Honestly, I’m not a new age/energy healing person, but I recommend just a few minutes of Tai Chi or Chi Gung/Xi Gong. Based on the “Gate Theory” of pain, gentle motions will stimulate the mechanorecptors and diminish pain. The type of exercise doesn’t really matter so long as it is gentle and not with a lot of joint compression. You could easily substitute some slow motion kata of any martial art you’ve studied. I find it helps me loosen up after too many days of still hunting and not sleeping enough – I start waking up really stiff… just 3 minutes, along with some deep breathing while performing the motions, really helps.
Beyond that, an anti-inflammatory diet. Turmeric is getting great reviews as well.
CBD and Chaga I am less impressed with. Evening Primrose Oil works, but that is because it is an actual prostaglandin inhibitor – which means it probably has the same detrimental affects as NSAIDs do.
Of course your mileage may vary.
