Your shoulder is painful and has been for a few days now. It woke you up twice last night, and although you don't like to, you start looking for that bottle of painkillers that you got for that headache you had a month ago. You would prefer a natural pain remedy but at 3:00am you don't have much choice. You read the label and find that if you take this one for pain relief, it may cause nausea, stomach ulcers, ringing in the ears, deafness and "lumbosis".

Maybe you should try to get some natural pain relief with that Chinese doctor that cousin Joe talked about at the party last week. He had all sorts of herbs that he uses and he also does acupuncture. That involves sticking needles into certain 'points' on the body, but at the thought of needles your head swims and you need to sit down for a minute.

Then there was that commercial you saw on TV last night. That woman said that as a grandmother she wouldn't let her arthritis stop her and when she took this tablet the pain went away and she could play with her grandson safely. Afterwards they listed the possible side effects and you had to sit down again for the room to stop spinning.

Maybe a massage would be good, but who to go to? The ads you saw last time you were browsing through a local tabloid, looked suspiciously like the end product had very little to do with a sore shoulder, and the one that did look legitimate wanted to charge so much that a house "refi-" seemed necessary!

"Go to the Internet and type in 'Natural pain relief' or 'Natural pain remedy' and look for 'Naturally Painless'- it's a spray," said Aunt Bertha. "You spray it on and within a few minutes the pain has subsided. They are a little more expensive than a few others on the market, but the best ingredients give the best results, and in this field, you get what you pay for." Her old hands were just about ready to give up crocheting, but the baby clothes she made for the arrival of your latest addition to the family last week are proof enough for you.

So you chose Naturally Painless and it worked like a charm. No side effects, no needles (shudder) nothing but a wonderful pain free night. The baby woke you a few times but who cares? No pain!

"Searching for a Natural Pain Remedy need not be a traumatic experience" said Judy Cutler, the creator of 'Naturally Painless', "and we have found that once someone has tried the product they never go anywhere without it."
