Looking for an effective all-natural way for pain management? Whether your suffering from muscle pain, back pain, a toothache, sinus issues, stomach aches, or chronic inflammation, the solution to alleviate your pain is probably lying around in your kitchen. Here are 8 natural foods that have science-supported pain killing effects:
1. Garlic: A study published in JAMA found that ear drops containing garlic were effective in managing earaches. [1] Another 2016 study concluded that “Raw garlic has anti-bacterial effects against H. pylori residing in the stomach.” [2]
2. Ginger: If you’ve been working out and your muscles feel worn out and painful, studie show that ingesting ginger may help relieve the muscle pain. [3]
3. Organic Grapes: Anthocyanins in grapes could reduce inflammation-induced back pain. [4]
4. Peppermint: A study published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine shows that peppermint is a traditional medicine that was used as a remedy to relax painful muscles. [5] You can rub the essential oil on the affected part for relief.
5. Turmeric: Curcumin in turmeric is believed to help with chronic pain and inflammation. In fact, a small study found that it could be as effective as pharmaceutical options like ibuprofen. [6] Add the spice to your juices, smoothies, or curries.
6. Cloves: Did you know that clove gel has similar efficacy to benzocaine gel (a topical gel used to reduce tooth pain)? [7] It’s also a well-known home remedy for toothaches.
7. Oats: Endometriosis is a painful condition that plagues many women. Due to their lack of gluten, some scientists believe that oats could help reduce the pain and inflammation associated with the condition.
8. Horseradish: Struggling with sinus problems? Early research suggests that horseradish root has properties that could reduce symptoms of sinusitis. [8]
