----------------------------------- 3 Holistic Pain Remedies -----------------------------------
Our pet's experience pain for many of the same reasons we do- commonly it can be from aggravated arthritis. My 2 older dogs, Lewis and Jessie, both can have flare ups and sore joints after running. Here are some of the remedies I use:
Using cold and heat as a compress; the type of compress depends upon the injury. For a sudden injury accompanied by inflammation, ice is helpful. Apply a block of frozen ice wrapped in a towel for 15 minutes 2-3 times daily for 2 days. Some clients finding using frozen ice in a popsicle stick works well, or the synthetic bags for people. When the injury is more long-term, then applying heat is more appropriate. Wrap a hot water bottle in a towel and apply it 2-3 times a day for 15 minutes to the affected area.
Capsaicin is the active ingredient in chili peppers that makes them hot. Capsaicin is used in medicated creams and lotions to relieve muscle or joint pain. Capsaicin used on the body causes a sensation of heat that activates certain nerve cells. With regular use of capsaicin, this heating effect reduces the amount of substance P, a chemical that acts as a pain messenger in the body. It can be used topically for local painful joints for both dogs and cats.
Ginger extract may help with joint and muscle pain because it contains phytochemicals, which help stop inflammation. Few side effects have been linked to ginger when taken in small doses. Fresh ginger works well steeped in boiling water as a tea or grated into vegetable juice.
