From the blog: "If you are suffering from a backache, toothache or any other type of pain anywhere, your first instinct is to find a pain pill like ibuprofen so you can get rid of it. These days, most of us rely on medications, but the fact is that in some cases, these may not be effective. Even if they are, these pharmaceuticals carry the risk of drug interactions, side effects and there is also the possibility of you getting addicted to them. Rather than using these dangerous medicines, it is possible for you to find pain relief naturally. There are a variety of spices and herbs that can treat inflammation and other conditions."
