I take glucosamine daily for my joints and 1040 mg of fish oil for general health. If i forget to take them for a day or two i will feel it badly in my knees! For quick relief of joint pain, muscle pain, and/or headaches i use peppermint essential oil applied topically. Best for muscle pain is magnesium oil or applied topically.

Opium is natural and works great.


If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

A friend has gone on bone in a knee and uses 2 tbls of honey and 1 level tsp of cinnamon in a cup of hot water. Hasn't needed a cortisone shot in over a year. I've been doing it and my dad who has a bad knee and he couldn't believe it!

Sounds very similar to the Balm of Gilead, which if my memory is correct, was Poplar bud oil.

Not a natural pain killer, but I have found to keep active as possible and KEEP THE WEIGHT DOWN.

I have been taking Glucosomine 1500 miligrams for 6-7 years now. Has worked well for me. It worked for our yellow lab so I thought I would give it a try too. Might not be natural but I will use what works within reason.
Ice also kills pain. I agree also with activity and keeping weight down as being very important. Especially as one ages and muscles lose their strength, putting more pressure on joints and ligaments.

I have made a tincture of Hops, the very same used in beer, and it works extremely well for pain. I get back spasms and usually take naproxen if it gets to be un-bearable. But, it seems to me that the hops tincture works just as well or better than the naproxen. The downside is if you take too much it messes with your gut too much due to the anti-microbial properties of hops (one of the main reasons it was added to ales). It works well for pain due to the anti-inflammatory properties of the Lupulin. It also has a relaxant effect similar to Valerian Root so that is a bonus with the spasms. The variety that I used was Chinook, the next batch will be Sorachi-Ace. Will be interesting to compare the two. You can use any edible spirit to make a tincture, cheap vodka seems to work great being a neutral spirit.

If you really want to reduce pain in your body the most natural way...Eat right.. no more junk food...LOSE THE EXTRA WEIGHT AND EXERCISE!!! Most people won't do this because it's hard.

Everyone wants to find magic in a pill. I don't mean to sound harsh but it's true.

We chew the tips of willow on the river if we get a headache. It will knock out a headache in about 20 to 30 minutes. Aspirin or ibuprofen works better, but if you don't have those willow bark works.

Believe it is in the same family. Started making it this year and it works great for arthritis and even helps my wife's nephropathy.

Most Walmarts sell alfalfa tablets. Pretty inexpensive for a bottle. 6 tablets in the morning, 6 in the evening. Works for some people.

Glf - not everyone that has pain is overweight, doesnt exercise, and eats junk food. I am 38 years old, 6’2” and weigh 180 lbs which is far from overweight. I am very active at work as well as at home, bike riding, jogging, and sports. Sometimes people need that magic pill for reasons out of their control. And thats the truth!

I understand where you are coming from, railroader. All the joint , muscle, and headache sufferers have my sympathy.

If you have arthritis or scar tissue in your joints, Bromelain, an enzyme found in pineapple. eat or drink for a while and the stiffness and swelling will ease or go away. Works for me.
