8 REMEDIES THAT HELP HEAL MINOR INJURIES S
ummer brings out weekend warriors in force. And although exercising outside benefits body and soul, injuries can cloud this otherwise sunny scenario. When suffering from a strain, scrape, or muscle soreness, most people reach for a pain-reducing drug. NSAIDs and other
pain relievers do offer short-term relief, but you can do better: Several natural supplements ease injury-related inflammation and pain while accelerating healing. For instance, when the Danish Olympic team gave essential fatty acids and low-dose
antioxidants to elite athletes, they found the athletes healed and returned to training more quickly. Taking similar supplements also helped recreational athletes, in a study published in the journal Physical Terapy in Sport. Other research shows these nutrients and herbs can help people who suffer from a broad range of aches and pains, including arthritis. Read on for more information on healing supplements, listed in order of which to try first. ➻
