A great way to naturally ease back pain is to find a topical pain relief lotion that contains ingredients including Arnica, Aloe Vera, Menthol, Capsicum, Emu Oil, Willow Bark, Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, and so on. Ingredients such as these absorb into the skin and provide relief from pain and are viable sources to reduce inflammation, both of which are key factors for helping you manage your back pain. It is important to find a topical product that has low amounts of menthol because concentration greater than 3% have potential health risks of skin burns and an increase in Substance P. In comparison to over-the-counter NonSteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), topical products provide relief without all the scary risks that accompany NSAIDs. Even short term use of NSAIDs has been known to raise risks of kidney failure, high blood pressure, heart problems, stomach issues such as bleeding and ulcers, and to cause fluid retention in ankles, feet, legs, and hands.
