For many people, pain and stress are common occurrences. They can manifest in a number of ways, and often, one contributes to the other. While over-the-counter drugs can be a good way to relieve symptoms of both pain and stress, there are a number of great at-home remedies and recipes that may help.
Hot Milk and Turmeric Latte
Turmeric has been used for its medicinal properties for many, many years. It contains a bioactive ingredient called curcumin, which has many anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Once introduced into your body, turmeric and curcumin can have many beneficial side effects. The natural anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric mean that it can be very helpful with pain and inflammation. It can also have anti-spasmodic properties, which have been known to help with cramping during menstruation.
A nice way to add turmeric into your diet is with hot milk (or a no dairy alternative). You just need to heat them up together. It is important to add a little bit of black pepper to the recipe as this helps the body digest the curcumin. Another addition that can make the latte delicious is honey.
Lavender Oil Inhalation
Lavender oil may help relieve pain naturally while also helping with sleep and anxiety. Lavender oil can be used in aromatherapy. All you need to do is add the oil to a carrier oil and put this in a diffuser. Once the oil diffuses into the air, you might notice that it has an effect on your stress levels or helps you drift off into a peaceful sleep. This is a very good natural remedy for anyone suffering from daily stress. Lavender has been known to make a difference with people suffering from anxiety too.
CBD Oil
CBD oil has become popular in recent years; however, the medicinal properties of cannabis have been around for centuries. CBD is a non-psychoactive ingredient in the cannabis plant that has been known to help with anxiety, pain, and stress. The natural interaction of the cannabinoid with the body’s endocannabinoid system can help with how your body responds to pain, sleep, emotion, and appetite. While there has not been much scientific proof in it’s effectiveness, many people use it for chronic pain conditions or arthritic pain. You can use CBD in several ways, from oils to creams to vaping.

Many people like to add the three ingredients to a tea when they have a cold or sore throat. This is because the honey can soothe a sore, scratchy throat, while ginger and lemon help clear sinuses and speed up recovery due to anti-inflammation.
