Many people resort to pain killers for relief, but taking medicines for a long time can be harmful to health. In such a situation, Ayurveda provides safe and natural alternatives.
According to the Ministry of AYUSH of the Government of India and Ayurvedic experts, one can get relief from back pain to a great extent by including some easy home remedies in the daily routine. These measures not only reduce swelling but also make the body strong from within.
Massage with garlic oil
To strengthen the bones of the body in winter, you can massage with garlic oil. Garlic is considered a natural pain reliever in Ayurveda. The allicin and sulfur compounds present in it are rich in anti-inflammatory properties, which reduce muscle swelling and stiffness. For this, cook 8-10 garlic cloves in coconut oil or mustard oil on low flame until the cloves turn black. Filter the oil and make it lukewarm. Before sleeping at night, massage your back and waist lightly for 10-15 minutes. After this, applying warm water improves blood circulation and provides quick relief from pain.
consume turmeric milk
You can consume turmeric milk. Here, curcumin present in turmeric is very effective in reducing swelling and pain. Mix half a teaspoon of turmeric powder in a glass of warm milk. For better absorption you can add a pinch of black pepper and some jaggery or honey for taste. Consuming it before sleeping at night speeds up muscle recovery, increases immunity and also improves sleep. However, people who have acidity problems should keep its quantity less.
