News India Live, Digital Desk: The month of December has started and the cold has started showing its colors. The fun of eating peanuts under the quilt has its place, but it is also true that this season also brings with it “disaster” for many people. I am talking about joint pain. As soon as the temperature drops, the knees and waist of the elders in the house start responding. Sometimes the situation becomes such that it takes 15 minutes to even get up from bed in the morning. The pain was so severe that it seemed as if the bones had frozen. Many of us immediately run to the medical store and get painkillers. But friends, we all know that it is just a two-hour rest, not the real treatment. So let us give some rest to Allopathy today and open the treasure of Ayurveda which has been used in our India for centuries. And believe me, all this is present in your kitchen itself.1. Magic of Massage: You can call it old fashioned, but there is nothing better than this. Ayurveda says that ‘Vata’ increases in the body in winter, which causes pain. Remedy: Heat mustard oil or sesame oil. Add 3-4 cloves of garlic and a little celery and cook until it turns black. When the oil remains lukewarm, massage the painful area with it for 10-15 minutes. This warmth draws away the pain.2. Turmeric Milk: Not just for cold. When I used to get injured in childhood, my mother used to give me turmeric milk, remember? It is no less than a boon for joints too. How to take: Before sleeping at night, grind and boil raw turmeric (not powdered, it looks like ginger) in a glass of hot milk. ‘Curcumin’ of turmeric is the world’s best antibiotic in reducing inflammation.3. Fenugreek seeds are very useful. If you feel stiff as soon as you wake up in the morning, then Fenugreek seeds can become your best friend. Remedy: Soak one spoon of fenugreek in water overnight. Drink its water in the morning on an empty stomach and chew the grains. Its ‘hot effect’ provides lubrication to the knees from within.4. Change in diet is necessary. Ayurveda clearly says that if you eat curd, buttermilk or cold food in winter, the pain will not be cured. Instead of these, increase the intake of jaggery, sesame and ginger. Sesame laddus are eaten not only for taste but also to provide calcium to the bones. A small advice, do not sit at one place in winter. Even if you are indoors, keep moving around a bit. Take light sunlight to get Vitamin-D. This pain is natural, but its cure is also hidden in natural things. Try these remedies and this winter will pass without any “aah” and “groan”!
