Natural Relief for Fibromyalgia Pain

Many people with fibromyalgia are using natural means to find relief for their pain. The following are some remedies you can test out in your home.

Specific high-grade essential oils bring relief. Lavender is used for relaxation. Peppermint helps to dull the aches. Marjoram and basil mixed with massage oil is helpful for spasms and aches. Chiropractic and massage methods are also used to bring relief for the aches and cramps.

It is especially important to drink plenty of water upon rising. Colloidal minerals help the body to function correctly, so this helps lessen both the aches and the fatigue. Fish oils, Co-q 10, Sam-e, ginko, ribose and chlorella are also beneficial.

There is a fibromyalgia diet. This consists of food high in antioxidants and low in fats. This combination works to maximize alertness and energy levels while minimizing fatigue and depression. This combination also helps your immune system and keeps your cardiovascular system healthy. Juicing is also part of this diet. The foods to eat are vegetables and carrot juice, fruits and foods with omega-3's. The foods to avoid are alcohol, white sugar, white flour, sugar substitutes, coffee, chocolate, red meat, carbonated beverages, tobacco, dairy, and fried foods.

Food allergies can also trigger fibromyalgia attacks. Discover your own food sensitivities by maintaining a food diary. Write down the foods you eat and your reactions to them. A pattern will develop in a few weeks. The old adage " You are what you eat" is applicable.
