How To Get Rid Of Muscle Pain Naturally
Muscle aches and pains bothering you? First you have to figure out WHY you have muscle pain. Look for patterns.
- Is it all over your body or just in certain areas?
- Does it only hurt after certain activities?
- Do you wake up with it?
- Or does it get worse over the day?
Let’s say your muscle pain is in one area only.
Some therapists, doctors and individuals try to get rid of the pain by treating the area that hurts. But the answer is often not to attack only the area where it hurts because that area is just a symptom.
The answer is to get to the Read the rest of this entry »
Natural Relief For Nerve Pain In Feet
Medical conditions that affect your nerves can cause foot pain. It may feel like burning and it may feel like a lack of sensation.
The drug Lyrica caused uncomfortable side effects for a reader and she asked for natural suggestions.
I am really biased about the benefits of massage therapy. But sometimes it’s hard to reach your own feet and lower legs.
Also, massage always feels better and more effective when someone else does it for us. But even when we do our own massage there are benefits.
What are those benefits?
- Massage increases circulation of blood and lymph fluid.
- It helps create healthier tissues.
- It promotes healthier nerves.
- It acts as exercise. You don’t get the aerobic benefits but when your muscles are being massaged it is as though they are exercising.
- It creates a sense of feeling good even if you can’t feel it well in your feet and lower legs (or hands and arms.)
- Massage can move swelling away from the ankles and help relieve ‘stiffness’ in the muscles.
Some years ago, I was aware of a local doctor who Read the rest of this entry »
Natural Remedy For Strong Bones
Want stronger bones? Weight bearing exercise will help you have the bones you lust after: dense and strong.
What is weight bearing exercise? It’s as simple as standing and walking.
The ideal weight bearing exercise is done with good posture. If you walk straight and tall your bones are all stacked as they are supposed to be. And when they are stacked like that, they bear your weight.
And that makes bones stronger.
That’s the simple natural remedy for strong bones: good posture and walking. (<– Click this link to find a free report about walking without aches and pains.)

Prunes for Strong Bones?
I happen to love prunes. They taste like candy to me. But not everyone feels the same way. In fact, prunes have taken such a bad rap that now if you look for them in the market you may not find them.
What you MAY find is dried plums. That is their newest name. Regardless. They still taste yummy.
Potassium and boron are two of the components of strong bones and guess what? Prunes have lots of those two minerals. Prunes also have Vitamin K and lots of great fiber.
Studies indicate that eating 5 to 10 of these lovely dried plums each day will help you have stronger bones. Don’t eat them all at once but space them out over the day.
Seriously, please don’t eat 10 at once.
Trust me.
What Causes Lower Back Pain?
Pain in your lower back is almost always caused by muscles. Why?
Muscles move bones, joints and disks in your spine. Muscles are the prime movers of your body! You can move only because you have muscles.
Yay, muscles!!
On the other hand, when your muscles get out of balance–too strong on one side of your body and too weak on the other then we don’t say, “Yay, muscles!”
We say, “Ouch!”
Dang muscles causing low back pain.
Well, it’s not their fault. They wouldn’t be unhappy and complaining if Read the rest of this entry »

What Is The Best Pillow To Use?
A “bad” pillow can be a real “pain in the neck.”
A temperature-sensitive type of foam pillow like Tempurpedic works well for many people. There is a version with built in neck rolls. Because of the type of foam, the pillow will be firmer in the winter than in the summer.
Tempurdic pillows can be pricey but there are similar versions by other companies that cost much less and feel much the same.
Or…you can create your own neck roll and flattish pillow from batts of fiberfill. You can buy a batt at a fabric store or KMart. Just unroll enough to fit under your neck comfortably. Fiberfill is really cheap so you can refresh your pillows easily.
I don’t sew so I just roll my homemade fiberfill neck roll into a pillow case. You can make a few rolls in different sizes so when your neck ‘changes’ you can still be comfortable.
All the neck rolls I have ever tried have been waaaaay too high but by making my own I can have a comfortable night’s sleep.
I have lots more to say so here’s the link to another article for you with a lot more information about sleeping and pillows:
