We have all experienced pain at some point/s in our life, the level of ‘Ouch’ we experience can range from a tiny little niggle to the most debilitating pain that can sadly stop us from our daily day to day activities. Today, we are quite lucky to be able to access western medicine solutions (which I have to say has its place), natural and homeopathic alternative remedies and exercise programs which can help to manage pain to some degree.

As a sufferer of chronic back pain for many years from a car accident in my teenage years, worsened by child birth and weight gain (which of course didn’t help) I can honestly say I have tried it all! I am happy to say that I have found my own natural solutions, some of which you will read below, combined with exercise and eating less inflammatory foods.

So let’s get down to it, I have done the reading and scoping for you, below I have compiled a short and simple guide explaining how these natural products and their ingredients can help manage pain naturally. A special note goes out to Mother Nature, all these products have her magic touch which means nothing harmful or toxic in the ingredients!
