From Skeptic to Believer: How I Took Back My Life from Pain Naturally
I’m Todd Bailey, co-founder of Herbal Mana. But before that? I was just a guy who thought natural remedies were about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. I was the ultimate skeptic. If it wasn’t prescribed by a doctor or sold over the counter, I wasn’t interested.
That all changed when pain stopped being a temporary inconvenience and became my everyday reality.
Years of football, orthopedic surgeries, and chronic pain had me relying on medications just to get through the day. And let’s be honest—when you live with pain, it’s not just your body that suffers. It drains your energy, steals your joy, and shrinks your world.
I thought that was just how life was going to be. Until I discovered something that actually worked.
The Shift That Changed Everything
For years, my wife (bless her patience) nudged me toward natural remedies. She kept bringing up essential oils, herbal blends, and DMSO, and I kept dismissing them.
Then one day, probably just to end the discussion, I finally gave in. I tried an essential oil blend she had been raving about. And you know what?
It worked.
Not just “meh, maybe a little” worked. I actually felt relief.
That moment cracked the door open. My curiosity took over. I started researching, testing, and learning from experts like Dr. Thad Chandler, who introduced me to powerful natural solutions for pain and inflammation.
Little by little, I took back control of my life—one step, one discovery, one natural remedy at a time. As it turns out, there are many things we can do to find relief.
Life After Pain: A Whole New World
There was a time I truly believed I’d never be able to run around with my grandkids, take hikes with my wife, or power through a full day at Disneyland without paying for it later.
But now?
✅ I plan my day around joy, not pain.
✅ I don’t schedule my life around my body’s limitations anymore.
✅ I wake up with energy, knowing I can be fully present for the people I love.
Life doesn’t have to be pain. (No matter what Westley said in The Princess Bride.)
If you're where I was—feeling trapped by pain, skeptical about natural solutions, or just plain tired of feeling limited—I encourage you to take the first step toward relief.
Take Back Control—Naturally
At Herbal Mana, we’ve spent years developing the same natural solutions that changed my life. And today, I want to introduce you to one of my all-time favorites for powerful relief: Frankincense DMSO Gel.
This fast-absorbing gel combines the deep-penetrating power of DMSO with the anti-inflammatory magic of frankincense to provide quick relief where you need it most.
Whether it’s joint pain, muscle aches, or lingering discomfort that just won’t quit—this gel helps you move freely again. Plus, it also combats that nagging stress and anxiety that comes with chronic pain.
If you’re ready to stop managing pain and start reclaiming your life, give it a try! Because you deserve to Hurt Less & Live More.
To your health and happiness,
Todd Bailey
