Lipitor is a prescription medication that is commonly used to treat high cholesterol levels. However, it can cause side effects such as muscle pain, which can be uncomfortable for some patients [1]. Fortunately, there are several herbs that may help alleviate muscle pain.

One herb that has been studied for its potential to reduce muscle pain is ginger. A study published in the Journal of Pain found that taking ginger supplements reduced muscle pain by 25% in people who performed elbow exercises [3]. Another study found that ginger may help reduce muscle pain in people with osteoarthritis [2].

Another herb that may be helpful for muscle pain is turmeric. Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. A study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that taking a curcumin supplement reduced muscle damage and soreness in people who performed a downhill running exercise [2].

Finally, boswellia may also be helpful for reducing muscle pain. A study published in the International Journal of Medical Sciences found that taking a boswellia supplement reduced muscle pain and improved muscle strength in people with osteoarthritis [2].

It is important to note that while these herbs may be helpful for reducing muscle pain, they should not be used as a replacement for prescription medication without first consulting a healthcare provider. Additionally, some herbs may interact with certain medications, so it is important to talk to a healthcare provider before taking any new supplements or herbs.
