Everyday aches and pains: 17 natural painkillers to be poked in the kitchen

Running out of Doliprane? Natural substitutes exist. In fact, most of them can be found in our kitchen cupboards. Here is a review of the 17 most effective foods and spices to fight naturally against all kinds of pain.

Did you know that the inside of our kitchen cupboards is at least as interesting as our medicine cabinet to relieve pain and heal small injuries? There are indeed alternatives to Doliprane and aspirin, healthier, non-chemical and often just as effective. Here is a short (but not exhaustive) list of the best natural medicines.

Headaches: coffee, garlic, pepper, mint.

Dental pain: clove.

Muscle and joint pain: cider vinegar, ginger, garlic, turmeric, chilli, cherries.

ENT sphere: garlic, honey, pepper, mint, salt, lemon, baking soda.

Stings and burns: honey, salt, baking soda.

Urinary tract infection/bladder: cranberry.

Digestive disorders: cider vinegar, ginger, tea, lemon, baking soda, yogurt.

Painful periods: flaxseed.

Be careful, these natural alternatives are not a substitute for medical treatment. If the pain persists, consult your doctor.
