Tips and Tricks

An old trick that works quickly against inflammation, pain and swelling in the joints

Many people develop joint pain, tendon inflammation, and rheumatic discomfort over time, which worsens with changes in climate or physical exertion. Although there are several medical treatments and commercial products available, ancient therapies that have been forgotten over time can often provide the most effective results.

One of these treatments is a simple, low-cost natural compress that has been used for decades in home sports medicine. This old practice has been rediscovered by folks seeking immediate relief with no side effects.

How to prepare and apply the compress

  • Mixture Preparation:

In a clean container, combine all of the ingredients until they form a thick, uniform mixture.

  • Preparing the compress:

Place the paste in a small plastic bag (zip-top or firmly wrapped). Seal it tightly to prevent spills.

  • Application:

Place the bag over the problematic joint or tendon (knee, ankle, wrist, finger, etc.) and wrap it with a towel or elastic bandage to prevent movement.

  • Recommended time:

Leave it on for at least two hours. If you have significant pain or prolonged discomfort, leave it on overnight.

Why does this compressor perform so well?

Each chemical serves a specific purpose that improves relief:

  • Honey has anti-inflammatory and calming effects, which assist to relieve swelling and pain.
  • Soap: Used as a vehicle to help active substances penetrate the skin.
  • Flour: Thickens the mixture and keeps it attached to the application area.
  • Warm water increases blood circulation, promotes muscle relaxation, and provides speedier relief.

  • Swelling in fingers, wrists, ankles, or knees

Before putting the entire mixture to your skin, test it on a tiny area. Certain substances may be allergens for some individuals.

  • Do not apply the compress to open wounds or irritated skin.
  • To boost effectiveness, add light external heat (for example, a hot water bottle on the towel).
  • If your discomfort persists or worsens, see a professional.

This cure has been tested by hundreds of people, including athletes, and has proven to be more effective than several high-priced creams on the market. It naturally relaxes the afflicted tissues while also relieving pain!
