Some herbs work less by reducing inflammation itself and more by supporting the body\u2019s ability to respond to inflammation healthily. It\u2019s similar to how putting good, clean gas in your vehicle can help it run more efficiently. When the body has what it needs to function at optimal levels, it is better equipped to deal with and overcome issues or conditions that can contribute to inflammation and pain.<\/p>\n

Research-Based Ingredient Benefits<\/h3>\n
Several studies have connected these ingredients with a positive inflammatory response and, thus, a reduction in pain.<\/p>\n
Devil’s Claw and White Willow Bark<\/h3>\n
For example, in January of 2016, the journal SPINE<\/em> published a review of 14 randomized controlled trials involving patients with low back pain. While more studies need to be conducted to better understand the connection, the researchers noted that devil\u2019s claw and white willow bark reduced pain in this area of the body more than a placebo or sham treatment.

Turmeric<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\nA 2021 review found similar results for turmeric, specifically with knee osteoarthritis. This review included 10 studies, all of which showed that patients had an improvement in both pain and function after taking a turmeric or curcumin supplement. (2<\/a>)<\/p>\n
Ginger<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\nOther studies have connected ginger with reduced pain, such as one which noted that athletes taking this supplement for six weeks had reduced muscle soreness when compared to a placebo. (3<\/a>) Research published in Advances in Food Technology and Nutritional Sciences<\/em> explains that this herb helps ease inflammation that co-occurs with several chronic inflammatory conditions, at least in part by reducing inflammatory mediators.

Boswellia Serrata<\/em><\/h3>\n
![\"Boswellia](\"https:\/\/www.naturalwellness.com\/nwupdate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Boswellia-serrata-is-in-Pain-Relief-Complex.jpg\")
<\/p>\nBoswellia serrata<\/em>, also known as frankincense, has been found to reduce pain as well. As an example, one study noted that patients experiencing severe and debilitating cluster headaches reduced the intensity of their head pain and headache frequency after taking oral Boswellia serrata<\/em>.

Who Might Benefit from Pain Relief Complex<\/h3>\n
The studies above link the ingredients in Pain Relief Complex with the relief of a variety of pains. Several were related to joint pain, but other types of pain as well, such as headaches and muscle pain.<\/p>\n
Pain Relief Complex is different from many other natural pain-relieving supplements in that all the herbs within it are plant-based. (It doesn\u2019t contain glucosamine or other ingredients derived from animals.) That makes this supplement an option for people following a vegetarian diet.<\/p>\n
Pain Relief Complex also contains no sugar, dairy, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, preservatives, artificial colors, or flavors. If you need to avoid any of these substances, such as if you have an allergy or are sensitive to them, this product offers that ability.<\/p>\n
