An old trick that acts quickly against inflammation, pain and swelling in the joints
Over the years, many people begin to suffer from joint pain, inflammation in tendons and rheumatic discomfort that is aggravated by changes in weather or physical exertion. Although there are many medical treatments and commercial products, sometimes the most effective solutions are found in traditional remedies that have been forgotten over time.
One of these solutions is a natural, simple and inexpensive compress, used for decades in home sports medicine. This age-old method has been rediscovered by those looking for quick relief without side effects.
What do you need to prepare this compress?
The ingredients are accessible and easily found in any home:
- 1 tablespoon grated soap (preferably natural or baby)
- 1 tablespoon plain flour
- 1 tablespoon pure honey
- 1 tablespoon warm water
How to prepare and apply the compress
- Preparation of the mixture:
In a clean bowl, mix all the ingredients until you get a thick and homogeneous paste. - Preparation of the compress:
Place the paste inside a small plastic bag (it can be a resealable bag or a simple hermetically wrapped one). Close it tightly so it doesn’t spill. - Application:
Place the bag over the affected joint or tendon (knee, ankle, wrist, finger, etc.) and secure it with a towel or elastic bandage to hold it in place. - Recommended time:
Leave it on for at least 2 hours. In cases of severe pain or persistent discomfort, you can leave it on overnight.
Why does this pad work so well?
Each ingredient has a key function that enhances relief:
- Honey: It has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties that help reduce swelling and pain.
- Soap: It acts as a vehicle to facilitate the penetration of the active ingredients through the skin.
- Flour: It helps to thicken the mixture and keep it adhered to the application area.
- Warm water: Stimulates blood circulation, promoting muscle relaxation and faster relief.
When is it recommended to use this compress?
- Joint pain from arthritis or osteoarthritis
- Inflammation of tendons after exercise or overload
- Swelling in the fingers, wrists, ankles, or knees
- Rheumatic discomfort related to cold or wet weather
Additional tips:
- Test on a small area of skin before applying the mixture completely. Some people may have sensitivities to certain components.
- Do not use the compress on open wounds or irritated skin.
- You can apply light external heat (such as a hot water bottle on the towel) to increase effectiveness.
- If the pain persists or worsens, consult a specialist doctor.
This remedy, tested by hundreds of people, including athletes, has proven to be more effective than many expensive creams on the market. Not only does it relieve pain, but it also relaxes the affected tissues naturally!
