Ease Joint Pain Naturally

Joint pain can really get annoying. Sometimes it seems like there is no relief from the agonizing ache that creeps into your joints and sets up camp. Fortunately, I have some tried and true remedies for easing your joint pain...naturally!!!


Instructions


1. If you get joint pain after a workout, then a great remedy is to stretch after your workout for an extended amount of time. Focus on lengthening the hip muscles and make sure that you have adequate space for stretching, such as a mat or floor space. I also massage my hip joints as I stretch, which seems to help ease pain.








2. Alternating hot and cold also helps relieve chronic joint pain. Place a cold pack on the effected joint for about 15 minutes, then alternate it with a hot water bottle for 15 minutes. A few rounds of this will take your pain right away. The cold will reduce swelling, while he heat will ease pain.








3. Finally, giving your joints a good massage always helps with joint pain. Using massage oil, deeply massage the effected joint for about 20 minutes. You can follow this with a hot water bottle for added pain relief.
