Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is something that my 36 year old body deals with on a regular basis. My pain areas are my knees which Drs. say is almost bone on bone, back and my hands. My knees probably being the worse since I have been really hard on them as an avid snowboarder and instructor. I stumbled across some really great natural home remedies to help with pain and discomfort, I am planning on trying a few out. If any of my readers do also, please let me know what you think and how it worked for you.
 
Osteoarthritis:
• Arthritis affects the joints causing severe pain
• This pain can make a person immobile
• It is one of the most common joint disorders which occurs with age

Symptoms to look for:
• Swelling and pain in the affected joint
• Cracking noise on any joint movement
• Constant stiffness

Causes:
• Wear and tear of the cartilage, a cushion between the bones and joints,
• Increases the friction between the bones
• Leads to stiffness and pain in the joints
• Overweight
• Injury
• Excessive exercising
• Hereditary factors

Natural home remedy using potato:
1. Wash and cut an unpeeled potato into thin slices
2. Soak them in water overnight
3. Strain the water in the morning
4. Drink it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach

Natural home remedy using mustard oil and camphor:
1. Heat 1 cup of mustard oil
2. Add 10 g of camphor
3. Heat till camphor dissolves completely
4. Massage with the oil when lukewarm
This increases the blood supply and reduces inflammation and stiffness

Natural home remedy using sesame seeds:
1. Take 100 ml of water
2. Soak 1 tsp of black sesame seeds in it overnight
3. Consume this mixture in the morning

Natural home remedy using cinnamon powder and honey:
1. Take 1 tsp of cinnamon powder
2. Add 1 tbsp of honey
3. Mix well
4. Have this on an empty stomach every morning

 Completely natural, non-invasive, and can be prepared at home.
