Medication is the simplest easiest thing we can use to effectively relieve pain. However, it has its downsides. It can be expensive, have side effects and cause dependency. So, if you would like to try another way and I’m guessing if you are reading this post then you would. Read on to learn how to relieve pain naturally.

Endorphins

Endorphins are chemical hormones produced by the body as a response to certain stimuli, especially stress, fear or pain. They originate in various parts of your body, the pituitary gland, your spinal cord and throughout other parts of your brain and nervous system. They interact mainly with receptors in cells found in regions of the brain responsible for blocking pain and controlling emotion. But they also induce feelings of pleasure and euphoria.

The body produces endorphins to relieve pain, and they can rival the pain relief brought on by medications. They block pain signals before they reach your brain, and can also help alleviate anxiety, stress, and depression.

Painkillers work by blocking pain messages in your brain and spinal cord. Endorphins naturally block pain by binding to opioid receptors in the spinal cord and other parts of the nervous system.

The good news is that endorphins can also be raised naturally. So, read on to learn how to relieve pain naturally.
