How to Avoid Pharmaceutical Pain Relief – Safe and Easy Natural Remedies

No matter which way you turn, you are always hearing about the dangers of pharmaceuticals. Whether they are released for over-the-counter (OTC) sale or are prescription pain medications, there always seems to be some harmful side effects we are often not aware of. For example, how many times has your doctor recommended ibuprofen or acetaminophen for swelling and associated pain? Do you really think they are safe?

The Journey Begins

While they are ‘safer’ than most narcotic pain medications, they still hold a fair amount of risk for side effects, including but not limited to, kidney damage. If you suffer from pain, chronic or acute, why not investigate some natural remedies which have been proven effective in both clinical trials and documented by other people like yourself who have actually tried those remedies? Once you recognize that most pharmaceuticals have some associated risks, your journey for safer alternatives begins.

A Quick Look at CBDs

Perhaps the leading natural remedy on the market for pain relief today would be products formulated with cannabidiol – CBD. These are often misunderstood because society tends to lump them in a category with marijuana. It is true that marijuana contains varying proportions of THC to CBD, depending on the strain, but CBDs will NOT get you high. There is no euphoria associated with CBD – that would be THC and you will not find that in CBD isolate. Here, it is necessary to stress ‘isolate’ because this is the purest form of CBD on the market. A CBD isolate is just as it sounds. It is extracted and isolated from every other substance in a compound. Therefore, if it bothers you that there may even be a ‘trace amount’ of THC in a natural pain relief, make sure your CBD product is formulated with an isolate.

An Assortment of Herbal Remedies Readily Available

In addition to CBD isolate, there are many herbs which have been used for centuries in those who suffer from pain. While classified as ‘herbs,’ some are actually tubers (roots) like ginger. Then there is capsaicin, a compound found in red chili peppers known to be effective as a topical application for pain relief. Some people find relief from:

  • Turmeric
  • Feverfew
  • Devil’s claw
  • Valerian root
  • St. John’s Wort
  • Ginseng
  • Kava kava

But, it seems that nothing is as powerful as cannabidiol because there are so many ways to use it and the body is equipped with CBD receptors which go a long way in metabolizing the pain-relieving properties of this amazing herb that really IS an herb.

Whether you want to sip on a cup of ginger tea or add extra turmeric and chili peppers to your curries, you can always magnify the benefits of those natural remedies with a good dose of CBD oil under the tongue. There isn’t a more all-encompassing natural remedy than cannabidiol and now that hemp CBD oil is legal in all 50 states, there is no reason to stock up on this amazing natural painkiller.
