Finding natural pain relief for fibromyalgia isn't easy because what helps one person may not necessarily help another. However, there are a few remedies anyone can try to reduce the pain and discomfort.
A diet with plenty of protein, fruits and vegetables, and low in carbs can also help to relieve fibromyalgia pain. Sugar needs to be avoided as it depresses the immune system. Also caffeine and alcohol can make symptoms worse.
A medical professional can help you find a regular relaxing exercise routine that is right for you. The exercise assists with blood flow, which can help you to sleep better, as this is a common problem with fibromyalgia.
Heating pads can provide relief and also can loosen up sore muscles and joints, particularly during a flare up. There are many different types available today and even some you can wear under your clothes that can be used for several hours.
Topical pain medications which are free of harmful ingredients can be found in health stores. I use a pain reliever cream with emu oil that is good for natural pain relief. Most stores should have a wide variety, so it's a matter of finding out what works the best for you.
Stress is often the culprit when someone has a fibromyalgia flare up. Depending on what is going on in our lives, it may not be possible to avoid stress, but spending time in a quiet place with calming music may help you to completely relax. Some people find meditation helpful as well.
One final strategy for natural pain relief for fibromyalgia is deep tissue massage. This stimulates blood flow in both joints and muscles. This works similar to a heating pad, but many people with fibromyalgia find deeper tissue massage provides much more pain relief. It's important to have someone experienced in dealing with people who have fibro to do the massage.
My friend Shelley Penney, a retired nurse, has written a great ebook about Natural pain relief for fibromyalgia. These are all natural therapies that can end the pain for good.
