Home remedies for aching knees. Five salutary methods

Painful knees are a condition that affects many of us. Young people are struggling with the problem more and more often due to sedentary work or insufficient amount of physical activity. In some cases, in order to get rid of a persistent ailment, it is enough to implement a few home remedies for aching knees. Get to know a few of them.

The sheer volume of duties, computer work and remote learning affect the quality of life and joint health. Lack of movement and incorrect posture of the body, which are favored by the above-mentioned activities, may result in the appearance of unpleasant pain ailments. One of the more common is knee pain. Affliction can come from a variety of factors, but sometimes the problem is easier to deal with than expected. In many cases, the inconvenience can be eliminated by using home remedies for aching knees.

1. Check your health. Just answer these questions       

Warm and cold compresses are an effective method for aching knees

Wrapping your knees with a warm compress, such as a heating pad, may be a salvation for your knees. Hot compresses can relieve pain while resting, for example when resting after a hard day’s work. Another way is to cool a sore spot. This method turns out to be effective especially when inflammation begins to develop.

An increasingly recognized method for painful knees is to combine both. To achieve the desired results – especially after an injury – the first thing to do is cool the sore knee. Specialized cooling sprays, cold gel packs and ointments with the addition of capsaicin, which cool and warm the joint at the same time, work well. It is very important, however, not to heat up the sore knee when the joint is warm to the touch. At Medonet Market you can buy a gel compress for hot and cold compresses, as well as a special Visiomed KINECARE VM-GB6 knee compress. Green-lip mussels ointment for joints can also help with pain.

How To Get Rid Of Knee Pain? Exercise is an effective method

Knee pain may discourage you from taking up physical activity, but the lack of it can cause even more problems. Although the pain decreases when you are resting and it worsens when you exercise, you should not give up movement altogether. If the cause of the symptoms is osteoarthritis, restricting activity may cause the disease to progress and make the joint even more stiff.

The selection of exercises is very important. In order to solve the problem, it is necessary to diagnose the cause of the pain. In some cases, many activities may prove to be detrimental to the knees. For this reason, a reasonable solution is to consult a physiotherapist who will advise you which exercises for aching knees will be the best.

Among the least invasive trainings recommended by specialists, the most frequently mentioned are:

1. swimming;
2. water aerobics;
3. thai chi;
4. walk;
5. stretching;
6. practicing yoga.

Use herbal ointments on sore knees

Ointments are a fairly common method that is applied topically to sore parts of the body. The results of a 2011 study show that preparations of herbs and natural ingredients such as ginger, sesame oil and cinnamon have been shown to relieve knee pain. In this case, seek medical advice – as knee pain can be caused by many different factors, before using a fancy home remedy, it is worth making sure that the ointment is effective and, above all, that it does not cause more harm than positive effects.

Remedies for knee pain – take care of a balanced diet

Obesity and overweight generate a greater risk of problems with the knees, which become more stressed by excess weight. For this reason, specialists recommend introducing changes in everyday nutrition and getting rid of the accumulated fat tissue by eliminating highly processed products, avoiding stimulants, fast food, sweets, confectionery and salty snacks. Instead, include fresh vegetables and fruits, lean meats, fish, and fluid intake in your healthy menu. It is also worth including products rich in collagen, calcium and gelatin in the diet.
