Here are five other ways to relieve your pain that aren’t Tylenol:
1. Liposomal curcumin (without black pepper): Curcumin comes from turmeric root and has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Many companies add black pepper extract to enhance absorption. The only problem is that piperine pokes holes in your gut lining, making everything more absorbable, even things you don't want.
2. Cryotherapy: Sudden and intense cold exposure causes your body to release endorphins and special chemicals that reduce pain and inflammation.
3. Boswellia: AKA Indian frankincense, has been shown to inhibit 5-lipoxygenase, an enzyme responsible for inflammation.
4. PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field therapy): Involves applying a non-harmful magnetic field to a specific area and has been shown to increase circulation, enhance cellular metabolism, and boost healing.
5. Stephania root: Studies show that this herb reduces the production of important pain mediators.
