ANALGESICS
Natural Pain Relief
Many people are rightly concerned about using manufactured ‘pain-killers’ as these may cause side effects. However, there are some herbs that contain quite strong analgesic properties. White willow bark contains constituents very similar to aspirin. It was in looking at what the ancient apothecaries did with this herb that we were able to develop aspirin.
White willow bark does not produce the side effects of the other analgesics so it can be very gentle in its pain-relieving properties. It is effective for headache, muscular ache and backache. It is available in health food stores. The herb is usually mixed with other herbs that also have slight analgesic properties.
It has been shown in experimental studies that D L phenylalanine can relieve pain when patients are taken off other medications. The study noted over 50% reduction in pain. If pain continues for a long time then you should see your practitioner.
