Natural Pain Relief Alternatives

Natural pain relief works by decreasing sharp pain transmitted by the nerves or causing the brain to pay attention to something else. This is true for needle pain, bee stings, laser hair removal, injections... you name it. The same sharp pain is transmitted on the same nerves no matter what the cause.

While transmission of sharp pain can be stopped with medical pain relief, using medicines that stop the flow of information, many people prefer natural alternatives to pain management.

Touch Distraction is an all natural method of alternative pain relief, confusing the nerves by sending other information that the body is designed to value more than sharp pain information.

Focus pain distraction draws attention away from the pain sensation, and is easy to do anywhere for quick needle procedures or painful injections.

For children, pain is only a small part of the distress they experience with bee stings, shots, or other painful procedures. Decreasing any of the components of fear, attention, or pain will decrease distress, and some children will work better with one method than another.

Buzzy is a new natural needle pain management device that incorporates both of these forms of pain distraction as well as the scientific principles of the gate control theory of pain. Buzzy uses the natural pain relievers of cold and vibration to confuse your body's nerves, and dull or eliminate the sensation of sharp pain.
