The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that over 65% of the world's population (3 billion people) rely primarily on natural medicines as their main method of health care.
The U.S. government now sponsors acupuncture in drug rehabilitation programs, and nearly a third of American medical schools are now offering courses in alternative medicines, including Yale, John's Hopkins, and Georgetown.
Apart from acupuncture, following are some other natural pain therapies you may want to consider:
1. Drink water - It may seems simple, but avoiding dehydration can help ward off numerous ailments, including headaches, cramping and fatigue.
2. Caffeine - Caffeine is one ingredient in many of the major over-the-counter pain medicines.
3. Fish Oil - Fish oil enthusiasts claim that it reduces inflammation and works by restricting blood vessels in the temples. This could be welcome news for the millions who suffer from migraine headaches.
4. Eat Ginger or Take a Ginger Supplement - Nausea can often be hard to treat, even with over-the-counter medicines. Ginger is often recommended to pregnant women, who may suffer from nausea, but are not allowed to take other medications.
5. Willowbark - Willowbark can act as a natural form of aspirin. It contains salocin, which is the active ingredient of aspirin.
6. Hops - Hops is a potent anti-inflammatory.
