It’s that time of the year again!
If you are dreading joint and bone pains when you should be anticipating the holiday spirit and good cheer, though, this one is for you. Learn how to combat seasonal joint pains and aching bones with these 4 simple home remedies.
Remedy #1: A Warm Bath With Epsom Salts
Add epsom salts into your bathwater, and step into a warm bath. These are easily absorbed into your skin, and help reduce inflammation. You can also use the same water in a compress, and apply it directly to skin.
Remedy #2: Get On Your Feet
Exercise is the best way to avoid pain like this. Granted, this isn’t the first thing you’d think of if you already have aching bones and joints. But you can still set off with a helpful brace or wrap bandage around a painful joint.
Remedy #3: Hot And Cold
Alternate between applying a warm compress and a cold ice pack to the pain centre. Try and do this once every day, 15 minutes each time. This will bring relief to stiff joints.
Remedy #4: ‘Joint Warming’ Ginger Tea
Ginger can be as effective as medication for arthritic pain relief. What makes ginger so helpful? It is said to have been reducing pain and stiffness in the knee joint by 40% .
So why not have a ‘joint warming’ ginger tea to keep your pain away.
That’s about it. All of these remedies are DIY-friendly and based on ingredients you’ll find at home. Try these for a pain-free Christmas and a happy new year!
