Using Healing Herbs for Pain and PMS

Finally scientists are starting to validate natural herbal remedies abilities to lessen arthritis pain, PMS, high blood pressure, high blood sugar and cholesterol and help with many other conditions.

They're even discovering amazing new powers in some herbs, such as the ability to kill cancer cells and help problem drinkers curb their alcohol intake.

Healing herbs have been around for hundreds of thousands of years and documented (written) for several millenniums (1,000 years).

At first their healing powers were spread by word of mouth until some smart doctor starting writing them down to make sure they weren’t lost. Smart move, don’t you think?

All of our modern drugs come from some form of plant whether it’s a healing herb, tree, or shrub. Mother Nature has been taking care of humans since the beginning of, well, humans and if we’re smart we’ll follow her lead.

I found a natural herbal remedies recipe for pain and PMS. Men, you’re going to want to read this one and learn how to make it to have it around all the time. Some other healing herbs to use for pain are:

Turmeric: It helps Ease Arthritis Pain

Turmeric is always in curry, so the more you eat the better off your arthritis pain will be. Turmeric also helps colon cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. Turmeric contains curcumin and that’s a powerful anti-inflammatory. So you can see why it would work with arthritis pain.

Nancy Kalish rules on healing herbs:

Rule # 1: Don't assume it's safe. Herbs are not regulated by the FDA for safety or efficacy. So search the label for a seal of approval from the USP (United States Pharmacopeia) or CL (Consumer-Lab.com), which indicates it has been approved by certified academic laboratories. For a fee, you can research particular products at ConsumerLab.com.

Rule # 2: Talk with your doctor. It's best to tell him if you're considering supplements. Some herbs can interact with certain meds, including those for high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression, as well as blood thinners and even OTC drugs. View a partial list of herb-drug interactions published by the University of Michigan Health System Drug Information Service.

Rule # 3: Don't overdo it. More isn't necessarily better--and could be dangerous. Always follow dosing instructions.
