Honey — has amazing antioxidants and some experts suggest drinking a little honey in warm water in the morning on an empty stomach. What a great natural food cure.

Yoga - Yoga is a great natural exercise that helps tone the back muscles and does wonders for curing backaches.

Heat Packs - always feel great when you have a backache.

Lemon - is a home remedy that many naturopaths suggest for helping backaches. Try taking the juice of 1 lemon with some salt twice a day for about a month to get relief.

Potato - Here’s an old home remedy. Chop up a potato - heat it up in the microwave with a wash cloth - and apply it to the back.

Weight Loss - Many people have a little extra around the middle. If you lose a little, your back will have less to support and it will make you feel better anyway.

Massage - Now who doesn’t like a massage. Have it done professionally or just ask your spouse . Try doing this regularly for six months with herbal oils and feel the results.

Posture - Your mother always told you to sit up straight. She was right.

Sleep - Try sleeping on a flat surface for a while. Many mattresses are too soft, or in some cases too old and don’t provide the support your back needs.

Vitamin C - Some doctors suggest Vitamin C plays an important role in treating backaches. It’s good for you anyway; you should already be taking it.

Garlic Oil - Here’s an old home herbal remedy for you. Take a few cloves of chopped up garlic - fry them in a little oil. Use sesame, coconut or mustard oil. Cook until the oil turns light brown - cool and apply the oil to your back. Be sure to use it regularly and massage it in deeply.

So the next time you wake up with a backache, do something about it just don’t live with the pain.
