if you've been experiencing pain in your bones and joints you are definitely not alone millions
of people around the world are experiencing joint pain and inflammation daily in various
parts of the body if you've already seen a doctor then they've probably already given
you a prescription for medication to alleviate the pain or maybe you're searching for natural
remedies to relieve these unwanted symptoms that can be done from the comfort of your own home
if so you're in the right place because that is exactly what we are going to discuss
in this video be sure to watch until the end because there's one remedy
that not too many people know about so if you're ready let's get into it
just a quick reminder we are not doctors this video is for informational purposes
only the first method that i want to mention is to take an epson salt bath
epson salt otherwise known as magnesium sulfate has been used for centuries to treat muscle pain
arthritis and fibromyalgia with magnesium at its core epsom salt naturally relaxes muscles since 50
of the united states population is magnesium deficient soaking in an epsom salt bath has the
potential to normalize magnesium levels and treat a wide range of diseases including joint pain
to make this type of bath dissolve one or two cups of epsom salt in warm water and soak in it for as
long as desire another remedy to try is herbal tea many herbal teas have compounds that can
reduce the inflammation responsible for bone and joint pain for example ginger tea has been shown
to assist people who suffer from osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis due to its high phenolic
content rosehip tea is also anti-inflammatory due to the galactolipids that it contains
galactolipids can also reduce the pain associated with both types of arthritis willow bark tea is
another natural herbal tea that reduces the sensation of pain thankfully this means that
we can choose to eat healthy anti-inflammatory foods in order to improve our overall health
first and foremost try to limit sugar refined carbohydrates and preservatives that are common in
processed foods instead eat fruits vegetables fish beans nuts healthy fats and whole grains as they
promote a healthy lifestyle and reduce unnecessary inflammation in other words eat natural
unadulterated food that is in its whole form and your bones and joints will greatly appreciate it
the next technique is to try hot and cold therapy the healing action behind hot and cold therapy is
due to an increase in blood circulation when heat therapy is applied blood flow increases and when
cold therapy is applied blood vessels contract pushing blood away from the area in this way the
contrast between hot and cold creates a pump-like action that flushes toxins away from the damaged
area while allowing nutrients to flow in you may also consider consuming more omega-3 fatty acids
omega-3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory compounds that can play a key role in alleviating
pain in your joints one study found that subjects reported lower levels of pain when consuming fish
oil supplements a similar study concluded that a daily dose as low as 2.6 grams of omega-3 for
one year may reduce the need for anti-rheumatic medication if your doctor recommends it you can
consider taking a fish oil supplement or you can simply eat more foods that are high in omega-3s
some examples include salmon tuna mahi-mahi sardines nuts seeds olive oil and avocado the next
technique on our list is to try capsaicin green capsaicin is an active compound of chili peppers
that is known for having pain relieving effects one study found that the topical application of a
.025 capsaicin cream was shown to reduce pain by 57 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 33
in patients with osteoarthritis while two of the study participants had to withdraw
due to the burning sensation most of the other participants recorded positive results overall
therefore using this cream on your painful joints is something to consider and we couldn't have made
this video without mentioning turmeric turmeric is often known as the king of natural health remedies
that is because of its anti-inflammatory antiviral antibacterial and strong antioxidant properties
multiple studies on osteoarthritis have shown that turmeric extract can act as a therapeutic aid
and reduce pain symptoms typically turmeric supplements are combined with black pepper
in order to improve bioavailability as turmeric in its natural form isn't absorbed by the body
but again as long as you get approval from your doctor this is definitely a supplement to consider
switching gears just a bit yoga is another therapeutic technique to consider
that is because the lack of muscle flexibility and strength imbalance is often directly responsible
for pain in your bones and joints the good news is that these imbalances can be remedied with a
stretching routine using yoga as a way to not only reduce joint pain but to eliminate it is often
possible many patients who elect to have surgery for joint pain often do so unnecessarily as they
could have corrected the issue with routine yoga sessions in a study on knee arthritis and yoga
there was evidence that yoga reduces knee pain decreases stiffness and improves functionality
which can enhance the well-being of people suffering from arthritis and that leads to the
next technique on our list which is acupuncture acupuncture has a long history as a natural remedy
for many diseases it's a form of alternative medicine where thin needles are inserted into
the body one study was performed on the effects of acupuncture on patients with osteoarthritis
knee pain the results were promising because the subjects reported both short and long-term
improvement in knee functionality the next remedy can be performed from the comfort of your own home
and it is to try an olive oil massage as a general rule of thumb deep tissue massages
are a great way to reduce bone and joint pain as it increases blood circulation to a specific area
with that said using olive oil during massage is even better because it contains the compound
olyropy that is directly responsible for reducing inflammation in a four-week study women who rubbed
extra virgin olive oil onto their joints had less pain than those who used other medicated creams
now it may be a bit messy but this is definitely something to consider if you want to get rid of
painful sensations in your bones and joints so just to give a quick recap the remedies
to help alleviate joint pain that you can consider include two try and epsom salt bath
herbal tea anti-inflammatory foods hot and cold therapy omega-3 fatty acids capsaicin cream
