Heres a fantastic, fascinating list of natural painkillers that are common kitchen ingredients! What’s interesting is that the list is not just a basic list – but also gives specific information as to the type of pain that researchers have found that these natural ingredients may assist with – and the way in which the food is used (not all of the remedies involve actually eating the herb / food in question!) This list is absolutely incredible – and the uses are based on reports from scientific research (this info is included at the source article – link at the foot of the commentary). The original list is a bit of a long read though, requiring much scrolling – and so we thought it might be good to seem them all “at a glance” – so for those who want to “skim” through the list really quickly, Here is a “short version” of the top 20, together with a summary of the condition each item is used for. Top 20 Natural Painkillers List Ginger (add to 1-2 teaspoons daily to diet for general muscle pain) Cloves (chewed gently for toothache / gum inflammation) Apple Cider Vinegar (1tbsp mixed with water before meals for heartburn) Garlic (made into a special oil for earache – recipe at the original article) Cherries (joint pain, headaches – 1 bowl per day) Oily fish (Salmon, tuna, sardines, trout, mackerel, herring – intestinal inflammation – 18oz per week) Yogurt (PMS – 2 cups per day) Turmeric (chronic pain – 1/4 teaspoon per day) Oats (endometrial pain – they are gluten free) Salt (hot, salty foot baths for ingrown toenails – 1tsp per cup of water – 20 mins twice daily) Pineapple (stomach bloating, gas – 1 cup of fresh pineapple) Peppermint (add a few drops of the essential oil to bath for sore muscles) Grapes (back pain – 1 heaping cup per day) Water (general injury pain, helps wash away the pain-triggering histamine – 8 x 8 ounce glasses per day) Horseradish (sinus pain – 1 teaspoon twice daily) Blueberries (bladder / urinary tract infections – 1 cup daily) Raw Honey (topical application 4 times daily for cold sores / canker sores) (see also our special report on raw honey) Flax (breast pain – 3 tablespoons daily – must be ground or seeds will pass right through!)
