Myalgia, or muscle pain, is a complaint that can occur in any part of your body or muscles. It can be attributed to items such as overuse or overworking the muscles, tension, injury, or even diseases such as virus, stress, or even chronic diseases such as fibromyalgia. Myalgia can present as a slight or significant soreness and may improve with time without needing the attention of a professional or with medications purchased over the counter. In more severe conditions, then professional help may be called on so that the core cause can be identified and treated.

🔹Pain relievers: If they fear inflammation, generic pain relievers like ibuprofen and paracetamol are over the counter and useful in relieving muscle pain.

From my experience, when my husband had muscular pain, some natural remedies worked really well for him:

🔹Warm compress: I used hot water bag and rested it over the area of discomfort, thus made him to relax his muscles and ease pain.

🔹Epsom salt bath: I gave him warm bath with Epsom salt for him. I really got much relief from this process using 15-20 minutes for my muscle tension and soreness.

🔹Ginger tea: This ginger tea I prepared for him as ginger has been observed to have natural anti inflammatory substance that would help soothe his muscles rigor.

🔹Turmeric: Just incorporating turmeric in his meals sort the problem. It was the turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties that brought improvement.

🔹Massage with essential oils: To those muscles I applied peppermint oil and it was like giving him mint on painful parts of his muscular structure.

These remedies really eased his discomfort and he could walk around without having to depend on drugs alone.
