Say no to pain killers.

Nimesulide is a well known non steroidal anti inflammatory drug or to be simply put a pain killer drug used to supress the pain which has recently been banned for medical usage taking into concern its side effects. Pain , there are two types of pain, one caused by release of pain causing chemicals in response to internal or external painful stimuli. The other is altered perception of pain by the nociceptive receptors. Pain in any case is subjective that is it depends on the mental state of the patient and pain sensation does not last for a life time. The other factor supporting the withdrawal of pain killing drugs from the market is that our body itself has opoids and encephalins that act as natural analgesics. Acupuncture reduces pain by this process of releasing opoids encephalins and prostaglandins. The major failure attributed to pain killers is it does not cure a disease as pain is not a disease as such !
So resorting to alternative treatments for pain relief must be the next go for chronic pain sufferers. Ayurveda has a wide range of treatments for pain releif through a procedure of heat and medicated oil called as kizhi or medicene bolus and pizhichil or pressing the cloth dipped in oil and pouring it over entire body. But such trtmnts must be done under the guidance of a physician.
