The pain relief industry generate multiple billions of dollars every year as people turn to medication to help relieve the aches and pains that come with every day life. Unfortunately, almost all over the counter and prescription analgesics have potentially negative side effects and many of them can cause such problems as stomach bleeding and liver damage with sustained use. Fortunately, there are a number of natural substances and techniques that can be used to treat pain without resorting to potentially harmful prescription and over the counter medication.
One very powerful form of natural pain relief is self hypnosis. Self hypnosis involves placing the mind in a calm and peaceful state where it is susceptible to suggestion. For those who can achieve self hypnosis, they can simply suggest to the mind that the injury does not hurt. As strange as it may sound, the mind will accept this suggestion. People skilled at self hypnosis have even used the technique to undergo surgical and dental procedures without anesthesia and without any visible signs of pain. Self hypnosis used to reduce pain is also seen in many native tribes that perform rituals such as piercing and fire walking. Practitioners report no pain after undergoing these apparently painful procedures.
In addition to uses mind techniques to alleviate pain, there are also natural substances that can be used as a source of natural pain relief. Ginger and Arnica are natural substances that can be used topically to treat certain superficial wounds. They must be applied directly to non broken skin to provide minor pain relief.
