5 Natural Ways to Relieve Joint Pain

Introduction

Joint pain affects an increasing number of people, especially after the age of 50. The causes can include aging, excessive strain, injuries, or inflammatory diseases such as arthritis. While medications can help during episodes of severe pain, many people seek natural solutions that act gently yet effectively — without side effects and with long-term results.

1. Light physical activity – boosts circulation and reduces stiffness

Regular but moderate movement is key to joint health. Activities such as walking, swimming, cycling, or light stretching stimulate circulation, strengthen muscles, and reduce stiffness. Even 15 minutes a day can make a significant difference.

💡 Tip: Choose low-impact exercises such as swimming or walking. Avoid activities that involve sudden movements, jerks, or heavy strain on the joints.

2. Warm and cold compresses – relax muscles and reduce swelling

Warm compresses improve circulation and relax tense muscles, while cold compresses help with acute pain and inflammation by reducing swelling.
The best effect is achieved by combining both:
➡️ 10 minutes of a cold compress, followed by 10 minutes of a warm one.

This method provides quick relief and improved joint mobility.

3. Dietary supplements with frankincense and myrrh

Frankincense (Boswellia serrata) and myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) have been used for centuries in traditional medicine. Scientific studies have shown that extracts of frankincense and myrrh have a positive effect on inflammatory processes in the joints, thus supporting better mobility.

They are most effective when taken orally, as absorption is highest in that form. An example of such a supplement is Renarthro® capsules containing frankincense, myrrh, and colostrum.

Regular use of supplements with these ingredients has been shown to help reduce stiffness, pain, and inflammation, and they are often used by people suffering from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.

4. Massage of the affected area – instant relief and a feeling of freshness

Massage improves blood flow and helps deliver active ingredients from topical preparations directly to sore or sensitive joints.

Renarthro® gel contains frankincense, myrrh, menthol, and eucalyptus – natural ingredients that together provide fast and refreshing relief.
Its unique formula creates a simultaneous cooling and warming effect, helping to:

• reduce the sensation of pain,

• relieve muscle tension,

• improve mobility.

💡 Tip: Apply the gel to the affected area 2–3 times daily using circular motions, especially after physical activity.

5. Adequate water intake and omega-3 fatty acids

Joints require sufficient hydration to stay elastic and to prevent friction between the cartilage surfaces. A lack of water often leads to stiffness and pain.

Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish, flaxseed oil, or dietary supplements) support joint health and help reduce inflammation.
It is recommended to eat fish at least twice a week and/or take omega-3 supplements from a verified source.

💡 Tip: Drink at least 1.5 to 2 liters of water daily and include fish in your diet at least twice a week.

Conclusion

A natural approach to joint care can bring long-term benefits. By combining light exercise, proper nutrition, dietary supplements, and massage with Renarthro® gel, you can ease pain and improve joint mobility day by day.

💪 Include Renarthro® in your daily routine — and move without pain!

SO HERE ARE THE THREE STEPS THAT WILL HELP DECREASE INFLAMMATION AND THEREFORE DECREASE YOUR SYMPTOMS INCLUDING PAIN:

1. Cut out processed foods.

These can come in the form of boxed or packaged items you see on the grocery store shelf or in the frozen food section. They can also be found hanging out in your work lounge- you know, the kind of food that is left in there for days (and it still looks the same). Sometimes you will see processed foods described as “fast food”. You probably know by now that fast foods are not always good for you. But did you know another hidden area where processed foods lurk are in gas station quick-stop markets? That’s where you will find hot dogs, fried burritos, and mini pizzas under the heat lamps or the pale-looking “meat” or “tuna” sandwiches that are seen in the cold food section of the store. Foods with long lists of ingredients most likely contain additives and preservatives that not only contribute to inflammation but can also make your pain receptors hyper-sensitive.

2. Exercise!

If you haven’t been very active recently, just getting out for a walk is a great start. I know it’s difficult to find time to fit some kind of activity into the day with so much other items on your to-do list. It’s so important to make a routine. Exercise helps keep your blood vessels and muscles healthy and strong. Exercising also helps you get to your goal weight. If you are carrying around extra pounds, losing weight will help decrease inflammation. When you are in pain or dealing with constant discomfort, exercise is not the first thing on your mind. I know this. But I also know the benefits of having routine exercise as part of your life. Exercise helps your body parts keep moving which decreases pain and stiffness in muscles and joints.

3. Get your R&R!

Rest and relaxation is more important than you might think for you. The opposite is stress and stress can increase inflammation. It can be challenging to get enough rest, especially if you are the caretaker for little ones, elderly parents or someone disabled. It can also be tough if you are over-worked, over-stimulated or both. Studies have shown that the sweet spot is 7-9 hours of sleep a night. It may take some planning and getting used to, but good sleep is crucial. Getting enough rest decreases inflammation and helps you be able to deal with common daily stressors with ease.
It’s also important to relax. Rest and relaxation are different. A good dose of relaxation is important to the body and soul. Relaxation can come in many forms. Most of the time it’s part of doing something that we love. Doing something we love helps to increase the “feel-good” chemicals in the brain and counteracts the inflammatory response. Make it a point to do something you love every single day of your life! This helps both reduce pain and chronic inflammation.

8 STEPS TO REVERSING AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE

What is Autoimmune Disease?

Autoimmune disease is a case of mistaken identity. In response to some kind of trigger, the immune system starts overreacting and misfiring, producing antibodies that attack the body’s own tissues instead of foreign invaders. Organs and tissue (such as the thyroid gland) can be damaged as a result. People often suffer autoimmune “flare-ups” when an inflammatory trigger causes severe symptoms to surface for a period of time. I see this most often in my Celiac clients who accidentally eat gluten, causing them severe digestive pain for days.

NEW DELHI: In a significant scientific validation for traditional therapies, India's premier medical institution, AIIMS, has found certain Ayurvedic formulations effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which causes irreversible joint damage.

"Killer heels could lead to osteoarthritis in knees," The Daily Telegraph reports. An analysis of the walking patterns (gait) of 14 women found evidence that walking in high heels puts the knees under additional strain. Over time, this may potentially lead to osteoarthritis: so-called wear and tear arthritis, where damage to a joint causes stiffness and pain.
The main finding was that wearing high heels (3.8cm and 8.3cm were tested) changed the walking gait, especially around the knee joint area.

A new pill made from rose-hip extract has been found to reduce the agony of osteoarthritis sufferers by an astonishing 90 percent.

Human trials suggest a wonder supplement called Gopo - named after a key ingredient of the plant - could provide a breakthrough for six million Britons whose lives are blighted by joint pain.

Pills containing the supplement are now available in the UK for the first time - for just 15 pence each.

Scientists said that they have proved the herbal remedy possesses special properties which can alleviate the condition in the hand especially.
