This is an article submitted by an anonymous guest blogger.  She has really done some research that I think we all can benefit from.  I know that taking medication can really help and may be necessary, I continue to believe that the best and long term results will come from a healthier, natural approach to relieving the symptoms of fibromyalgia, and for improving the quality of life.

Your feedback would appreciated, as well as your experience with supplements.

Suffering with the all over pain associated with fibromyalgia can be frustrating. Trying to find something that will not only help you manage your fibromyalgia symptoms but alleviate them. If you are like many people, you are looking for more natural fibromyalygia treatment options.  There are a number of different alternative therapies you could choose from. Here is a quick reference list of the best natural fibromyalgia treatments on the market.

Each of these items is available at your local health food store, organic market and in some of the better grocery stores.

Detox 7 or Nature’s Secret Cleanse and Flush – both of these are listed because Detox 7 requires you to drink a solution that many may not find favorable and take a supplement. The other is only supplemental pills. While neither is geared specifically for fibromyalgia, the cleansing that these products perform, removing all of the built of toxins in your body helps alleviate a lot of the pain associated with fibromyalgia.

Vitamin D will help the anxiety and depression that many people with fibromyalgia experience. While there hasn’t been any scientific research to support that vitamin D has anything to do with the musculoskeletal issues, a deficiency in vitamin D can increase the occurrence of depression and anxiety which are also fibromyalgia symptoms.

Another natural fibromyalgia treatment option is incorporating the supplement 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) into your diet. 5-HTP has been shown to increase levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps block pain. Taking this supplement daily will decrease the number of tender points, your fatigue, anxiety, and stiffness and improve your sleep.

These are only a couple of the natural fibromyalgia treatments available, but they are the best available. It is also to remember that your diet plays an important role in the management of your fibromyalgia. Try to avoid eating foods that have a lower inflammation rating. As always please consult you doctor before you begin taking any supplement to make sure that it does not interact with any other medication you are taking.
