Try turning to nature for painkillers rather than the over the counter drugs. You may be surprised at how good nature is!!

Try tomato juice for muscle cramps. It’s a rich source of magnesium.

Honey for cuts or sore patches. It’s anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral. It’s a bit sticky, so try putting a plaster over it!!

Krill oil is good for arthritis. In one study it effectively reduced arthritic conditions.

Horseradish is good for clearing the sinuses. Think how you feel if you’ve accidentally eaten too much, it goes into your nose and makes your eyes water.

Grapes are good for backache. Research conducted at Ohio State University found that eating fresh grapes each day can help improve the blood supply to the muscles and tissues. It can happen within three hours!!

Do you have problems with knee pain? Apart from trying some of the natural pain relievers, exercise has been found to be extremely beneficial. It may seem the last thing you want to do if you’re in pain, but if you can put up with a little discomfort it will benefit you in the long run. It seems that the condition of the muscles surrounding the knee, and in particular the quadricep ( the long thigh muscle ) are of paramount importance in maintaining knee health. You don’t have to do hour long workouts at the gym, it’s little and often. Even a simple balance on one leg for a few minutes each day can help.
