Natural Pain Treatments
Pain Reduction
To live with chronic pain is very challenging. I like to offer you some inspirations to help with pain.
Yoga, Meditation, Therapy, Deep Joy
Emotional Stress is in my perception #1 reason for long term physical pain. Find ways to implement sources of joy and relaxation into your life on a daily base.
Physical therapy
Massage therapy, Cranio-sacral therapy, Physio therapy, Feldenkrais, Chiropractic therapy can have a positive result.
Exercise, Yoga and Walks
Mostly pain is related to an overflow of acids and toxins in your body. Deep breathing does help eliminating acids/toxins via the respiratory system.
Exercise does strengthen your muscles. In Germany there is a saying: “A strong back does give you no pain”.
Try to work out as much as you can. YouTube is full of inspirational videos about e.g. exercises for chronic neck and shoulder pain/ degenerative arthritis.
Just do it 🙂
3 Weeks Hypoallergenic Alkaline Diet
This means completely avoiding an acidic diet with all the obvious unhealthy foods to see if your pain is reduced. Your focus is a super clean healthy green diet based on organic green vegetables.
Try to avoid (as much as you can) acid generating foods like sugar, sweeteners, meet (red meat/pork), soft drinks, coffee, black tea, alcohol, milk and dairy products.
After the 3 weeks any pain symptoms should not exist anymore.
After 3 weeks you slowly introduce one acidic food at a time and see how your body reacts and if pain is reintroduced.
Arnica
Arnica is applied to the skin for pain and swelling associated with bruises, aches, sprains, and arthritis. It is also applied to the skin for muscle and cartilage pain, chapped lips, and acne.
MSM
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) impacts your health by reducing inflammation and improving your body’s ability to make its own antioxidants.
Probiotics
If you have an inflammatory type of arthritis and lot of pain, probiotics may be especially important. The beneficial bacteria appear to have an impact on inflammation, reducing common biomarkers of inflammation, including C-reactive protein.
Vitamin C
Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C has also been linked with pain relief
Turmeric
Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.
Omega-3
Omega-3 fats are healthy fats with many health benefits for adult and children. Omega-3 fats may help lower your risk of heart disease. In infants, omega-3 fats help with brain, nerve and eye development. Research is currently being done to see if omega-3 fats play a role in lowering the risk of cancer, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and depression.
Serrapeptase
Serrapeptase has been used successfully for the treatment of cardiovascular problems, arthritis, fibrocystic breast disease, lung problems, sinusitis problems, carpal tunnel syndrome, and even sports injuries. It is recommended as an anti-aging agent simply because much of aging has to do with the accumulation of scar tissue, inflammation, and dis-regulation.
Dr. Jentschura’s 3 step program
Lots of people report about great results with Dr. Jentschura’s 3 step program. Releasing acids and toxins via the skin in long soothing foot and full bath does miracles. Speaking from my own experience alkaline local treatments with e.g. Dr. Jentschura’s Neck wraps do miracles with head/neck aches. Using the body wrap does help with back pain. Step 2 in having a great green healthy diet does help a lot: Eating large amounts of WurzelKraft does help your kidneys to eliminate toxins and acids. PLEASE READ MORE HERE

“Alkalize or Die”
Sorry for this shocking, powerful headline. And it is true on a chemical level. Our blood must be always alkaline otherwise we die instantly.
Nevertheless some MDs claim that “The Alkaline LifeStyle” is nonsense because the body itself has many different pH-levels and is able to buffer any diet (acid or alkaline).
Yes, the body is able to buffer any diet for a certain amount of time. But it comes with a cost to it.
Of course our body, the biochemical miracle, is able to deal with for instance a strong black coffee (which has a 10.000 times more acidic pH-level that our blood) and it is able to buffer it. But buffering actually means that the body is neutralizing the acidity of the coffee in a chemical reaction using organic minerals out of our mineral deposits (bones, skin, scalp and teeth).
So in living the “I do not care what I eat/drink” acidic life style with no exercise and lots of stress I basically long term exploit my body via demineralization which causes lots of diseases.
I love the simplistic comparison of your body with a bank account: Either you choose to deposit youth and health via alkaline life style (green, mineral rich diet/exercise/good sleep/positive attitude) or you deploit your health via acidic life style.
Our blood – why is it so important?
(by lifebloodonline)
Our blood could be viewed as the river of life; it is the substance that carries oxygen, water and nutrients to all your organs and tissues.
It therefore makes perfect sense, that imbalances seen in the blood will affect the organs and tissues, leading to malfunction and imbalance. Read more…
Why Alkalize?
A seven-year study conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, on 9,000 women showed that those who have chronic acidosis are at greater risk for bone loss than those who have normal pH levels.
Many of the hip fractures among middle-aged women are connected to high acidity caused by a diet rich in animal foods and low in vegetables. – American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
“The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause…too much tissue acid waste in the body!” – Dr. Theodore A. Baroody in his remarkable book Alkalize or Die. Read more…..

A biggie for most of us: “Avoid sugar”
Why? Lots of people who stepped away from sugar consumption report about weight loss, no more joint and back pains, losing insomnia, anxiety, depression and increased short and long term memory.
Step 1: Every craving/addiction in our life comes from an anticipated deficit in our hearts. Open your heart to let love in and let it flow, even if it aches.
Step 2: Keep your blood sugar stable. Have a great breakfast with protein and high quality carbs. Have lots of healthy meals/snacks during the day.
Step 3: The higher the amount of organic vital substances in your foods, the less cravings you will have. If you offer your body lots of organic super foods (e.g. like Wurzelkraft), it will be very grateful! If we go for fast food, after a short period our body reports “I am hungry again (for real food)”.
Step 4: Team up with family and friend. Create your own support group. Sets goals together and support each other.
Step 5: Engage in good activities with happy people. Exercise is always great! Find workout buddies and set appointments.
Step 6: Sugars are in almost everything, whether they’re natural or added. The key to cutting back on yours is to understand labels. Anything that ends in –ose is a sugar. Likewise, things that have the word “syrup” in them, or fruit juice concentrate.
Step 7: Make nuts, full-fat plain yoghurts, cinnamon and fresh vegetables, organic lean meat and fish your friends. Buy a good quality olive oil, coconut oil and prepare to cook “clean” – ie fresh wholesome food that’s not going to be drowned in sauces or marinades.
Step 8: Be kind with yourself. If you fall, get up right away. Set long term goals and focus your mind energy on achieving them. Meditation and prayer do help.

Tips on how to deal with stress
Stress: “A state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances.”
In our fast pace lives it is sometimes very hard to juggle family, hobbies, body care/fitness, finances, career, friends, etc.. It seems to be very easy to get lost in demanding circumstances.
Stress is, with anger and fear, one of the biggest reasons for not being well, which is the beginning of any dis-ease in our busy lives. On a physical level it creates lots of acidity in our body which brings imbalance in our body chemistry.
What to do?
1. Set your priorities right. Find out why you are here on the planet. Dig deep. Get a foundation for your existence which is solid. The deeper you dig the stronger it is. Are you here to become a multi millionaire while working like crazy? What is your life about? How old do you plan to become? Take time for and with yourself and ask you self uncomfortable questions and find out what your priorities in life are. That is crucial for a happy, healthy life!!!
2. Love exercise! Walking, swimming, dancing, jumping, working out, team sports, all bring lots of fun into your life. YouTube is full of aerobic, dance and Zumba videos you can start with. There are great programs like P90X you can buy and enjoy working out at home without going to a gym.
3. Breathing exercises, Yoga and meditation are very recommended. Deep, relaxed, proper breathing is super important for healthy living because, not only acids and toxins are actually released via the respiratory system, but also lots of healthy benefits are connected with breathing:
Steady energy throughout the day,
Great positive mood,
Freedom to breathe deeply and easily,
Waking up clear headed and refreshed,
A Clear mind and good memory,
A strong vocal expression.
4. Make good diet choices: Try to eat a green, organic diet with lots of fresh salads, veggies in season, seeds, nuts, buckwheat, amaranth and quinoa. We always love to support you with Dr. Jentschura’s organic and alkaline generating food and drink.
5. Enjoy alkaline full and foot baths together with dry/wet brushing: Taking an alkaline bath is like a little vacation and deeply relaxes and regenerates your complete system. Human life is created in an alkaline solution and our bodies greatly benefit from bathing in it. Dry and wet brushing increases your metabolism and your blood circulation, Both help with detoxifying your body.

Alkaline Hydrotherapy – Cultivating Health From the Inside Out!
by Dr. Jacqueline Cooper, ND Naturopathic Foundations Clinic, Markham, ON
Hydrotherapy, or water therapy, has been used for hundreds of years to effectively treat a wide variety of health conditions from the common cold to cancer. Most people’s recognition of hydrotherapy is limited to using ice packs to quell inflammation and hot applications to decrease muscle tension, alleviate cramps and stimulate healing. However, the reality is hydrotherapy is effective at treating a wide range of symptoms and conditions.
A common misconception is that the more serious or longstanding a health concern is, the more aggressive the treatment must be. This can lead people to pursue dramatic treatments that can actually hinder their health, while overlooking simple yet powerful practices that promote it. Hydrotherapy is an example of a gentle yet powerful tool that is often overlooked. While water itself is deeply healing, adding alkaline salts further increases the therapeutic value of hydrotherapy treatments.

While water itself is deeply healing, adding alkaline salts further increases the therapeutic value of hydrotherapy treatments.
Benefits to Alkaline Hydrotherapy
Alkaline hydrotherapy has profound effects despite its simplicity. One of the main things to consider with alkaline hydrotherapy is that the longer and more frequent the treatments sessions, the faster and more dramatic the results. You cannot overdo it.
That being said, some individuals may find initially they experience a worsening of skin symptoms – this is rare, but possible. Individuals who experience this tend to have extreme toxicities or deficiencies that need to be corrected. If you experience a worsening of symptom,s it is important that you consult with a naturopathic doctor to address the underlying factors responsible.
The physiological benefits derived from alkaline hydrotherapy include:

Individuals who experience this tend to have extreme toxicities or deficiencies that need to be corrected. If you experience a worsening of symptom,s it is important that you consult with a naturopathic doctor to address the underlying factors responsible.
The physiological benefits derived from alkaline hydrotherapy include:
- Increases the elimination of chemicals via the skin, thereby preventing the accumulation of toxins and alleviating stress on other organs, particularly the kidneys.
- Effetively eliminating toxins improves the circulation of blood and lymph. This improves organ function, relieves strains on the musculoskeletal system and improves skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis,acne and cellulite.
- Facilitates the elimination of lactic acid, thereby improving muscle relaxation and recovery.
- Provides relief following a sunburn, as well as healing skin that has been chronically over-exposed to the sun
- Rehydrates the skin by causing the skin to self-oil, therefore moisturizing the skin from within
Choosing the Right Salts
- Epsom salts are great for promoting muscle relaxation. However, they do not alkalinize the water and therefore, do not facilitate detoxification the way alkaline salts do. Epsom salts can also leave the skin feeling dry as opposed to alkaline salts which promote self-oiling.
- Avoid salts that contain fragrances. Fragrance is one of the most toxic ingredients you can find in a product. One of the reasons being that companies do not need to declare what chemicals they put in their fragrances, as it is considered a trade secret. If you want a fragrance add essential oils to the bath or the salts yourself.
- Alkaline salts assist in preventing muscles from tightening (similar to epsom salts). However, they also promote muscle recovery by helping the muscles to process lactic acid and detoxify the system as a whole.
Here at Naturopathic Foundations Health Clinic we use AlkaBath alkaline salts. When prepared in the proportions described above, an alkalinity of 8-8.5 pH is achieved (depending on the hardness of the tap water). In addition to making the water alkaline, AlkaBath salts also contain small measures of eight precious stones: agate, carneol, citrine, chrysoprase, onyx, rock crystal, sapphire and chalcedony. The presence of these stones amplifies the therapeutic properties of the bath immensely. Lithotherapy is the use of stones to restore optimal physiological balance and realign the body energetically. Lithotherapy has been used in varying degrees for thousands of years by almost every traditional form of medicine – Chinese, Aryuvedic, Ancient Egyptian & Greek physicians, American Shamans, etc.
Methods of Utilizing Alkaline Hydrotherapy
Full Baths
Benefits: Provides maximal skin exposure to the alkaline water and therefore is the most effective application.
Preparation
- Add 3 heaping tablespoons of alkaline salts to your bath tub after filling with water (approximately 36-38 degrees Celsius). The bath does not have to be hot in order to be therapeutic. If the water is too hot, you may have a hard time staying in for long periods, and emerge from the bath feeling weak and exhausted. If this is the case, try starting with the water at a cooler temperature. Because the alkaline salts cause you skin to self-oil, you will discover that you do not feel cold, even as the water cools down. Conversely, if you want the heat you can leave room in the tub to add hot water as time passes.
- Stay in the bath for at least 30 minutes, 45-60 minutes is ideal. For those with chronic concerns, longer durations are recommended (often 2 hours is the prescribed time allotment).
Acute Uses
- After exercise to facilitate muscle recovery
- During a cold or flu, an alkaline bath helps alleviate muscle aches, control fevers and draw out the infection
- When afflicted with a virus that has skin symptoms such as: chicken pox, shingles, molluscum, measles, etc
- Following sun exposure to minimize burn & subsequent skin damage and cancer risk
Chronic Uses
- Ideally should be incorporated weekly as part of a general wellness regimen
- Performed regularly by athletes, dancers or those who are generally active (or were heavily active in the past) as a means of preventing arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.
- For the eradication of ‘liver’ or ‘age’ spots
- Skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis and fungal infections.
Foot Baths
Benefits: Good for those who do not have a bath tub or cannot use one due to mobility issues. In Traditional Chines Medicine the kidney channel (which is associated with the excretion of impurities) begins in the foot, so the feet are considered elimination ‘hot spots’ – just like the underarms. Excessive sweating can sometimes be associated with an increased toxic burden.
Preparation
- Add 1 heaping teaspoon of alkaline salts to a basin of water large enough to submerge both feet. Your feet can tolerate warmer temperatures (38-41 degrees Celsius is typically a soothing temperature for a foot bath).
Acute Uses
- After a run/long walk or standing on your feet for a long period
- Following a sprain or strain of a toe or ankle
Chronic Uses
- As a general part of an ongoing wellness regimen
- Arthritis
- Athletes foot and/or toenail fungus
Wraps
Benefits: They provide a way for localizing treatment when a particular area of the body requires detoxification and healing.
Preparation
- Specifically designed wraps can be purchased or you can improvise at home. A non-dyed cotton is the best material for a therapeutic wrap. The size and length of the wrap depends on what area of the body it’s being applied to (it should be able to wrap around the body part its being applied to 4-6 times)
- Ankle/Wrist
- Knees/Elbow
- Shoulder
- Neck
- Upper Torso – you can improvise with a t-shirt. Wring it out, put it on, and then put a dry t-shirt or sweatshirt on over top. It is important to make sure you stay warm. You do not want to become chilled. If you are prone to being cold, consider bringing a hot water bottle to bed with you.
- Add 1 heaping teaspoon into a bowl of water and then soak half of the wrap and wring it out slightly. Wrap the wet half around the affected body part and continue wrapping so that the dry half of the wrap is wrapped over top of the wet half. Use safety pins to fasten it.
- Wraps are ideal to wear to while puttering at home, watching TV, or for maximal length exposure can be worn to bed.
Acute Uses
- Strains & sprains
Chronic Uses
- Chronic injuries (i.e. frozen shoulder, knee issues, ankle weakness etc.)
- Chronic headaches or migraines (use a neck wrap – ideally wear to bed)
- Thyroid issues (neck wrap)
Cuffs
Benefits: Cuffs are worn around wrists & forearms or ankles & lower legs. Similar to wraps, they can be worn around the house or to bed.
Preparation
- You can purchase cuffs or improvise at home home by cutting the toe off a sock.
- Prepare using same salt to water ration as wraps (1 heaping teaspoon of alkaline salts in a small-medium size bowl of water).
- Dip the cuffs into the water, wring them out to desired level of dampness and then put them on.
- Like all other forms of alkaline hydrotherapy, ensure at least 30 minutes of length, but aim for longer (overnight even) if possible.
Acute Uses
- During exercise to assist in processing & eliminating lactic acid, thereby improving muscle endurance & recovery.
Chronic Uses
- Ankle weakness/instability – this is especially important as we age for preventing falls.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
Spritzers
Benefits: Provides a quick easy deliver of alkaline hydrotherapy that can be used intermittently between other forms of treatment to expedite and maintain desired outcomes.
Preparation
- Find a spray/spritz bottle of any size. Place about 1/2 teaspoon of alkaline salts for approximately ever 100 ml of water. If you find that the spray bottle is not spraying you may need to dilute the solution.
Acute Uses
- Itch relief from bug bites or eczema
- Promotes healing and assists with disinfection of wounds.
Chronic Uses
- Skin conditions such as cellulite, acne, eczema & psoriasis – spritz the affected area daily after showering and again before bed.
- Alternatively to deodorant or anti-perspirant – it prevents body odor while also detoxifying the area. This is important since conventional anti-perspirants not only suppress the body’s natural detoxification mechanisms, but also contain many toxic substances. Aluminum, in many women’s deodorants, has been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.
- Homemade facial toner – You should only use a cleanser at night to clean off make-up and dirt that have accumulated through the day. In the morning simply wash with water and/or use a toner followed by your daily moisturizer.
At Naturopathic Foundations, our aim is to provide patients with tools that they can use at home on an ongoing basis to maintain their health. If you have not tried AlkaBath salts before, drop by our clinic to pick up a free sample and speak with myself or one of the other doctors about the health benefits they provide.
