Try the following home remedies to ease your joint pain condition -

  • Mix clove oil with coconut oil in equal proportions and rub or massage it gently over the knee area that is in pain. This will help relieve the knee pain.
  • Try to lose weight if you are above your ideal body weight.


    Excess weight puts excess pressure on your knees and can also be responsible for muscle pains. 
  • Ginger has good pain killing properties use it liberally in your diet.
  • If the knee pain is too severe then apply ice over the pain.


    Ice will act as local anesthetic and help relieve the pain by improving blood circulation.
  • Exercise. Keep yourself moving and be physically active to avoid muscles to become weak.

If other joints in the body are also in pain then consult a specialist to know the exact cause and the treatment would follow accordingly.
