Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more joints in the body.
One of the main symptoms of arthritis is joint pain and stiffness.
The symptoms become worse with age. The onset of winter can worsen it.
In such a situation, it is extremely important to take precautions as it increases the swelling in the joints and makes walking difficult.
Here are a few remedies that can be practised at home.
Garlic: In Ayurveda, garlic is an effective remedy to get rid of the problem of arthritis. Due to a presence of a compound in garlic, it makes it anti-inflammatory.
Turmeric: Another home remedy to reduce arthritis pain in the joints is turmeric. The presence of curcumin in turmeric makes it anti-inflammatory and helps against swelling in the body due to arthritis.
Fenugreek: Fenugreek is yet another excellent home remedy to treat arthritis. Take two spoons of the seeds and soak them in water overnight. The next morning chew the seeds and then drink this water.
Castor oil: During the winter months, if you want to elevate the pain of arthritis, then regularly use castor oil to massage the joints every day.
Hot compress: To get relief from inflammation and pain from arthritis, make sure to do a hot compress. Take a hot water bag and apply it to the joints.
