Gardening is a relaxing and even therapeutic activity for some. For people who suffer from chronic pain, there's one plant, in particular, you might want to consider growing for its proven pain-relieving benefits.

I didn't take to gardening until I hit my forties. Nowadays, I find it to be a great way to de-stress and the perfect excuse for when I need a few minutes away from my wife.

We have grown many different plants and trees in our garden. Aloe Vera, roses, Japanese Maples, Dogwood, cactus, peppers, tomatoes, strawberries, succulents, sunflowers, lilies, figs, basil, chives, and all sorts of other stuff. One of the plants we use in food a lot just so happens to be a proven pain killer, and you don't need a prescription or consultation for it.
