Maybe you've pulled some muscles.
Or it could be gas. Sometimes that can feel like a sword stabbing you.
I tore a floating rib once (they are the cartilige ones, not bone) and it hurt like crazy off and on for a few years. I had trouble holding myself up when sitting. A girdle helped, lol.

I've never found tea of any kind to be a pain reliever. Aspirin works much better.

Hope you figure it out or get better

Peace,
Pedata

any kind of an anti-inflammatory should work great, as it reduces swelling. it would be ideal if you had muscle issues, or cracked a rib. reduced sweling means less pain, as blood flow will be much easier.

It would help if you could tell us what's causing the pain...
There are herbs that work to relax muscles, relieve gas, regulate hormones, aid kindey and liver function...
For general pain relief look for a blend of meadow sweet, and white willow bark...both contain forms of salicylic acid (the stuff aspirin is made of).

oh, and for pulled muscles, torn ligaments, bruising, or general muscle or joint pain an external application of Arnica infused oil is incredible.
