Receptra Naturals Serious Relief Review

October 27, 2020

*I received the products mentioned in this post for review. No other monetary payment was received. Any and all opinions are my own.

For those who have followed me from the beginning remember me breaking my hip – yea ouch! I was 30 years old when it happened, and still there’s no explanation of how, or even why. Bones were tested- all strong! Healthy body as well, wasn’t in an accident or anything. I’ve begun to think about it as my higher consciousness was trying to get me to slow down. Always been an active person, always running around, and with four kids there wasn’t really much that actaully got me to slow down. Broken bones? Yea well I walked on it for 3 months so it’s safe to say that didn’t slow me down that much- it did at some point though when the pain was too much to bare. How I went that far I do not know and neither do the doctors it was bad.

The injury was a major slow down, and a wake up call. While I was still active it became a new active, instead of high impact physical activity each day I had to re-learn to walk, re-learn how to do things day to day. Yoga took up my life and my recovery but even 8 years later I still deal with the lasting pain of the injury. Somedays it’s easier , other days I just push through and remind myself I’m human. It is ok to slow down and rest, it is ok to set things aside and save them for later. There’s no need to push myself till I’m in more pain! There is never a reason for anyone to do that! So, when those days catch up to me I focus on where my thoughts are. As a busy mom it’s not as easy to step aside and leave things for later so when I have too, I usually am pretty hard on myself for not getting things done. This can make everything WORSE! Why? Because negative thoughts create a tense body, a tense body increases pain already within the body.

How to avoid this? Change your thoughts.

It’s a matter of keeping a positive mindset so that pain isn’t weighting you down. It really does begin with your thoughts, physical pain can be made worse if your thoughts are stuck in the dark.

I’ve spoken about mindfulness before, be in the moment, take in your surroundings , letting your mind only focus on immediate things around you. What do you see, smell, hear, feel , and by feel I mean touch. The point is to get your thoughts off of yesterday, or tomorrow and focus solely on NOW. By doing this you relax your mind, and that relaxes your body. Pain will actaully ease to be somewhat manageable. While it doesn’t go away, it can be managed more when the body itself is relaxed.

Along with daily mediation and yoga to manage my pain I have recently added some new products to my daily routine. I will talk about all of the products in the picture above in the coming weeks, but for today, since I’m mainly focused on pain I wanted to share with you two really awesome products by Receptra Naturals.

The first one up is the Serious Relief + Turmeric Tincture. I add this to my tea most days right after my yoga routine and right before my mediation sessions. It’s packed full of omega fatty acids ,turmeric, and avocado oil that can help support you for more focused energy and faster recovery, from everyday activities and day to day discomforts. Turmeric itself helps in the aid of recovery as it’s an herb that helps combat inflammation in the body, so this was a major plus for me. This can help you relax and more which will of course help with any discomforts. It doesn’t really have a taste that I can describe, but I can assure you it doesn’t taste bad or leave an lingering taste to deal with. Easy to take and always reliable.

Now for my favorite of all the new products that Receptra Naturals brought aboard is their Serious Relief Targeted Topical Stick! It’s great for on the go , but I usually have it sitting right near my yoga mat so it can be used before my workout. This is packed full of ingredients that attack inflammation head on! It’s easy to apply , with no over powering smell. It’s great in helping the recovery of achy muscles or joints. I really enjoy using this one. Just apply to where you need it and off you go! It’s really helped relieve some lower back pain as well as knee pain for me. You can check out more about each product below !
