Around 50 million Americans deal with chronic pain each day. It can last months or even years and occurs all over the body. So, how do you know if you are experiencing chronic pain?
Read on to learn about what chronic pain is and the common types of chronic pain that get diagnosed.
What Is Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain is pain that lasts 12 weeks or more. It may be a sharp pain or dull pain, or it may feel like burning or aching. It can be a constant pain or intermittent, fading in and out. Continue reading →
Countless people swear by ancient remedies, relying on at-home options, essential oils, plants, and other more natural methods for healing an ailment. Though many of these things do work well for certain illnesses or particular pains, not everyone benefits from ancient treatments. When these cures fail to work for you, there are some other options available.
Surgery
While certain oils may help with some mild pain, such as peppermint oil, it won’t help if there is a chronic or otherwise serious issue causing major pain.
A broken bone or body filled with arthritis cannot be cured with essential oils or home remedies. For example, if someone has unbearable pain in their hip caused by arthritis, a hip replacement surgery would be the right option to actually fix the problem and not just treat some of the symptoms of pain.
Anyone who tries other options and still has no pain relief, and has such terrible pain that it debilitates them and makes it difficult to remain mobile, should look into surgery as a treatment option. Continue reading →
Paul Brundtland – Countless people who have suffered from years of pain, discomfort, and limited physical ability have found complete healing through mind/body re-education. Many of these people have seen resolution in remarkably short periods of time.
Medical doctors such as John E. Sarno (author of Healing Back Pain, The Mindbody Prescription, and The Divided Mind) and Lissa Rankin (author of Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof You Can Heal Yourself, and The Fear Cure) have documented case upon case of people who have healed various illnesses through re-education and psychologically-based means.

Anna LeMind – Dr. Joe Dispenza claims that every time we learn something new, hundreds of thousands of our neurons change, which affects the state of our physical body.
Joe Dispenza
Dr. Dispenza is known worldwide for his original theory of the connection between mind and matter. The scientist gained his greatest fame after the release of his acclaimed documentary «We know what makes a signal» in 2004. His research helped disclose the extraordinary possibilities of consciousness and its ability to create synaptic connection with a strong concentration.
Just imagine: with each new sensation, vision or emotional experience a new connection between two of more than 100,000 million brain cells is inevitably formed.
But to really make changes, one needs to concentrate on the reinforcement of the conditioned reflex. If, within a short period of time such an experience takes place again, the connection will be strengthened. If the experiment is not repeated for a long time, the relationship will become weaker or disappears at all.
Science regards the brain as something static and fixed, but in fact it has a strong ability to change. Recent studies in neuroscience have shown that the effect of each body experiences in our thinking organ (fatigue, fear, joy, cold) acts to change our brain.
“What if just by thinking we make our inner alchemy out of the normal state so often that the self-regulation system of the body eventually considers this abnormal state to be the normal one?” – Asks Dr. Dispenza in his book -Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind- published in 2007
Dispenza insists that the brain is not able to distinguish between a physical sensation and an emotional experience. Thus, when our minds are always focused on the negative thoughts, our “gray matter” can easily be deceived and bring the body into a painful state. Continue reading →
Treating chronic pain is a complex issue because there are numerous factors that contribute to its development and persistence. Contrary to popular belief, most instances of chronic pain do not actually originate in the muscles, bones, and tissues, but rather in the nerves, which means eating foods and taking herbs that promote central nervous system health may be the best approach to getting rid of chronic pain for good. Here are 10 ways to treat chronic pain naturally without drugs:
Willow bark
1) Willow bark. Used for thousands of years in many different cultures to reduce fever and inflammation, willow bark is a powerful painkilling herb that is still used today to treat back pain, arthritis, headaches, and inflammatory conditions like bursitis and tendinitis. The active ingredient in willow bark, salicin, is actually the compound that was first used in the 1800s to develop aspirin. Though it may not work as quickly as aspirin, willow bark is said to provide longer-lasting benefits without the harmful side effects. (http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/willow-bark-000281.htm)
2) Cannabis. Aside from its psychoactive effects, the active ingredient in cannabis, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is a powerful analgesic with proven pain-relieving properties. Numerous studies have found that taking cannabis can help ease neurological pain without causing harmful side effects, which makes it a far more promising candidate than what conventional medicine has to offer. And even better than smoking cannabis is juicing its leaves raw, which has been shown to actually reverse chronic pain and illness. (http://www.naturalnews.com/035759_cannabis_juicing_health.html)
3) Turmeric. One of the most powerful known anti-inflammatory herbs, turmeric is virtually unparalleled in its ability to treat arthritis, gout, autoimmune disease, sciatic, and other inflammatory conditions. Systemically, turmeric helps quell disease-causing inflammation in all its forms, and may be the key to overcoming whatever pains might be ailing you.
