Natural solutions for everyday aches and pains

Surgery without anesthesia? You'd be hard-pressed to convince me to try it, that's for sure! But this article does a great job of outlining other natural remedies for every day aches and pains. Including:

• Treating heartburn with gum: The saliva created will wash those pesky acids back into your stomach where they belong. Save your teeth and chew sugar-free.
• Using music to reduce body aches: Use earphones or ear buds to block out environmental sounds. The type of music isn't important, so pop in or download your favorites.
• Getting hypnotized for just about anything! This deep relaxation technique also appears to help those with asthma and irritable bowel disorder.
• Treating menstrual cramps with fish oil: Take 1800 mg per day for relief.

I'm intrigued...has anyone ever used hypnotism to relieve pain? Do you have another natural remedy that works? Fill me in!
