We have all had pain of one kind or another, and for the most part, we do not enjoy it one bit.
We strive to make the pain go away, whether that is with heating pads, ice, pharmaceutical drugs, chiropractic adjustments or other therapies.
We will spend great sums of money and travel great distances to find a way to end pain.
Natural Alternatives for Pain Relief
We are urgently in need of a way to treat pain and inflammation that is both safe and powerful. It can even save lives. That is why the emerging research on effective botanical interventions is so important.

Reduce Inflammation with Curcumin
Curcumin is a concentrated extract of the spice turmeric. For relieving most types of pain, addressing inflammation is key, and curcumin may be the most effective natural anti-inflammatory in the world.
Rather than mask the pain signal, or drive down inflammation artificially, curcumin actually modulates inflammation, and reduces pain with relatively little risk. It also does what these drugs cannot do: it boosts the healing of the underlying cause of pain.
Unfortunately, curcumin is hard to absorb. There is a patented, clinically studied enhanced absorption curcumin that uses turmeric essential oil, rich in ar-turmerone. It has been shown to reduce both pain and inflammation in both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, performing as well as drugs. There are also other formulas with enhanced absorption.

Boswellia for Arthritis Pain
The perfect companion to curcumin is the ancient herb, boswellia, sometimes known as frankincense. In fact, the combination of curcumin, turmeric essential oil, and a standardized high-AKBA boswellia was shown to stop arthritis pain as effectively as the prescription drug celecoxib, with better reductions in pain and greater increases in walking distances. And unlike celecoxib, known for adverse effects that include increased risk of heart attack and stroke, the herbal group saw no serious side effects at all and was very well tolerated
Herbal Combinations for Better Pain Relief
While all these interventions on their own are very useful, for serious pain relief, the combination is best.
Pairing a clinically studied, powerful curcumin- and boswellia-based product with a premium European hemp oil addresses pain in two ways: reducing inflammation and activating the endocannabinoid system.
These products are fine on their own, but even better together, and can relieve pain while addressing the underlying problem that is causing the pain in the first place.
