In this current work
Babalawo Obanifa will document one of the simple herbal formula available in
the field of Africa Herbal Medicine that can be use for effective treatment of
body pain. The nomenclature for body pain in Yoruba herbal medicine parlance is
known as Ara wiwo/Ara riro. Before I document this formula. I will first adopt
the expert Information by Excedrin expert on body pain and how it can be prevent or treat. According
to the aforementioned source, Pain is an unpleasant sensation in the body that is triggered by
the nervous system. The onset of body pain can occur suddenly or slowly,
depending on many factors, (e.g. environmental, biological, emotional,
cognitive, etc.) Each individual is the best judge of the severity and
frequency of his or her body pain.
Types of Body Pain & Causes of Body Pain
There
are generally two types of body pain: acute pain and chronic pain.
Acute
body pain
Acute
body pain results from an illness or event, such as injury or surgery. It
generally occurs suddenly, then gradually diminishes or stops on its own or
with medical treatment. Acute pain can range from mild to severe, and may last
for weeks or months. If treated properly, acute body pain will subside within
six months. If left untreated, acute pain may lead to chronic pain.
Chronic
body pain
Chronic
body pain is pain that persists over time and may have no apparent cause, even
after an injury has healed or an illness has subsided. Chronic pain can persist
for weeks or even years. Sufferers of chronic pain may find it debilitating,
resulting in loss of sleep and inability to function normally.
Important:
If you or someone you know suffers from acute or chronic body pain, make sure
to see a medical professional for diagnosis and treatment options. Medication
should be used as directed.
How
common is back pain?
According
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, back pain is second only to
headache as the most common medical complaint in the United States, and is the
second leading cause of missed workdays. Each year, 80% of adults below age 50
experience back pain at least once, and the majority will have multiple
occurrences. Back injury is the number one occupational hazard in the U.S.
Back
or body pain can have any of a number of causes
In
addition to causing acute pain, some of these things can also cause more
serious back injuries that require medical attention. Causes include ligament
or muscle strains or sprains, muscle spasms, or arthritic or swollen joints.
Things
that can cause strains, sprains, or spasms include:
Poor
posture
Poor
physical condition
Using
muscles, ligaments, or joints for activities for which they're not conditioned
or of which they're not capable
Excessive
or improper lifting
Sudden
awkward movements, like lifting or twisting too quickly
Overly
strenuous physical activities
Degeneration
of the spine, which often occurs with aging, can contribute to lower back pain,
and may often lead to more serious conditions such as spondylosis (arthritis of
the spine) or spinal stenosis (narrowing of the space around the spinal cord
and nerve roots due to arthritis and bone overgrowth). If you think you may be
suffering from more severe back pain, talk to your doctor.
Preventing back and body pain — you can find pain relief
Back
and body pain may be reduced or prevented by eating a proper diet, managing
weight, and increasing muscle flexibility and strength through exercise and
physical conditioning. Even low-impact physical activities, such as walking or
swimming, may help prevent body pain by increasing strength, flexibility, and
endurance.
Some
tips to promote back and body health and help prevent body pain:
Maintain
good posture when sitting and standing
Use
your legs to lift heavy objects
Carry
heavy objects close to your body, and turn with your legs and not your waist to
change direction
Maintain
a healthy body weight. Excess weight can tax the body's muscles, especially the
back muscles
Sleep
on your side with bent knees. Consult your doctor about how firm your mattress
should be
Acute
back or body pain usually stops on its own or with body pain treatment.
Treating
back and body pain — some suggestions:
Get
plenty of rest, but don't stop moving. Especially with back pain, prolonged bed
rest can actually make the condition worse. Generally, light activity can help
treat body pain.
Cold/heat
treatment — apply ice or a cold compress to the affected area for 15-20 minutes
several times a day until spasms and acute body pain subsides. Then apply warm,
moist heat (such as hot compresses or warm baths) to loosen tight muscles
Pain
relievers — over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or aspirin
can be effective body pain treatments for individuals with back and body pain.
