They do help relieve pain, but come with a bunch of side effects.
What if we told you there were natural painkillers that can help you?

Is peppermint essential oil on our list?
What makes turmeric so effective?
What about capsaicin?
We’ll be discussing all of these AND more...
1.Peppermint Essential Oil The
Peppermint plant comes with anti-inflammatory
and anti-microbial properties.
More importantly, it has properties that can relieve pain.
This is possible because of the compounds in the peppermint plant.
Research has shown that peppermint has been used to treat painful spasms and arthritis.
It also showed that using peppermint oil on your temples can reduce pain caused by headaches.
Peppermint oil can cause allergic reactions, so it’s best to test a small amount on yourself
before actually applying it on the area you want to fix.
Have you tried peppermint oil before?
Did it work?

2. Capsaicin
which can work as pain relief.
While the compound can cause a mild burning sensation, it won’t cause any additional
pain and will instead relieve you of any discomfort
you’re feeling.
Research has shown that creams or patches with capsaicin play a vital role in pain relief.
In fact, most products that are used to get rid of pain tend to have capsaicin in them.

3. Turmeric
Turmeric This is also an important spice used for pain
relief.
It has a compound called curcuma (kirk-oo-muh), which gives it pain relieving qualities.
It’s a commonly used remedy for reducing inflammation.
This is also why it’s regularly used in curries and smoothies.
In one study, over a period of four weeks, it was found that consuming curcuma extract
can be as effective as medication such as ibuprofen.
This is especially true for people with osteoarthritis.
No wonder several cultures drink turmeric milk or tea when you’re sick or in pain.
Wondering how to prepare them?
Well, turmeric milk is pretty simple.
All you have to do is add a pinch of turmeric to hot or cold milk, and just drink it.
You can add sugar or honey for taste.
For turmeric tea, you need to first boil water.
Let’s say you’re boiling 4 cups of water.
Add two teaspoons of ground, grated, or powdered turmeric.
Allow this mixture to simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Strain the tea into a container, and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
You can now enjoy your turmeric tea.
Personally, I like adding lemon juice and honey for extra flavor.
4.Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender essential oil is used by many people
to relieve pain.
The oil can also be used to treat anxiety, and help you fall asleep faster.
Before you apply it, you will need to dilute it with a carrier oil.
In one study among two groups of people, it was seen that the group inhaling lavender
oil were able to get rid of migraines quicker compared to the placebo group.
There is also research to suggest lavender
essential oil has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving
effects.
If you use lavender essential oil, make sure you don’t ingest it, as it can have toxic
effects on your body.
5.Eucalyptus Essential Oil
Eucalyptus plant is already quite popular
for its many medicinal properties.
One of those properties is pain relief.
Eucalyptus essential oil can not only help get rid of pain, but also bring down any swelling
and inflammation you may be suffering from.
In one study among people recovering from knee replacement surgery, two groups were
given eucalyptus and almond oil.
The group that inhaled eucalyptus oil 30 minutes every day for three days experienced greater
pain relief than the almond group.
However, eucalyptus oil should not be used on children or pets.
Also, you need to check if you have reactions to the oil, as it can trigger asthma.
Its also toxic for people who swallow it.
6.Ginger
Ginger is also very helpful when it comes
to relieving pain.
This is one of the reasons ginger is regularly used in diets.
You can also use it in teas and smoothies.
Fresh ginger is a lot healthier compared to ginger supplements.
Research shows that consuming 2 grams of ginger every day for five days can help reduce muscle
pain after running or resistance training.
7.Rosemary Essential Oil
Rosemary plants are also rich in properties
that can help relieve your pain.
Rosemary essential oil can bring down your inflammation levels, and help relax you.
It also has compounds that can boost your memory.
Research shows rosemary can also help treat headaches, as well as pain in your bones and
muscles.
It’s even capable of treating seizures.
Rosemary can do this by working on the receptors in your brain, which are responsible for the
pain.
Rosemary essential oil needs to be diluted with carrier oil before you use it.
For every three to five drops of essential oil, you need to dilute it with one ounce
of carrier oil.

In the study, participants were divided into groups that were given clove gel or benzocaine
gel, with a third group acting as a placebo.
The gels were applied to the inside of the participants’ mouths.

group.
Cloves also have anti-inflammatory properties.
