Natural Pain Killers In Your Kitchen

By Niharika Choudhary

Contrary to the famous theory, 'No pain no gain', I particularly do not believe in such a theory. No gain can be enjoyed if it brings along with it a ton of pain.

Most of us spend at least one-fourth of our lives in fighting these pains away. By pains, I do not mean any feelings related to the pain - such as heart break, loss, etc.

Through this article, let's focus only on our bodily pains. Yes, the physical pain that can drive our energy out for good! These pains could range from headaches to excruciating arthritic pains.

We humans spend lakhs of money to curb these kinds of pains. At first, we rely on medicines, next we go for massages; and if the pain continues, the doctors further refer us to go for a surgery.

The whole process that started from a small pain snowballs into a big problem that exhausts us physically, mentally and financially.

So, through this article, I don't promise to wipe away all your pains; however, I'll list down some easy home remedies that can help soothe down that pain for sometime.

The best part is that you can grow most of these in your balconies or backyards and use them fresh for best results.
