(Headaches induced by stressful situations or muscle tension cannot be treated with this particular herb, only true migraines.) Wild ginger can be used to alleviate head pain, while the versatile dong quai soothes muscle tissue. After a workout, dong quai can be taken along with either ginger or mint. Only small amounts of ginger should be taken at a time, though, and one should be especially careful on hot days, because ginger has a warming effect. Mint, on the other hand, is cooling.
White willow bark can be useful in alleviating headache pain. Aspirin, a product that most of us are familiar with, is actually a derivative of an ingredient in white willow bark, salicylic acid. Natural sources of this compound, though, are safer than the synthetic versions prevalent in most stores because their potency is lower. Several grams of white willow bark are required to obtain an aspirin like effect.
• For Stomach Pain … Mint is used for stomach pain and is often paired with either slippery elm or licorice root. Also, the Chinese herb corydalis can be applied to a wide variety of pains, including uterine and stomach pain. For stomach pain, as for other types, a health care professional should be consulted.
• For Urinary Tract Infections … Pain from urinary tract infections is typically treated with herbs that contain the alkaloid berberine.

Since coptis is so powerful, the soothing effects of marshmallow are frequently employed after its consumption.

Kava kava, which can be found on Fiji and several other South Pacific islands, is especially effective in combating chronic pain because of its ability to bind to nerve receptor sites and numb the brains perception of pain. The effects of kava kava mimic those of drugs, without the addictive element. This relatively safe herb can also promote relaxation and reduce anxiety.
Additional herbs that can aid the treatment of chronic pain include wood betony and rosemary Wood betony, which has been used for centuries by folk healers, can also serve as a sedative and a carminative, and is a useful remedy for diarrhea and severe cases of gout. Rosemary, which many know as a culinary herb, has strong analgesic qualities and is particularly beneficial when used as a massage oil for muscle aches or headaches. Rosemary oil is commonly paired with a diffusing agent, usually either almond or olive oil.

The recommended dosage of curcumin is 1,200 mg daily.
