Holistic treatment and managing environmental irritation can help reduce pain by relaxing the body and reducing nerve stimulation. Stress is an essential factor in overall body aches and pain.

It may take some experimentation to see what works for a specific individual, and stress reduction may be more relevant as a preventive measure than to reduce existing pain.
