"Pain Erasers" talked about some natural remedies for pain. She focused mostly on using essential oils and strongly favored using the doTerra brand. However, she did have an informative section at the end which talked about making changes in your diet to promote anti-inflammatory foods and remove inflammatory foods as well as suggested some useful supplements. She started by telling her story and then doing short profiles on different types of pain. In these profiles, she briefly described the problem and listed the best remedies for that type of pain. For most of the problems, there was a lot of overlap on which were the best remedies (which is probably good news).

She then went into greater depth about each of these remedies. For each profile, she gave the common name as well as the Latin name, a brief history about the herb's use, some scientific information about how it works and how effective it is, information on how to use it as an herb or essential oil, and safety considerations like whether it's safe to ingest and how to safely do that. She also briefly explained other things the herb is good for.

In the safety section, she seemed to start with the exact same warning with only the herb's name changed. I thought it was odd that she was so concerned with dangerous solvent residues in the essential oils. Almost all of her suggested essential oils are steam distilled, so the solvent is water. Also, oregano oil is usually the herb steeped in an oil for some time, the herb strained out, and the oil ingested with food. This is not meant to be deceptive (as she implies) as they don't claim it's an ESSENTIAL oil. Even if an essential oil comes diluted in a carrier oil, they should clearly list that on the bottle.

I've already been using a number of these remedies for my rheumatoid arthritis pain. I generally felt like I knew more about the essential oils than she did. However, this is a good source of information for someone new to the topic of using essential oils and diet for pain relief.

I stopped reading as soon as the author mentioned doterra essential oils. That was 9% into the book. No one likes bring pushed to MLMs or given false information.

This book had a lot of different pain help for different diagnoses. I liked how the beginning had all the different diagnoses and top and secondary pain relief remedies. After it went into detail about each of the different remedies. I found it was very informative. I bookmarked many different sections to use for the future. I liked how it had a section for each relief and it went in depth and was dry helpful.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC for an exchange for an honest review.

Interesting, definitely worth a read.

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. I browsed through this book and I just loved it! I will be going to this book a lot again and again. Very informative! I am really into natural remedies instead of taking prescription medicine. Thank you again for gifting it to me!

I found Pain Erasers really interesting to read. The reason why I wanted to read this book because I suffer from lower back pain so I was interested if this book could help me. The book was easy to read and straight the way I was interested in how Michelle suffered from pain. This is a book I will definitely come back to and read a section at time because I don’t won’t to miss any thing .
Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this book.
