Arthrosis is a deformation of the joints that occurs in older people. Unlike arthritis (inflammation of the joints associated with infectious diseases of the body), with which this disease is often confused due to the similarity of names, arthrosis affects only the joints. Check out folk remedies for arthrosis.
Let us immediately note that the proposed folk methods for treating arthrosis require patience and time. Do not forget that the joints did not deform in one day, and salt deposits were also added to them, due to which they lost their elasticity.
For years, people passed on recipes to each other that helped patients with similar problems get back on their feet. Let's hope that the traditional methods of treating arthrosis presented in the article will also help our readers.
For arthrosis, the roots of the plant are used. In the summer - fresh roots, and for the winter they can be dried. After pre-washing, the horseradish roots are grated.

A piece of soft cloth or gauze is soaked in the resulting composition and applied warm to the affected area. You need to wrap it up and keep it warm for no more than two hours to avoid burns. It is best to do the procedure in the evening, before bed, as the compress is much more effective.
Tips for using horseradish.
It is better to grate horseradish in the air or in a ventilated area, as it greatly irritates the mucous membranes of the eyes and nose.
It should be applied to the skin no more than once a day to prevent burns. If you notice slight redness, then there is no need to worry, it will soon go away.
Do not use horseradish if you are allergic to the plant.

Even medications for arthritis and osteoarthritis most often include plant extracts that have proven effective in restoring joint function. And reviews, videos and photos of people who have improved their health further confirm the benefits of treating knee joints using traditional medicine methods.
To cure gonarthrosis, it is not enough to fight the symptoms of the pathology. Every disease has causes. And only by getting rid of the root of the problem can we hope for recovery. Pain, deformation and impaired joint mobility will disappear forever only with therapy:
Each of the 5 main causes of arthrosis can be combated with greater or lesser effectiveness. Therefore, treatment of arthrosis of the knee joint with folk remedies involves not only the use of ointments, but also complex therapy aimed at improving the health of the entire body as a whole.
Healthy nutrition is the best treatment method. It has virtually no contraindications, with the exception of serious pathologies of internal organs. In this case, you do not need to spend money on expensive medications at all.
In the case of gonarthrosis, there is a simple list of products that are prohibited for consumption. They worsen the condition of the joints or disrupt metabolic processes. Also, by changing your diet, you can enhance all regenerative processes if you add certain spices to your food and do not give up a number of foods:
It is important not only to change your diet, but also to be creative in the process of preparing food. Fried and smoked dishes, pickles are contraindicated. Therefore, it is better to stew, boil and bake food. It would also be a good idea to add bay leaves to your food more often during cooking, which relieves pain and relieves swelling of the joints, as well as turmeric or, in other words, turmeric, which restores metabolism and stimulates the production of synovial (intercartilaginous) fluid.
The easiest way to treat knees with arthrosis of the 2nd degree using herbal medicine is to use rubs and compresses with herbal infusions. The best way to relieve pain is to warm the joint. To do this, you can use cabbage leaves, wood lice or burdocks doused with boiling water. You can also use acetic acid, mustard or iodine. But the effect of using mustard plaster will be slightly different. Instead of applying heat, chemicals will help expand the capillaries. But, if the patient is in pain, mustard powder or iodine mesh will help effectively relieve the symptom.
There are other recipes for rubbing joints that hurt:
When seeking medical help, a specialist may prescribe tinctures and ointments from a pharmacy. They are also based on folk recipes. Thus, the following are particularly effective for arthrosis of the knee joint: medical bile, cinquefoil root, black cumin oil, flaxseed and fir oil. They need to rub the joints in accordance with the instructions. If you want to use the drugs yourself, it is better to consult a doctor before the first use.
Veterinary horse ointment will also help cure the disease. It is usually based on chestnut with the addition of various oils and extracts, such as eucalyptus, burdock, fir and other plants. Pharmaceutical ointments, like Aflutop, have a similar effect.
But the most common and cheapest remedy is sodium bicarbonate. Regular baking soda, mixed in a 1:3 ratio with table salt and filled with warm water, can be used for both baths and compresses. This soda solution will relieve pain and remove swelling from the area affected by arthrosis.
If the disease begins to deform the knee, you won’t be able to limit yourself to ointments that relieve pain and enhance the regenerative abilities of cartilage. An integrated approach is needed.

Honey can be an excellent substitute for tablets, injections and herbal infusions. It can be used effectively both for external use and by adding it to food. The substances contained in the sweet product have a general strengthening effect and also warm up the tissues when applied, nourishing the cells.
Traditional methods of treating arthrosis of the knee joint are not a panacea. If home remedies contain inactive ingredients, then you have to wait quite a long time for the effect. Other plants, such as cinquefoil or maclura, can do more harm than good if a person is not familiar with the contraindications before starting therapy.
Also, do not forget that there is always a chance of developing an allergic reaction to the components included in herbal infusions. Therefore, before treatment, you should always consult your doctor in advance.
While at the reception, you should also take an interest in gymnastics. Therapeutic exercise itself helps relieve all symptoms and restore normal joint mobility even with advanced arthrosis. At the same time, such gymnastic exercises have no contraindications.
The main thing is to make sure that all movements are performed correctly so as not to aggravate the condition of the cartilage tissue.
