Winter Joint Pain Relief: Expert Tips & Home Remedies for Stiffness
- •Cold weather restricts blood flow to hands, feet, and joints, increasing stiffness and pain, especially for the elderly and those with osteoarthritis.
- •Synovial fluid thickens in cold, making movement difficult; muscle contraction and nerve pressure also worsen pain.
- •Dr. Balendra Shekhar Patel recommends hot fomentation (hot water bottle/heating pad) for 10-15 minutes to relax muscles and improve circulation.
- •Homemade pain-relieving oil: Heat garlic in mustard/sesame oil, massage onto painful areas; olive oil massage also helps.
- •Turmeric milk, soaked fenugreek seeds, ginger tea, adequate hydration, and light exercise are also effective remedies.
Why It Matters: Combat winter joint pain with hot fomentation, homemade oils, turmeric milk, fenugreek, ginger, hydration, and exercise.
