Beauty & Pain Do Not Mix

Sunday, September 01, 2013

When I'm in pain, I tend not to care so much about my appearance. We all know that pain shows on our faces. What can we do when we have that big presentation to make, a tight deadline to meet or that new job interview. I'm not a person who likes to take prescription pain medication. I do not like the way it makes me feel, even if it dulls the pain. So, I look for natural ways to handle pain.

Several ladies in my Senior Adult Ladies Sunday School class suffer from arthritis, but I understand that arthritis hits all age groups. We recently purchased a book called "The Kitchen Table Book" with over 1400 kitchen cures for just about every health problem. In the book it states that tart red cherry juice is 10 times more effective than aspirin on fighting the pain and inflammation caused by arthritis, without the side effects. Fresh or dried cherries work too. According to the book, one dried cherry equals about eight fresh ones. Dried cherries added to cereal or a salad would be tasty and healthy.

One of the ladies in that Sunday school class purchased Avon's Foot Works Healthy Arthritis Achy Foot & Muscle Cream a few weeks ago. She has had great results and less foot pain. It is on sale now for only $3.99. Read about it on my website: http://jsanders6228.avonrepresentative.com/.
