These remedies include:

Menthol: This natural herb is actually approved as a pain reliever by the FDA.

Emu Oil: Used for centuries by the Australian Aborigines to help reduce joint pain, muscle soreness, stiffness, and swelling.

Marigold: This flowering plant has historically been rubbed on affected areas as a remedy for pain, sprains and swelling.

Coriander: Also known as cilantro this fresh-scented herb has proven effective for easing arthritis pain, migraine headaches and relaxing and soothing the nervous system.

Nettle: Many people use the stinging nettle for treating joint pain, sprains and strains. Scientists believe it reduces pain by reducing levels of inflammatory chemicals in the body.

Willow Bark: The active ingredient in willow bark became the focus of research which led to the creation of aspirin. Today, pain sufferers are returning to the natural source to avoid the side effects of synthetic aspirin.
