  1. It is very common to pop a pain-relieving medicine even for a slight headache. According to the studies, about 30 million Americans take drugs every day for a range of pain related problems such as headaches, muscle cramps, chronic arthritis, etc. Most of us, even for mild pain, take non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs ignoring the side-effects of them. The overuse of these drugs could have a negative impact on the health. Some of them may cause kidney problems, bleeding in the stomach, ulcers, strokes, heart attack, and many other health complications. However to overcome pain, instead of pain killers, natural pain killers could be used to overcome pain. Some of the natural pain killers are given below:

  7. There's also peppers! The Capsicum inside of them is what makes them hot, and its been proven as a reliable pain killer. The more Capsicum, the hotter the pepper. Plus, your mouth will burn so bad, you'll just forget about whatever else there was going on.
