Considering that most health issues from a skinned knee, twisted ankle or even normal wear and tear involve some level of pain, it only makes sense to decipher the mechanism behind this feeling and find a means to manage it. For centuries, various remedies provided some pain relief until a breakthrough occurred in the discovery that the hormone-like compounds called prostaglandins, which are the cause of inflammation and thus the producers of pain, could be blocked. By inhibiting an enzyme known as Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which triggers the release of prostaglandins, there exists a solution to pain management. What?s in C-2 Relief™ While COX-2 inhibition may seem to clearly describe one pharmacological effect of several common and widely recognized natural products, such a benefit seems in favor of the following compounds serving as natural modulators of pain: Syzygium Aromaticum, more commonly known as Cloves, have natural anesthetic properties. White Willow Bark contains salicylic acid, which is the active ingredient in aspirin. Aspirin was originally derived from white willow bark but is now made synthetically. Curcuminoids are powerful anti-inflammatory agents. Morinda Officinalis contains a wide variety of beneficial phytochemicals, some of which are not found in any other known plant. Phytochemicals are natural chemicals found in plants that work synergistically to enhance biologically the expression of each individual component found in Noni including its uses for pain and inflammation. Boswella Serrata has been used for thousands of years and has produced tremendous results in treating pain and inflammation by blocking the synthesis of leukotrienes, which can trigger inflammation.
