THERMA CARE heat wraps are excellent relief for backache! They give warmth to the muscles and will last around 10 hours. If you buy them on sale, you can get extras in the box free of charge. Definitely worth the investment, can be worn at night or under clothes during the daytime.

Use a metallised heat-reflecting sheet between the mattress and the bottom sheet of your bed. (Look in your first-aid kit!) This is an easy and effective way to apply extra heat to the back, and works better than electric heating pads and hot water bottles. The heat of course is free, and it's amazing how much of it the body can generate. (Source: oldnaturalremedies.com)

Do you have a backache?

Many people have backache regardless of age, occupation, gender or even rank.
What causing it – you may not know or maybe told about sciatic nerve.
It can be, but that is very rare. Many other different things can be the reason or rather a number of factors together.
The most common is a certain level of kidney dysfunction.
The “people of the land” – in this particular case, in a small village of Hungary – they knew how to deal with it.

The farmer, after a hard day heading home on his carriage, turned aside to a beautiful creek. Among large trees and lush green shrubs, there grew the humble “weed” horsetail. He picked a bagful of it and took it home. His wife put it in a large vessel, full with water. After slow simmering a little while it was pored into a basin or a drum and the whole family took turns, soaking in it twenty to thirty minutes. They made it as it was bearable and after that wrapped in a towel, jumped into bad. Sometimes they soaked the horsetail in water for a day before boiling it up. These people used this remedy, what was handed down from generation to generation. That kept them going in their hard work for weeks, maybe months after one of these baths.

What these people instinctively did, science proved it to be a very potent “folk remedy”.
Horsetail (Equisentum arvense). Research found that it is a great tonic for kidney and the whole urinary tract. Helping with water retention and numerous debilitating ailments of the lungs, circulatory system, liver and the list goes on.

There is a cure for everything; you just have to find it.
More food for thought you will find in my e-books on: www.secret-folkmedicine

My chiropractor told me that back pain means inflammation and the best treatment is an ice pack. I go to bed with one wrapped in a towel and usually fall asleep on it and wake up feeling much better. Another of his suggestions was to lie on a tennis ball where you think it hurts. You can move the tennis ball around as needed and it DOES hurt for awhile, but then the pain wanes and you get relief. I was skeptical too at first, but it works for my back pains. The trick is to find the right spot so move it frequently. A good way to stretch the lower back is to put your leg on something waist high (I use my dining room table or the bathroom counter top) and gently stretch in both directions. This works wonders as well!

Try Yoga cat thrusts where you arch your back while on your hands and knees. do this for about 3-5 mins and hold during each thrust for a count of 5. it will loosen up the tight muscles in you back. I have scoliosis and this seems to help the best. But I also crack my own back several times a day to help aleviate the pain.
