Natural pain relief spray is a traveler’s best friend
Article by Judy Cutler
Remember your last vacation? Remember those cramped seats; recirculated air in already arid cabins; little if any lumbar or neck support; chilly cabin temperatures? These conditions can be compounded if one already suffers from some other painful malady, like arthritis, fibromyalgia, or any number of other chronic discomforts. All can make for an uncomfortable in-flight or car travel experience if not prepared with a natural pain relief option.
Whether traveling by plane, train or automobile, the discomfort and pain associated with a long voyage can be excruciating even for the seasoned traveler.
Take heart; using a natural pain relief spray and employing the following useful tips can improve the experience:* Pack light and choose lightweight rolling suitcases. Most injuries occur from carrying heavy luggage.* Use caution when toting luggage around. No running. Lift heavy luggage by bending at the knee rather than the waist, and get help or use caution when lifting heavy cases into the overhead airline compartment or trunk of a car.* Dress warmly and comfortably. Restrictive clothing can create tension or cause you to move in unnatural ways, or if temperatures are cooler, muscles may contract all of which can increase risks for injury.* Turn air blowers away from you. Cold air blowing directly on the head or neck can create tension headaches or stiffness.* Avoid getting dehydrated. Drink plenty of fluids, and avoid caffeine or alcohol as they can increase dehydration. A dehydrated body suffers more joint stiffness and pain.* If traveling in a confined plane cabin or train car, stand up and stretch as often as possible. If driving, make frequent stops and do the same.* When sleeping, bring your own pillows – one that supports your lower back, and one that wraps around your neck preventing your head from flopping around and causing neck pain (inflatable pillows make for easier portability).* Consider using a portable foot rest on trains or planes to relieve stress on lower back if you are too tall for the seat or backs of legs if you are too short and your feet don’t touch the floor.* On long trips or flights, get good rest. To improve your sleep, use a sleep mask that blocks out most of the light. Earplugs or noise canceling headphones will block out most of the noise. A well rested body responds better to pain, and the body can heal itself much better.* Keep a bottle of a natural pain relief spray handy and spritz the afflicted areas as often as needed. A natural pain relief spray will alleviate the pain, making the trip more comfortable, and won’t have harmful side-effects that can leave you feeling groggy and too disoriented to enjoy your vacation.
