3 Awesome Natural Pain Relievers – Try Them All!

We all suffer from various aches and pains, and many of us are direly familiar with the serious dangers that pharmaceutical interventions like painkillers bring to the table. That’s why we decided to compile a list of the 3 of the best natural pain relievers that actually work. The best part? These natural solutions also come with a host of other benefits, from anti-cancer properties to enhanced immunity.

1. Garlic for Toothache

Generally sparked by infection, decay, injury, a cracked tooth, or loss of a tooth, a toothache can cause excruciating and seemingly everlasting pain. Sometimes it’s easiest to pay a visit to the dentist (so as long as no drastic measures are taken), while much of the time all you need is a natural remedy.

Among the most popular of home remedies for toothache, the natural solutions that is garlic has been passed down for years. Garlic contains a powerful compound called allicin, which helps to makeup garlic’s antibiotic, infection-busting properties. When garlic is crushed, this compound is released, helping to slow bacterial activity upon application and ingestion.

Try applying a crushed garlic clove or garlic powder to the area. It may burn, but the pain could vanish within minutes (fair warning, it could also take an hour or more). Repeat this over a few days, and you all should be well.

2. Aloe Vera for Burns

Likely unsurprising to many, aloe is one of the best natural substances one can use to help heal burns while relieving pain. There is a reason it’s one of the main ingredients in over-the-counter products used for burns.

To use aloe vera for burns, simply squeeze the juice out of an aloe vera plant and apply it to the burn. Alternatively, you can buy organic aloe vera gel at your local natural grocery market. You’ll soon agree that aloe is one of the best home remedies for burns out there.

3. Ginger for Inflammatory-Related Pain

Looking for some natural pain relief for inflammatory-related discomfort? Enter ginger. We’ve long touted ginger for its anti-inflammatory properties, which are especially useful for joint pain.

For many individuals, ginger can be just as effective as ibuprofen for arthritic pain relief, only without the nasty side-effects. It also relieves upset or queasy stomachs. The traditional way to prepare ginger is by making a tea from the roots. Buy the roots, shave of the skins, and slice up enough to cover the bottom of a medium sized pan. Fill with purified water and bring to a boil, then let it simmer for a half hour. After it cools you can refrigerate it.

Another method is to juice the roots with a slow-speed masticating juicer. Keep that juice in your fridge then put at least a tablespoon in water or a healthy beverage of your choice and drink.
