Joint Pain: Grandmother’s Remedies That Offer Natural Relief

Joint pain, which may stem from osteoarthritis, rheumatism, inflammation or repeated strain, can cause stiffness and discomfort during movement. Cold weather and reduced physical activity may worsen the discomfort, although research does not always establish a direct link between weather and pain levels. Traditional remedies mentioned include blackcurrant leaf infusions, meadowsweet and gentle massages with arnica gel. Meadowsweet contains salicylate derivatives and is not recommended for people allergic to aspirin.
