Relief From All Types of Pain

For centuries, Eastern cultures have achieved pain relief through the use of all-natural products and alternative methods. Americans are now starting to adopt the same products and methods as they come to realize that pain relief does not have to come in the form of a chemical laden pill that can have dangerous side effects and that merely masks the pain instead of eliminating it. They are finding that these natural alternatives are much safer and more effective at eliminating pain.
Americans have become accustomed to taking both over-the-counter and prescription painkillers for pain relief. In doing so, they are subjecting their bodies to chemicals that can have nasty side effects or worse yet, that can cause serious damage to internal organs. In addition, many chronic pain sufferers become addicted to these medications, which can and often do destroy their lives. For these reasons, many prescription drugs have been classified as controlled substances that are strictly scrutinized by the government. This has also caused many to search for safer alternatives.
Herbs and essential oils have been found to be extremely beneficial in the treatment of many ailments, not just pain relief. They have very few, if any, side effects and they are much safer than prescription drugs. Herbs in particular have become commonplace in many American homes. Studies have also shown that they work with the body to help strengthen its natural healing process, which addresses the underlying cause of pain rather than just the pain itself. The list of herbs that can be used for natural pain relief is extensive and includes Valerian, Tumeric, Cannabis, Willow Bark, Kava Kava, and St. Johns Wort.
Essential oils have analgesic agents that are responsible for alleviating pain. Some of the better-known essential oils are Peppermint, Cinnamon, Rosemary, Ginger, Pine, Lavender, and Birch. They are often used in conjunction with herbs to create an effective remedy for pain. One thing to keep in mind, not only with essential oils but with any type of natural pain relief, is that it may take several days or even several weeks before you see a marked improvement.
Another form of natural pain relief that is becoming popular in America is Acupuncture. Acupuncture is a method that inserts needles into specific parts of the body, usually those associated with the peripheral nerves. Inserting these needles into the body releases a natural anesthesia that relieves the pain that can be associated with certain ailments such as migraines and arthritis. Some have found that it is extremely beneficial in the treatment of stress and depression. It can also help alleviate sleeplessness or insomnia.
While there is still much research to be conducted on natural pain relief options, the results that we have thus far are promising. Many people are finding that they prefer natural pain relief to other options, such as prescription and over-the-counter pain relievers. They no longer have to deal with dangerous side effects and the cost is significantly lower. If you suffer from chronic pain, you may want to consider giving natural pain relief a try. Many people swear by it.

Causes of nerve pain are numerous but the main ones include:
-Damaged and/or compressed nerves due to a traumatic event such as a fall,
-Nerve damage following surgery,
-Sciatica,
-Plantar fasciitis or foot pain in general,
-Fibromyalgia, pain in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons,
-Nerve damage caused by drug abuse,
-Post-herpetic Neuralgia (PHN), the onset pain from the Shingles Rash,
-Diabetes, neuropathy and neuropathic pain.
To get pain relief, you have several options, but none of them work all the time, and most are not without risk to your body one way or the other. The body has the unique ability to adjust to most medications, in that, over time given sustained use; it requires more and more of the same pain relief medicine to achieve the same level of pain relief.
•    The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney diseases reports that over the counter NSAIDS such as aspirin, ibuprofen and the like may temporarily ease your pain but their use is not without risk to other areas of your body.
•    Any product with capsaicin as an ingredient may offer temporary pain relief.
•    Certain depressants such as amitriptyline, imipramine, or nortriptyline are sometimes effective.
•    Clinical trials indicate that Mexiletine is effective in treating pain.
•    Codeine can be used for a short time to relieve pain, but it can be very addictive.
•    Homeopathic Drugs and Applications can be very effective.
•    Alternative medicines such as Menastil, EZ Pain Relief and Heartland are topically applied.
•    Other pain treatments…
o    Acupuncture
o    Electrical stimulation devices (TENS)
o    Hypnosis
o    Biofeedback
The key to dealing with your pain understands the root cause of pain. ALL pain is due to nerve damage agitation, no exceptions. The level of nerve agitation and resultant pain is directly related to the inflammation present in the painful area which reduces the level of blood and oxygen flow into the
infected area.
The most effective pain relief medications, cause the nerve ends to relax and allow the blood and oxygen to flow back into the infected area to effectively cut-off the signals to the spinal cord and therefore to the brain resulting in pain relief. You still have the problem; you just do not feel it as much.
Non-narcotic, non-addictive, all natural pain relief medications are available from The Centre for Pain Relief. Check out their website to determine if one of their products can help you with your painful condition.

Selling magnets as pain relief is a multi-billion industry. However, there is no scientific evidence that they actually work.
Twenty-nine potentially relevant studies in a literature search were found. Of those 4 were only abstracts and or posters, which were not suited for the study and were taken out of the pool. Another 9 studies were excluded because of inconsistent and inappropriate statistical analysis.
That left the researchers with 16 published studies of which only 9 used the same scale to measure pain and pain reduction.
The final nine studies looked at foot pain, fibromyalgia, lower back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, osteoarthritis and delayed onset muscle soreness.
The meta-analysis of the clinical data of these nine studies showed that, overall, the effect of magnets was not significant. On the visual pain analog scale, the mean difference between the magnet group and the placebo group was 2.1 mm, which was not statistically significant.
Despite the inconclusive results there seem to be only one possible pain that may positively reduced by magnets. According to the study, “Peripheral joint osteoarthritis was the one condition for which the evidence appeared encouraging.”
Four studies involved peripheral joint osteoarthritis. In two of them (with 26 and 43 participants, respectively) there seem to be positive effects due of static magnets when compared with placebo A third and larger trial, with 190+ participants showed results that were not different when compared to a placebo. On the contrary side, a small study of 13 people who used magnets t for a 24-hour period for their knee osteoarthritis saw no effect, the study says.
Osteoarthritis (OA), also known as degenerative arthritis, degenerative joint disease, is a condition in which inflammation results in pain in the joints. OA is believed to be caused by wearing of the cartilage that covers joints. The OA patients experience pain upon walking and standing.
Despite magnets being touted as good for pain relief there is no conclusive evidence of their effectiveness. This study continues to support the idea that despite being a multi million dollar industry there is no scientific base for defining magnets as a therapeutic alternative for pain relief.

A reliable, versatile, easy to administer, drugless form of pain relief is at last available!
Russian technology has developed a drugless method of high level pain relief through neurological biofeedback. In this advanced paradigm the brain itself provides the pain killing endorphins and other neuro-endocrine secretions.
The RussTech Pro-Vitalizer not only treats the pain, but also the causes of pain, can be immediately treated - whether the pain be in the nervous, respiratory, digestive, cardiac, circulatory, urogenital or musculo-skeletal systems.
Russian researchers say that 80% of people treated with the Pro-Vitalizer Plus reported ‘tremendous’ relief from their pain and 66% stated they had ‘complete’ pain relief. The only people unsuited to the treatment are those with pacemakers or in the first month of pregnancy.
So how does it work?
Well, basically, the unit is a portable, sturdy, user friendly, battery-powered device which is similar to electronic acupuncture. On application of the unit, a signal stimulates the brain to form a bio-feedback loop, which then instructs the nervous system to generate neuropeptides - the key biochemicals which help the body to heal itself.
These chemicals are also analgesic - hence the pain relief. This pain relief is instantaneous and, just as importantly, this pain relief is lasting. The Pro-Vitalizer Plus also helps speed up the healing time of what was causing the pain initially. Crucially, it has been thoroughly and rigorously tested by Russian scientists and doctors and proven to be successful and free from side effects.
The Russ Tech Pro-Vitalizer Plus was originally developed as a professional level device but it is completely suitable for domestic use. It does not require great technical expertise or medical knowledge to administer and has a user-friendly LCD screen.
This allows individuals to use the device for personal pain relief - for the endless variety of ailments and accidents that occur in all families with no danger of exacerbating a condition or introducing possible side effects from inappropriate drugs.
For all of us concerned with the proliferation of prescription and non-prescription drugs, development of the Pro-Vitalizer Plus represents a milestone in the development of safe forms of pain relief and treatment that can be used with total confidence - and without drugs, or in conjunction with them.
