In case you or someone in your family suffers from arthritis, then reading this article might benefit you. We have assembled some home remedies to ease joint pain after comprehensive research. These home remedies can help relieve those symptoms of arthritis and also improve one’s quality of life.
Change the diet
Western diet tends to be rich in fat, refined flour, and sugar which results in intestinal permeability. This condition is the one where the mucosal membrane of the intestines causes harmful bacteria to pass in the bloodstream. The body, in response to it, generates the immune system for a response to defend the body and by doing so it attacks the body’s tissues unintentionally. This is one of the main treason for arthritis development. For relieving joint pain, one must change their eating habits. This means to reverse the diet to something like vegetables, legumes, grains, and fruits.
Using cold and hot seed pads
As per one study on joint pain, applying the heat or cold has proven to be very helpful in lowering down inflammation as well as pain caused by arthritis. Heat causes the movement by improving the stiffness in joints whereas cold stimulates the release of endorphins to cause a sense of the pain-free sensation.
Temperature causes the nervous system response to be decreased down which in turn reduces the joint pain. The hot or cold pads can be made easily at home. Simply use the cotton cloth and fill it with oats, rice, legumes or corn grains, which are helpful to retain heat for a long time. This pad can then be microwave for few minutes or cooled in the freezer. Apply the heat only for 20 minutes while cold pad should only be applied for about 10 minutes.
Consuming omega-3 fatty acids
Various studies have led to the conclusion that the consumption of Omega-3 fatty acids actually helps in the reduction of the body inflammation as well as regulates the body’s natural immune system to improve symptoms of arthritis.
The omega-3 fatty acid has one more amazing function inside the human body and that is it increases the metabolism system to promote the fat burning naturally. This, in turn, causes weight loss and relieves the pressure on the body’s affected joints to reduce pain significantly.
The Omega-3 fatty aid is normally found in buts, hemp seeds, and cold water fishes such as tuna, salmon, and sardines. All these food times are also enriched with other healthy nutrients and substances which aid against inflammation.
