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]

The #1 Muscle That Eliminates Joint And Back Pain, Anxiety And Looking Fat

By Mike Westerdal CPT

Can you guess which muscle in your body is the #1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pain, anxiety and looking fat?

This is especially important if you spend a significant amount of time sitting every day (I do, and this really affects me in a big way!)

Working this "hidden survival muscle" that most people are simply not training because no-one ever taught them how will boost your body shape, energy levels, immune system, sexual function, strength and athletic performance when unlocked.

If this "hidden" most powerful primal muscle is healthy, we are healthy.
