Pain relievers and muscle relaxers have a long history.  Essentially, the extreme muscle relaxants are used to cause a kind of paralysis.  They are neuromuscular blockers that are often used for emergency medicine and in surgical procedures.  Obviously, these are something we would best come across only under a doctor’s care.

The more commonly used pain relieving muscle relaxers are called spasmolytics and are known as centrally acting muscle relaxants for alleviating pain and spasms.  Spasmolytics are often prescribed by physicians for lower back pain, tension headaches or neck pain.  However, there is no great evidence showing that one drug is better than the other, while all of them have side effects like dizziness or drowsiness.  Therefore, safety could be a concern.

Knowing this information led me to seek out an all natural answer for my pulled or strained muscles from exercising.  Several people in my workout group now use the same muscle relaxers I do and one of my buddies has found them effective for his back spasms.   Two of the women in the group have found them to be great relief for pms symptoms.    These are not drugs but natural supplements and the best part is that there’s no known side effects.   So, for me, organic and natural is clearly the safest way to
go and highly effective, especially when you really don’t want to medicate but truly need your body to just relax!
