Joint pain can be mild, causing discomfort only following certain activities.

Joints are where two or more bones meet, such as in the shoulders, elbows, hips, knees and knuckles, according to Medline Plus, the US National Library of Medicine.

Now, these can hurt and often cause pain and cause stiffness, redness and swelling, and many diseases can affect the joints, such as:

  • Lupus: This autoimmune disease affects many parts of the body and can cause joint and muscle pain. Some types of lupus often cause arthritis.
  • Sjögren’s syndrome: This autoimmune disease affects the glands that produce moisture in many parts of the body. The main symptoms are dry eyes and mouth, but it often causes joint pain as well.

Thus, it should be noted that the treatments depend on the disease, but most treatments include medications and therapies to relieve pain and other symptoms.

For this reason, the Salud180 portal revealed that the oil that works as a natural analgesic for joint pain is ginger, since it contains anti-inflammatory compounds.

In addition, the Portuguese health, nutrition and wellness portal ‘Tua Saúde’ pointed out that “Ginger also has a calming action, which improves pain symptoms in people with arthritis, rheumatism and osteoarthritis.”

Regarding its use, Tua Saúde indicated that “ginger essential oil can be used by diluting three to five drops of the essential oil in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (olive, coconut or almond) and applying it to the skin with a massage, to treat muscle pain or rheumatic pain.

He also added that “Another way to use ginger is to dilute 15 drops of essential oil in three tablespoons of milk or non-dairy milk and dissolve the mixture in a bathtub, then soak and relax for 20 minutes.”

Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggested on its website light exercise such as walking, bicycling, dancing, water aerobics, light gardening and classes. group exercise sessions, as gentle, stretching exercises have been shown to reduce joint pain.

However, since pain is likely to be felt when performing any physical activity, the CDC revealed some recommendations:

  • Until the pain improves, the physical activity program should be modified: exercise less frequently (fewer days a week) or for shorter periods (less time in each session).
  • Try to do a different type of exercise with which it stresses the joints less; for example, doing water aerobics instead of walking. Doing proper warm-up and cool-down exercises before and following exercising.
  • Exercise at a pace that is comfortable. You should be able to hold a conversation while exercising.
  • Be sure to wear comfortable shoes that fit well.

In any case, the information given above in no way replaces medical advice and therefore the first thing to do is consult a health expert so that he or she can guide the process and indicate what is most appropriate for each person. .
