Back Relax is a new homeopathic product for back pain relief that you may not have heard of before. For $13.97 a bottle, this aspirin-free formula promises to deliver pain relief specifically where you need it; in the lower lumbar region, the sore neck and the shoulder blades.

The market for homeopathic supplements is ever-growing, with more and more Americans looking for healthier alternatives to liver-destroying chemicals and dependency-creating drugs. While supplements may not be the magic bullet for everyone, some patients who have failed to respond to conventional treatment find that these supplements are their best hope for back pain relief.

Healthier You, the company behind Back Relax, has been around since 1995, marketing natural health products and supplements. President Jack Danforth promises, "Our products must do as we say they will. If not, you may return any unused portion - up to a full 90 days after receipt - for a courteous and complete refund of the purchase price.

No questions asked, and no hassles." The company believes in harnessing the synergistic effects of different natural elements to create an effective, chemical-free treatment for your needs. "By combining the latest breakthroughs in nutritional science with the finest ingredients available, our formulations are said to be ahead of their time," the website proudly declares.

You can feel good knowing that there are no artificial binders or animal byproducts in these formulas. Also, since you are buying directly from the company, you don't have to worry about paying outrageous markups.

Back Relax claims its "homeopathic properties temporarily stimulate your body's own natural mechanisms to help soothe and ultimately relieve low-back agony when it attacks." They say their special formula specifically seeks out areas like the lower lumbar, the shoulders and shoulder blades and the spinal region.

Some of the active ingredients include Benzoicum Acidum, which is commonly used to treat joint pain; Colchicum Autumnale, which eases shooting pains; Rhus Toxicodendron, which eases tightness from holding the same position for long lengths of time; and sulphur, which provides soothing relief in neck and lumbar areas.

According to the manufacturer's website, "Vitamins, herbs, minerals, amino acids, whole food complexes work best when taken consistently and regularly over a prolonged period of time." Back Relax has been designed as a safe, natural alternative to conventional medications, but it takes some patience when you're getting started.

The payoff doesn't always occur immediately, as your body acclimates to the new material coming in. It's also recommended that you take a daily multi-vitamin and incorporate things like exercise, stretching, meditation and healthy eating into your lifestyle for maximum results.
