Holistic Pain Management




Pain management is a holistic approach that focuses on treating the root causes of pain and educating patients on how to manage their conditions in order to achieve long-term relief.

Herbs

Herbs are a popular treatment for pain because they're easy to use and have few side effects. They can be taken as teas or tinctures, and they're often used in salves and ointments as well. Herbs work by decreasing inflammation and increasing blood flow to the area where you're experiencing pain, which helps the body heal itself naturally from injuries or illness. You can use herbs both acutely--when you have an injury or inflammation that needs immediate attention--and chronically--for long-term conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia that require ongoing treatment over time.

Herbs are also beneficial for both physical and emotional pain: some herbs reduce physical symptoms such as muscle spasms while others address psychological issues such as anxiety or depression by calming your mind so that you feel less stressed out by your condition oils are derived from the flowers, leaves, roots, bark or other elements of a plant. They have been used for centuries to treat health conditions and improve mood. Essential oils can be applied topically or inhaled through diffusers.

When used in aromatherapy they can help with pain management and mood by stimulating receptors in the brain that control emotions and feelings.

Vitamins and Minerals

Vitamins and minerals are essential for good health. They can help your body with many things, including pain management. There are several ways you can get vitamins and minerals:

  • Taking supplements in pill form (this is the easiest method)

  • Eating foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals (such as leafy greens)

Vitamin supplements can be expensive, but there are some that are less expensive than others.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the practice of inserting needles into the body to relieve pain. It's most commonly used for pain management, but it has also been shown to improve sleep quality and reduce anxiety. Acupuncture can be helpful for conditions like arthritis or back pain, but you should talk with your doctor before trying acupuncture if you have any medical conditions or are taking medications that interact with acupuncture.

There are several different types of acupuncture:

  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): This form focuses on balancing yin and yang energy through various techniques such as hand positions on specific points on your body; moxibustion--burning dried herbs over acupressure points; cupping--putting glass cups over certain areas where blood flow is restricted; massage; dietary changes such as avoiding dairy products because they're thought to cause dampness within one's body; meditation and exercise routines like tai chi chuan (Tai Chi) which focuses on moving slowly instead of quickly so that one doesn't put too much pressure on joints while exercising

There are many options for pain management that do not involve prescription medication.

Treating Food as Medicine for Chronic Pain

  Are you tired of living with chronic pain? I know I was! I felt like no doctor was listening to my concerns and with the new opioid restrictions, the thought of relief was just a dream. Chronic pain can be debilitating and affect every aspect of your life.  Imagine being able to do the things you love without constant discomfort. Picture a life where you can focus on the things that matter the most to you. With the right approach and guidance, it's possible to reduce the impact of chronic pain on your daily life.  I have mentioned in my other posts, my doctors wanted me to take an insane amount of ibuprofen and acetaminophen on a daily basis. My main concern was that my liver and kidneys would be damaged and guess what? I would be in even more pain because lets get real, ibuprofen and acetaminophen do not take away chronic pain. I was also given gabapentin, which is a prescription drug used as an anticonvulsant. However, they are distributing this drug like tic-tacs for...

Palmitoylethanolamide (Pea) for Pain and Inflammation

This is the one I purchased from Amazon People afflicted with fibromyalgia, low back pain, Osteoarthritis and other conditions may find relief by taking Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). As a proponent of experimentation in pain management approaches, I initiated an investigation into the effects of PEA to see if it can assist pain control. Doctor Forrest Tennant, an expert in this field who has developed a self-help protocol for Adhesive Arachnoiditis (AA), suggested the use of PEA. After extensive research, I found evidence indicating that PEA may be effective as part of a broader pain management strategy. I decided to give it a try considering there have been no major reported side effects besides nausea. Today is day one. I have decided to start with a low dose 300mg in the morning and 300 mg at night.  Check out this great article from iherb.com I have included some of the article below. It was truly a great read.  PEA Positive Clinical Benefits in Conditions Associated with P...
