I helped a friend who was sure (told by foot doctor) she needed surgery for foot pain realize she had tight leg muscles that were referring into her foot. She just every day or 2 takes a few minutes to massage that part of her leg and pain is gone, she can work her job standing full time 5 days/week.
sometimes simple things like drinking more water, eating certain nutrient foods, a little stretching, epsom salt bath, cold packs and such can relieve pain and tiredness.
A relative diagnosed w/ Polymyalgia Rheumatica (causes severe stiffness and pain shoulders and hips and fatigue - initially literally could not move her shoulders or legs to get out of bed and when someone helped her had sever pain) and cannot take usual Rx due to other health issues - she uses combination of epsom salt baths, getting in pool to move around loosen joints, Far infrared heat and cleaned up her diet to avoid foods that cause inflammation and she’s virtually pain free, no OTCs even.
lots of simple healthy ways without any possible negative effects to relieve minor and major pain and tiredness, for a wide variety of situations.
Certainly Epsom salts are very important.
Since we have been drinking (mostly) mountain water, the amount of Americans with magnesium deficiencies has risen dramatically. Most say at least 60%, but some say as much as 90%.
And magnesium is one of the most important minerals you need!
