When Aging is a Pain in the Neck

Last updated on January 12th, 2024 at 02:15 pm

Pain is a natural part of the human experience, especially as we age. Wear and tear occur over time as the cartilage that cushions our joints can deteriorate. Our maturing muscles are also prone to other nuisances like cramps, spasms, and strains.

In the never-ending quest for new ways to treat pain, researchers have found that Virtual Reality (VR) can help make people of all ages more comfortable. Immersive experiences available on VR headsets like yoga, meditation, and nature walks are currently being studied to see how effective they are at managing our perception of pain.

Fortunately, traditional therapies like homeopathy can offer help right now. There is an array of homeopathic options to relieve your individual symptoms of pain or discomfort without causing drowsiness or drug interactions. Some of the more popular single medicines for pain include:

Arnica montana 30C

relieves pain, bruising, and swelling associated with injury or overexertion.*

Cuprum metallicum 6C

relieves painful spasms and cramps occurring suddenly, such as hiccups, calf cramps, and colic.*

Ruta graveolens 6C

relieves strained ligaments and tendons.*

Rhus tox 6C

relieves muscular and articular pains at the beginning of motion, then improved by slow motion.*

Zincum metallicum 6C

relieves fidgety, restless legs, especially after drinking wine or spirits.*
