Living Life Pain Free – Naturally
How many of us wake up each day and have to negotiate through pain. Be it muscular or joint pain, arthritic type pain, migraines or headaches, back pain or general body ache. How many of us go through the motions of either trying to ignore such issues. Some visit a pharmacy for pain relief medication. Enter the pharmacy and you are bombarded with shelves full of such medications. Some work, and some do not. For those that do not, you are back to square one.
The National Rural Health Alliance in their fact sheet had this to say of Chronic Pain – “One in five Australians live with chronic pain. This prevalence rises to one in three people over age 65 and is projected to increase as Australia’s population ages – from around 3.2 million in total in 2007 to 5 million by 2050. Women over age 45 experience chronic pain consistently more than men. Chronic pain is Australia’s third most costly health condition after cardiovascular diseases and musculoskeletal conditions, which also have strong connections to chronic pain. Back pain and arthritis – both associated with chronic pain – are the most common causes for people aged 45-64 to drop out of the workforce, accounting for 40 percent of forced retirements.”
At the same time, individuals are now even more aware of the possible side effects of ingested pain medication. Recent news reports are suggesting that due to its misuse or over-dependency, all codeine based medication could become prescription only in 2016. Another article stated “Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), a class of drugs that provides analgesic (pain-killing) and antipyretic (fever-reducing) effects, pose higher risk of heart attacks, which can occur as early as the first week of using these medicines and the risk increases with longer use or higher doses of such drugs, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has said, basing its findings on a comprehensive review over last 10 years.” Issues such as these are turning more people towards natural therapies, traditional practice and topical treatments.
One such product borne out of traditional medicine is Ortho Rub. An Australian Made product, all natural and TGA approved, which is a basic combination of various essential and therapeutic grade oils, consisting of the main active ingredients of the of peppermint and orange. Clinical studies and tests conducted on the specific active substances or its derivatives highlight the effectiveness of the individual properties. Anecdotal evidence points to the relief of Ortho Rub wherever there is pain in the muscle or joint. Individuals across Australia and elsewhere have been applying this all natural product for pain relating to their shoulders, back, knees and other areas, and within a short time, have provided amazing testimonials proving its effectiveness in natural pain relief. A number of sportsmen including an International Badminton player and a former Golf Champion of Australia have provided positive feedback. However this is best summed up by a testimonial from Lisa Brat, author actor writer and Ambassador of the Arthritis Association who said: “At times the pain is more than I can handle, but I’m so thankful to Ortho Rub for reducing the inflammation and removing the pain in the knee and shoulder. Best of all, its convenient size makes it easy to carry around while I’m on the go. The natural oils are an added bonus and smell fabulous.”
Ortho Rub is now available over 80 retail outlets in Australia.
