Have you ever noticed that doing little mini-experiments on yourself is a great way to discover more about your health and how your body functions?

For example, I have been in a lot of pain for the past 4 hours; it’s my neck that is hurting and it is now 7:45 p.m. My neck hurts because of old injuries to it in car accidents, compounded by too much desk work. With so much pain, I believe it is time for a little mini experiment.

It’s too late to go to the chiropractor and too late to get a massage. Do you ever have days like this? Days where you just want to scream and say, “Can’t someone take this pain away?”

Complaining Does Not Help: Only a Pain Relief Solution Will Work

My pain and circumstances could be a lot worse. I could be just like some people with so much pain so much of the time that they have to smoke marijuana to stop the pain. That must be tough because then they have to buy enough of it to have around in their times of need, making them potential crime victims. With new recipes, it’s possible now to get a high enough dose from eating a laced lollipop or brownie or even cup of tea. This option isn’t for me although it certainly can work for others.

There have been some pain relief methods that worked for me in the past. Using gravity boots eliminates muscle strain and seems to attack the source of the pain. The neck pain can go from excruciating to no pain at all in about 2 minutes with this method. The problem is getting to the upside down position without trauma; it’s not easy to get into the upside down position. If someone was acrobatically inclined, it may be easier for them.

Another method that has worked in the past is taking 1200 IU all at once; something not recommended for those who tend to have high blood pressure. Using this method, the pain is reduced in about two hours. The reason why it works is because vitamin E is crucial for muscle function; this vitamin is used successfully for those with muscular dystrophy as well as other muscle problems.

Tending to be dehydrated, I notice that drinking more water is pretty helpful. The dose that works for me is 4 cups or 32 ounces, which reduces the pain in my neck.

A whole body vibration machine called the K1 machine also has helped the neck pain. This is a type of exercise equipment that vibrates the body at a certain level of Hertz. In studies, the whole body vibration machine has been shown to increase endorphins that calm down the pain sensations and replace them with relaxed calmness. The amount of time investment is only 10 minutes. After the K1 machine shuts itself off, the pain is gone.

Where Would We Be Without Friends?

Friends send me new neck pain relief methods all the time. I had reserved one friend’s supplement for a time of excruciating pain so that I could see its true benefits. Cancer patients used this particular one; they have pain worse than I do. Cancer pain can go on for years after cancer treatments. My friend’s husband had used this method to decrease the pain of a herniated disk in his neck. Something good enough for cancer patients was good enough for me to try. I turned on the burner with the tea kettle at 7:50 p.m. and now the experiment had begun.

Boiling water is poured on top of the supplement powder in a coffee cup. Now, it’s a matter of waiting for the ‘tea’ to cool.

It’s 8:00 p.m. now and I’m ready to drink the drink. You may be wondering about the taste. It’s not bad-tasting and it’s not sweet. I’d rate it as neutral and don’t think anyone would gag on it at all. I drink it down and wait to see what is happening to my neck pain.

8:03 p.m. My pain is still excruciating. No change.

8:04 p.m. Pain is getting lighter. This is interesting.

8:06 p.m. My neck does not hurt anymore! This is very strange. I went from pain to no pain in minutes. Well, I better wait; it’s possible that the results are temporary.

8:25 p.m. My neck still feels wonderful – without pain. I can turn it every direction without pain. I remember what it was like now not to have pain. It’s time to see the list of ingredients.

The list of ingredients is long: Red Peony, White Peony, Red Sage, Astragalus, Stevia (for sweetening), Cyperus, Circuma rhizome, Lotus Node, Hawthorn fruit Cnidium, Notoginseng, Licorice Root and Codonopsis. All these ingredients are herbs, many of them are Chinese herbs. There is no sugar. No grains. No drugs or chemicals. No artificial Red # blank. No dairy products. No soy. No preservatives either. This is a totally natural product that many people would approve of.

And it worked for me.

Those cancer patients really had a secret there that they weren’t sharing with anyone else. They knew how to stop excruciating pain with a simple cup of herbal tea.

I asked my friend who else she had told about this. She said other people who had intractable pain, shingles, tooth pain (before they got to the dentist), back pain, and headaches. I mentioned we should add neck muscle pain to the list.

The neck pain relief lasted 25 hours, then came back but was only minor on the 1-10 pain scale. I visited my chiropractor for an adjustment. Then the neck pain relief lasted another four days.

There are alternative methods of neck pain relief out there. Sometimes we just have to explore a little.
