The economic crisis sharpens physical pains
Congestion of the intestine and bladder, muscle or joint pain, recurrent headache, widespread sense of exhaustion and difficulty in resting, insomnia. Is it all the fault of the crisis? In part it can be. Let's find out what are the mechanisms that, by undermining our psychological well-being, lead us to suffer the catastrophe of our body in the same way that we fear that of the system.
One of the issues addressed in the 14th World Congress on Pain was precisely "crisis pain". Yes, because in this period of economic difficulties and uncertainties, it is not just the wallet that suffers, often even physical and mental health. Psychological disorders seem to influence and convert into physical pains, which weaken and make the body suffer and which should not be underestimated. Among the various symptoms, of which it seems to be especially women aged 35 to 50 years to suffer from it, are continuous stress, anxiety and a sense of insecurity. Thus the perception of physical pain is also altered. In recent times, cases of chronic bowel and bladder congestion, muscular suffering, headaches , a widespread sense of exhaustion and difficulty sleeping and sleeping well are increasing considerably. It is precisely physical stress that triggers the onset of pain, pain that can sometimes be disabling, lead to colitis, cystitis, ulcer or fibromyalgia, or a chronic pain that affects different muscular and articular parts, from the neck to the elbows, to the knees.

Anti-inflammatories and opiates are the most used drugs to fight pain, along with antidepressants. But it is not only the medicines that come to meet us, herbs, roots and seeds can be an effective dispensation and be excellent natural cures to reduce psycho-physical stress. Here therefore that the pains from crisis can be fought with the claw of the devil or the arnica, in the case of muscular or articular pains for example. Or making use of chamomile, lemon balm, wild fennel and winter savory to relieve stomach pains and relax the abdomen. If you have pain anywhere, or suffer from fibromyalgia, you can try grape seed extract, ginko biloba, white willow bark, St. John's wort . And more grapefruit, fennel, cumin seeds against cystitis. Turmeric, calendula and fenugreek, among the possible allies of the stomach in fighting the feared ulcers. In short, any illness or pain conditioned by crisis stress has its natural remedy at hand.
