Any herb that is a natural anti-inflammatory can help relieve pain. Since most pain is caused by inflammation, using a natural anti-inflammatory could provide relief with no side effects.
Ginger root can be a very effective natural anti-inflammatory. You will need to take more of this to get relief than you would bromelain, for example, but in a pinch it works. It also improves your digestion.
Turmeric or curcumin is in the same family as ginger root. Curcumin is an extract of turmeric spice. It is a natural anti-inflammatory and is also believed to treat fatty liver. Many people have livers clogged with fat and do not know it. This is a multi-purpose herb.
