Leave to infuse this infusion for one hour under the pillow. The resulting infusion should be taken 3-4 times a day in various parts before meals.

And so - until the symptoms disappear.

Effective remedy number 9: dandelions

There are two recipes at once. In the treatment of gonarthrosis with folk remedies, ordinary dandelion is widely used. In spring and summer, when this plant blooms, five leaves located as high as possible are plucked from it daily. At home, they need to be washed and dried a little, just so that excess moisture disappears. Then chew until the mass in the mouth becomes similar in texture to sour cream. And so - every day. You can stock up on dandelion leaves for the winter by drying them.

Before use, it will be necessary to fill with hot water so that they soften. This method works very well if a person exhibits motor activity. At least three thousand steps must be taken per day.

Another recipe using dandelions - only this time already the flowers themselves. They need to be torn in the summer and placed in dark glass bottles. Flowers should occupy half the capacity, and fill the rest with triple cologne. The bottles are tightly closed and forgotten about them for a month. After this time, the product is filtered and used before bedtime. You just need to rub it into the affected joints for several minutes. Store bottles at room temperature away from moisture.

Means number 10: white cabbage

The next step is to turn the vegetable into juice. It is he who we need. This will require the “services” of a juicer.

The shawl made of wool is wetted with liquid until completely saturated, and then it is applied to the affected joint. The procedure is performed before bedtime. It should be borne in mind that cabbage juice loses its properties quite quickly. Therefore, it is not recommended to store it for more than three days. And he should stand away from the sunlight.

Or you can just apply a leaf of cabbage to a sore spot. The side of it that will come in contact with the skin should be lubricated with acetic-honey solution: one to three proportions. Polyethylene is applied over the sheet, and then a wool fabric. Keep until completely dry. The course of treatment is at least thirty days.

Folk remedy No. 11: white and blue clay

One of the folk remedies for gonarthrosis involves the use of blue clay. It is necessary to dial it exclusively with a wooden or plastic spoon, because metal destroys all the healing properties. Clay is diluted with water to the consistency of a cream of medium liquid. Spread the solution on a piece of cotton fabric with a layer of about two centimeters.

The affected area of \u200b\u200bthe limb is pre-wiped with a damp cloth. Then apply a compress so that the clay is in contact with the joint. A woolen scarf or scarf is wound on top. Hold for two hours.

After removing the compress, the remaining clay is washed off the skin with warm running water. The fabric can be washed and used later. This tool is very good for edema. To remove this symptom, you need to conduct five to six procedures in a row.

Another good folk remedy for arthrosis of the knee joint this is a compress of white clay powder with kefir. They are mixed until the first ingredient is completely dissolved. They take kefir so that the mass is thick. Next, the mixture is well heated in a water bath.

The cooled solution is rubbed into the sore knee, which should then be wrapped with a waterproof diaper, and on top - an elastic bandage. It is better to make a compress before bedtime, since you need to keep it for at least seven hours. The remaining clay is washed off with warm running water. Wipe the knee with a towel, then grease with warming cream.

Juices and Vitamins

For therapeutic purposes, vitamins of group B are useful that contribute to improving conductivity nerve fibers   and a decrease in the inflammatory process. For this reason, with arthrosis, it is recommended to lean on fish, vegetables (fresh vegetable juices) and cereals.

To improve the condition of skeletal tissues, foods rich in vitamin D are added to the diet, for example, chicken eggs, butter, sardines, and mackerel. And antioxidants in the form of vitamins A, E, C.

We treat arthrosis

Arthrosis is a degenerative-deforming disease of the joint, in the process of development of which synovial fluid is deformed, articular cartilage and other articular elements are changed and destroyed.

In the treatment of this disease, in addition to eliminating pain, the main task is to stop the process of pathogenic changes in synovial fluid, destruction of cartilage and other articular elements. It is also very important to restore normal circulation in the cartilage, restore metabolism in the cartilage and synovial fluid. In addition, arthrosis is often accompanied by inflammatory processes, so they also need to be removed.

Cartilage restoration is only possible with a sufficient supply of nutrients to the cartilage. During the day, the legs lend themselves to heavy loads. If there is a lack of lubrication - synovial fluid, then the contacting bones will destroy each other more and more. Therefore, with this disease, it is absolutely necessary, among other things, to follow a diet. Sour milk products, bran, cranberries, nuts, rice, fish should be consumed as much as possible. At the same time, significantly limit or refuse fatty, fried foods, citrus fruits, white cabbage, and confectionery.

In the initial stages of arthrosis, patients usually notice frequent sensations, as if something is pulling in the articular region, sometimes the bending and extension of the leg is accompanied by a crunch, the legs quickly get tired even from mundane stresses. If arthrosis is accompanied by inflammatory processes, the patient may notice that the articular region is swollen and the body temperature has increased locally.

  • pour four tablespoons of chopped wormwood herb with boiling water so that the water only covers it, and leave for 20 minutes. After distribute the hot mass on a tissue napkin and attach to the sore spot. Fasten with gauze or bandage from above and tie a warm woolen shawl around it. Leave the compress for two hours;
  • if you feel that your legs are “pulled”, attach a sheet of fresh cabbage to the joint area before bedtime. Before use, the sheet should be slightly beaten off, and the protruding large veins should be cut;
  • with acute pain in the legs, as well as in the articular region, tincture of chestnut helps well. For its preparation, 600 grams of crushed chestnuts are poured with a liter of vodka and insisted for two weeks, while shaking daily. Rub the tincture of the sore spot in the evening before bedtime;
  • elecampane rubbing improves synovial fluid composition, helps to restore cartilage. 50 g of elecampane root, grind it and pour 130 ml of vodka. Insist in a dark place for two weeks. Rub the articular area daily before bedtime with the resulting grind, then wrap it over with a woolen cloth;

Hello dear friends! Let's talk today about deforming arthrosis of the knee joints and folk remedies for its treatment.

If you have not read my first article on the causes and symptoms of this disease, Folk remedies will be especially effective if you apply them from the very beginning of the disease, as soon as the pain began to appear. In this case, they will allow at the root to interrupt the chain of pathological changes and protect the joints from the progressive destruction of cartilage tissue.

Unfortunately, most people simply don’t pay attention at first while pain can still be tolerated. Then they complain for a long time, but do nothing. And the pathology is growing, the joints are destroyed.

When pains become unbearable, permanent, joints become deformed, motor activity is sharply limited - traditional medicine comes to the fore here: intramuscular injections with corticosteroids, chondroprotectors, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, vascular drugs and venotonics. Injections directly into the joint help very well.

Doctors recommend doing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and see what happens in the joint cavity. Are there any reserves left to compensate for cartilage, or are the joints “worn out”. From here there will be a prognosis: either continue treatment, or do surgery - endoprosthetics.

It happens that people complain: “No folk remedies help me. And doctors with their pills also do not bring relief. ” Friends! Still, the advice remains the same! First pass an examination and establish an accurate picture of the pathological process. Choose the right treatment tactics with your doctor. Then treatment will definitely help you!

Even in the late stages of deforming arthrosis, folk remedies do not lose their relevance. You must continue to use them, look for your recipe. It often happens like this - one remedy helps one, another helps. Do not despair. It is necessary to continue the search and be treated persistently.
