Turmeric: Containing a compound called ‘curcumin’ which has pain-relieving qualities, turmeric is used to ease swelling and reduce pain and inflammation.
Ginger: While ginger powder is proven to be effective in controlling post-operative pain, it’s also used to reduce exercise-related inflammation and muscle pain.
Chilli peppers: Capsaicin present in chilli peppers is used for pain relief, and to improve sleep, fatigue, and depression. It can be used by applying it topically or incorporating it into the diet.
Lavender essential oil: This oil is inhaled or applied topically to decrease the pain naturally.
