Relief From Fibromyalgia Pain - 3 Natural Remedies

There are various natural remedies to get relief from fibromyalgia pain that do not require using prescription drugs.

Fibromyalgia pain is characterized by widespread pain and stiffness anywhere in the body. The pain can be anything from a dull type of pain to sharp and intense. The pain can be in joints, muscles, tendons, or even one's face. The tender painful places (sensitive to touch) are referred to as tender point pain.

One proven method to lessen pain from fibromyalgia is to engage in mild weight training.
A study was done at Harvard University with a group of women who began resistance training in a pool then did exercises with their own body weight and light hand weights for 20 weeks. At the end of the 20 weeks, the women reported feeling less symptoms of pain, stiffness, fatigue and depression as well as being more flexible and having more muscle strength.

Another method is by practicing Tai Chi which is a gentle exercise for fibromyalgia symptoms (or chronic fatigue syndrome). Tai Chi Chuan is a martial art that involves a series of gentle physical movements along with breathing techniques to achieve a meditative state. Tai Chi Chuan can help one relieve stress, increase circulation, and increase one's energy. You can buy a tai chi video so that you can pace yourself. This way you never have to worry about being rushed by an instructor to complete a series of tai chi movements.

Yet another method for relief of fibromyalgia pain is to take Omega 3 Fish Oil capsules. Many people have reported feeling relief of joint pain and inflammation from fibromyalgia by taking this beneficial oil. It also has been reported by people to relieve depression symptoms and lessen their need for blood thinning drugs.
