Pain is an uncomfortable or disturbing feeling that is caused by an intense stimulus. It is described as aching, pinching, stabbing, steady and throbbing among others.

Some types of pain are very intense and need immediate medical attention while pain like toothache, back pain, and body/headache can be relived with a pill. However, medicines are not always available right away. In that case, remedies from your kitchen can come of big use.

Here are some home remedies for common pains that you can consider:
