Holistic approach to pain relief

Holistic approach to pain relief

The holistic approach to pain relief focuses on natural remedies. These natural remedies are supported by holistic health research. These natural remedies include herbal products and energy-related therapies.

All pain involves inflammation. Natural anti-inflammatory supplements are important to counteract inflammation. Primary anti-inflammatory supplements include fish oil, flaxseed oil, turmeric or curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric), ginger, boswellia, bromelain, tart cherry and tart cherry juice concentrate, burdock, cayenne pepper/capsacian, dpla, kratom, and gamma-linolenic acid. Turmeric can also be applied topically to the skin. Sprinkle turmeric on a wet cloth or paper towel and apply to the painful area. Eat a whole, organic, plant-based diet and follow detox programs with natural supplements to reduce inflammation.

For back and joint pain, including arthritis pain, try curcumin supplements. Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric, a great natural anti-inflammatory.

For muscle and other pain, sulfur crystals, valerian root, holy basil and St. John's wort supplements should be considered along with B complex vitamins, B1 vitamins, magnesium, turmeric/curcumin, kratom, ginger, boswellia, bromelain, burdock, tart cherry and concentrated tart cherry juice, Arnica, dlpa, cayenne pepper/capsacian and medical marijuana and CBD oil. These natural supplements help relax muscles and body and relieve pain. Massage is good for muscle, neck and back pain along with vibrating massage chairs and machines.

Holistic research also shows the benefits of devil's claw supplements, white willow bark supplements, cayenne pepper, ginseng and capsaicin, and kratom. Bromelain and Boswellia are also good anti-inflammatory supplements for pain relief.

For arthritis and joint pain, holistic research shows the benefits of a combination of glucosamine, chondroitin, methylsulfonylmethane (msm) and dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso), along with turmeric or curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric), sulfur crystals, valerian root supplements, white willow bark, Capsaicia, arnica, curcumin/turmeric, Dpla, hyaluronic acid, Boswellia serrata, colloidal gold, ginger, fish oil, linseed and linseed oil, hemp oil, krill oil, ashwagndha, sour cherry and tar cherry juice concentrate, dlpa, devil's claw, vitamin C and Rosehip supplements, boswellia, bromelain, aloe vera, skullcap, kratom, olive oil (rubbed into joints), silica, colloidal gold, a Chinese herb called Lei Gong Teng, bone broth, and eggshell membrane supplements.

To repair damaged bones and cartilage and improve joint health, drink bone broth, use gelatin powder, glycine supplements, glucosomine sulfate, amino acid supplements, silica, Biosil, drink diatomaceous earth in water (high in silica), and crushed and powdered organic egg shells (rich in calcium). It is important to repair bones and cartilage for arthritis and joint pain. Take magnesium, potassium and calcium supplements. Holistic research also shows the benefits of ozone therapy for arthritis and joint pain. All of this helps strengthen bones and cartilage. Improves blood circulation through exercise and stretching and nutritional supplements such as Lycopene and Co Q-10/Ubiquinol and Lutein.

To relieve muscle and joint pain (including arthritis pain), holistic research shows the benefits of sulfur crystals, MSM and glucosamine, dpla castor oil, turmeric, curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric), and sea salt applied topically with a wet cloth or towel. Also try ashwagandha, olive oil, and essential oils such as frankincense, myhr, cyprus, cedarwood, juniper berry, and peppermint. Take a bath with Epsom salts or bath salts. Add lavender and magnesium to your bath. Apply a washcloth soaked in warm water and Epsom salts or bath salts to the painful area.

For fibromyalgia and the emotional pain of depression, holistic research also points to the benefits of Sam-e, 5-htp, Ashwaghanda and D-3 in addition to the supplements mentioned above. A nutrient-dense diet is also important for fibromyalgia and depression, meaning a diet that consists primarily of whole, fresh vegetables. It is important to eliminate or greatly reduce consumption of processed foods and refined sugars and starches (gluten), along with saturated and trans fats and GMOs.

For fibromyalgia and depression it is also important to take good doses of natural vitamins (a, b complex, c, d3, e, k1 and k2) together with liquid, colloidal trace elements, co-q 10 and astragalus. Also try colloidal gold or silver for depression.

For the pain of neuropathy, it is also important to take good amounts of alpha lipoic acid, feverfew, bilberry and skullcap supplements, natural B complex (especially B1 and B12) and D3 vitamins, magnesium and an amino acid supplement along with cinnamon and turmeric and fish oil or flaxseed oil supplements. These amino acid supplements are also helpful: L-Citrulline, Acetyl-L-Carnitine and L-Arginine. Lower blood sugar levels through diet, exercise and supplements. Take apha lipoic acid, grape seed extract, lycopene, lutein, ginkgo biloba and HCA in sufficient quantities and receive craniosacral reiki, reflexology and foot massage. All of this will help blood flow to the feet and legs.

For Headaches-Magnesium, White Willow Bark, Cayenne Pepper Supplements, Capsaicin and B-Complex Vitamins and Tart Cherry and Concentrated Tart Cherry Juice and Tart Cherry Supplement.

Holistic research shows the benefits of ozone/oxygen therapy in combination with the other holistic techniques.

Other remedies for pain relief include massage, chiropractic care, Reiki and energy therapy, acupuncture and medical marijuana. It is also important to move and stretch to allow energy to flow freely to the site of pain. Also take salt baths with lavender essential oil and use relaxing essential oils such as vanilla, rose, and flowers. Also use spearmint and peppermint essential oils for pain.

Reduce stress and meditate. Stay heart-centered and in the moment, stopping negative and stressful thoughts and thoughts about your pain. Do deep breathing exercises where you breathe directly into your heart and stomach and focus on each breath.

Pain is a low vibrational energy. To relieve pain, it is important to cultivate inner peace and peace of mind and raise your vibrations. You do this by being in the moment, being happy, having fun, focusing on enjoying life and the positive details of work and errands, and doing things that make you happy. Here is a visualization exercise you can do to raise your vibrations to shake off the low vibrations of pain:

Sit or lie down. Make yourself comfortable. Relax. Take a deep breath. Just focus on your breathing. Close your eyes. Hold high vibration crystals in your hand (citrine, amethyst, orgone, clear quartz). Cross your hands together. With your applied will, imagine that you are expelling your energy in front of your torso about 3 to 6 inches from your torso. Do this with the intention of raising your vibrations.

Meditation helps in pain relief. So, do whatever you can to distract yourself from thinking about the pain—that is, fully engaging in the moment. Also look for massage, chiropractor, and acupuncture for pain relief.

Headaches can be due to stress or migraines. Regarding stress headaches, try natural remedies that help relieve stress such as vitamin B12, magnesium and valerian root supplements along with chamomile, skullcap and passionflower. Try feverfew and white willow bark supplements. Try relaxing scents made from essential oils like vanilla, rose, and other floral scents. Try deep breathing exercises and meditation. Have someone send you long distance Reiki. For headaches, also try the anti-inflammatory supplements described above along with fresh ginger. Fresh ginger is also recommended as a remedy for stomach pain.

For chronic headaches and migraines, take magnesium and have a Reiki practitioner heal you with craniosacral energy. This is hands-on energy healing that focuses on the head, sinuses, and neck. Craniosacral energy healing releases energy trapped in the head and sinuses that causes headaches and helps relieve tension in the neck. The Reiki practitioner draws trapped energy into your head, through your body, and out of your feet.

If you have chronic pain, check your thyroid function. Stress reduction, detoxification, and a diet consisting primarily of whole raw fresh organic vegetables in salads and juices (except lots of raw cruciferous vegetables) are said to improve your thyroid health. Avoid processed foods, refined sugars and starches. Drink pure water with fresh lemon. All of this will help your body/pH become alkaline and not acidic. This will help for thyroid health. Holistic research shows the benefits of magnesium, iodine, selenium and zinc and protein powder supplements for thyroid health. Holistic research also shows the benefits of herbal supplement blends for thyroid health. Many of these blends contain Ashwaghanda, Holy Basil, L-Tyrosine, Sea Kelp, and Shizandra, among others. For thyroid health, avoid gluten, dairy, and meat.

You can also release trapped energy in your head as follows: Lie down and focus on taking deep breaths into your heart. Imagine drawing energy from your head, through your body and legs, and out your feet. Hold grounding stones, such as Boji stones, in your left hand during this exercise. Also do the same visualization while sitting up and placing your bare feet on the floor. Imagine pulling the energy in your head into your body and legs, and pushing that energy deep into the ground through your feet.
