Are you wondering what, if any, food could help with pain relief in the event of a major disaster?
Foods That Can Help With Pain
Recently, research has found that some natural anti-inflammatory foods, like ginger and olive oil, can reduce inflammation in the body.
These may, in turn, help to prevent or lessen physical discomfort. Whether you’re looking to begin distancing yourself from over-the-counter medicines or want the peace of mind of knowing what to do if push comes to shove, here are the natural pain relievers you’ll want to have on hand.
Ginger
This root is well-known for its power to fight stomach aches and nausea—and can even benefit individuals with arthritis.
Blueberries and Strawberries
These berries are high in phytonutrients, which have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects.
Salmon, Tuna, Mackerel, and Sardines
These fish contain high levels of Omega 3 fatty acids, which lower inflammation in the body. Eating serves of these fish two to four times a week can help prevent pain.
Olive Oil
This all-purpose oil contains oleocanthal, which acts similarly to over-the-counter drugs such as ibuprofen or aspirin.
Hot Chili Peppers
The capsaicin in chili peppers can relieve some types of pain.
Fresh Pineapple, Pumpkin Seeds, Turmeric, Mint, and Red Wine
These foods are also known to have anti-inflammatory properties.
Now that you know these natural pain relievers, why not grow a few in a survival garden? Imagine the sense of security in knowing you can utilize these natural solutions if anyone in your family is ever in pain.
Whether you’re prepping for a disaster or just interested in natural alternatives for pain relief, these foods could help keep you safe in a TEOTWAWKI situation.
