If you’re looking for natural shoulder pain relief, check out these tips for how to help shoulder pain and other aches.

So, I mentioned a while ago that I had damaged my rotator cuff and was having physical therapy and cuffing done for pain. While it has improved, I am still dealing with shoulder pain on a daily basis.

Natural Shoulder Pain Relief Tips

There are many different reasons that your shoulder may hurt so if you haven’t already, you should speak to your medical provider to find out what’s best for your individual situation. I am not a doctor and am only sharing what’s working for me.

Once you’ve determined why your shoulder is bothering you, the next step is to figure out how to get some relief so that you can be more comfortable. It’s difficult to sleep or go through the day comfortably when your shoulder is bothering you.

What is a natural remedy for shoulder pain?

What works for your specific circumstance will depend, in part, on why your shoulder is bothering you. Here are a few things that often work for me.

• Cold compress to reduce swelling in your shoulder

• Heat therapy to soothe sore muscles and relieve stiffness

• Rest

• Gentle stretches and exercise

• Massage

• Changing your posture

• Relieving stress

• Topical pain relief gel or spray

What essential oil is good for shoulder pain?

I am a firm believer in using essential oils in my wellness routines. Peppermint essential oil is often used to help alleviate chronic pain and lavender oil has natural anti-inflammatory properties.

Other essential oils known for their calming properties may help you to manage stress caused by chronic pain. A few examples include German chamomile and citrus-based essential oils.

Shoulder pain relief cream, gel, or spray

Shoulder pain can take a while to disappear even under the care of a doctor and with physical therapy.

I find that using a topical shoulder pain relief medication can be very helpful. I’ve been using Hempzilla Joint and Muscle Gel with 300mg of broad-spectrum CBD along with these natural shoulder pain relief tips.

Hempzilla Joint and Muscle Gel contains natural menthol and 24 potent essential oils. The gel instantly cools, calms, and soothes areas of tension or soreness.

The menthol is combined with organically grown CBD and ActivAloe®, which increases bio-absorption and hydration to better target the areas where you need relief most. It’s available in gel, roll-on, and spray formulas so it’s convenient to use everywhere. 

I tucked the spray in my purse to take to work so I could use it when my shoulder was bothering me and I use the gel before bedtime so I can get a better night’s sleep.

They both act fast and have cooling properties thanks to the essential oils that are really helping me manage my shoulder pain. Try it yourself and take 10% off your order using my code: ELLENBLOGS10

Promote overall wellness

While you’re dealing with shoulder pain or any other type of chronic condition, it’s important that you focus on your overall wellness. It’s too easy to forget that we need to eat healthy meals, drink enough water, and move frequently.

You can also support overall wellness with a broad-spectrum tincture like Hempzilla’s Pure Ginger Wellness Formula. This is a medium-strength tincture that contains both CBD, CBG, and ginger to promote wellness.

It’s loaded with nutrients and bioactive compounds that have benefits for your overall wellness. It even has MCT oil from coconut. It’s sweetened with Stevia so it’s very pleasant to take. You just use one dropper full under your tongue.

What type of CBD is in Hempzilla?

Hempzilla uses organically grown CBD from hemp that has been grown and processed right here in the USA. It’s made with non-GMO ingredients and contains no traces of THC. It has no psychoactive effects and is legal in all 50 states.
