NATURAL PAINKILLERS Part.2
3. GINGER
Ginger contains natural oil, which is responsible for its taste. Chemical compounds in this oil include gingerols and shogals, which have an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. These compounds are also effective in treating nausea and vomiting.
Choose a liquid drug, for example, from Herb Pharm. Take 1 pipette with a small amount of water 20 minutes before meals, 2 times a day. With severe pain, 2-3 pipettes can be done.
Ginger is completely safe: during meta-analysis and reviews conducted on this issue, side effects were associated with a feeling of gastrointestinal discomfort in clinical trials, otherwise no side effects were found.
Relieves pain and inflammation
Ginger contains anti-inflammatory compounds that act in the same way as COX-2 inhibitors (drugs used to treat pain and inflammation).
Helps with menstrual pain
In the study, ginger at a dosage of 1 g per day, spread over several doses, was effective for pain relief in women with primary dysmenorrhea.

2. WILLOW BARK

It is effective for heat, headaches, including migraines, menstrual pain, osteoarthritis, lower back pain. Contains a large number of bioflavonoids with anti-inflammatory properties.
White willow bark has a high degree of safety, but it is not suitable for children under 3 years of age and pregnant women.
