Surprisingly Helpful Tips For Wyomingites Dealing With Pain
The worst part of getting older is getting older. Aches, pains, stiffness, and soreness happen out of nowhere for no real reason. How the heck can you deal with all that without being in the doctor's office every week?
I'm not saying that going to the doctor's office is bad. I'm not telling you not to go; you should go if you need to.
Just this week, my toe started hurting. I thought maybe my shoe was on too tight or that my foot had been in the same position for a while while I was driving was causing it. As the evening progressed, so did the pain in my toe. By bedtime, I couldn't hardly walk. I was sitting in the truck driving. Sheesh.
I began researching how to eliminate the pain and stiffness. I mean, our grandparents could fight pain without seeing the doctor all the time, so how did they do it? By using things they had around the house or natural resources. Some doctors will point you in the natural direction, too, so you know they have to work.
Here are five that Dr. Erik Richardson says work.
- Capsaicin - The key ingredient in chili peppers.
- Tumeric - Turmeric provides one of nature's best-kept secrets, curcuminoids, a group of antioxidants that supports healthy inflammation response associated with physical overexertion
