NATURAL Duo Tackles Pain and Inflammation
Mainstream medicine would like you to believe they’re the only ones who have answers for how to relieve your pain.
The only problem is their answers are terrible.
Their so-called “solutions” include NSAIDs, antidepressants, narcotics, steroid injections, and surgery. And they ALL come with their own set of problems that are as bad or worse than the pain they’re designed to “treat.”
But Nature has its own answers—and none of them come with a “catch.”
In fact, research reveals a combination of two safe, natural pain relievers works just as well as a popular NSAID.
Natural anti-inflammatories turmeric and ginger deliver powerful pain relief without the risks of mainstream solutions.
Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin that’s been widely studied for its anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving properties.
Studies show that curcumin can reduce inflammation in cases of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Plus, it can alleviate pain and inflammation in multiple types of arthritis.
Curcumin can even help shorten the duration of colds and improve metabolic syndrome.
Ginger is equally as impressive. This spice contains more than 100 active compounds that contribute to its wide array of benefits.
One astonishing study revealed that ginger could help reduce pain in conditions ranging from osteoarthritis and low back pain to migraines and menstrual cramps.
Plus, the spice has the added benefits of reducing seasonal allergy symptoms and improving blood sugar.
So, what happens when you COMBINE these two powerhouses?
You get twice the pain-relieving power!
A recent study gave patients with knee osteoarthritis a combination of turmeric extract, ginger, and black pepper, or the NSAID Naproxen.
This supplement combo worked just as well as Naproxen to reduce painful inflammation!
And because these nutrients also function as antioxidants, they could also help reduce the oxidative stress associated with chronic pain.
Interestingly, a recent animal study showed that turmeric and ginger had a synergistic effect against inflammation. This means they work better together than separately.
You can take supplements like these separately or in formulations that combine them.
Just make sure they also contain piperine, a pepper extract that helps your body absorb curcumin better.
Also, if you’re taking medications like anticoagulants, anti-diabetic meds, or blood pressure drugs, talk to your doctor before adding the supplements to your regular routine.
