Home remedies for back pain
  • Boil at least 10 garlic cloves in mustard oil and let it simmer till the cloves turn black. Let the oil cool and then strain it and apply all over your back 2 times daily till your pain reduces. You can also substitute the garlic cloves with 5 clove spices or boil them together in the oil. Boil at least 100 gms of oil and use it regularly. Even after your pain subsides, you can massage your back once before going to bed at night.
  • Apply hot water bag or a heated pad to your back 3 to 4 times a day.
  • Sleep on a firm mattress and try lying straight on your back for 15 to 20 minutes before turning on your sides.
  • You an also take alternate hot and cold showers or fermentation to restore blood circulation when the pain aggravates.
  • If you are working for a long time sitting in one position, then try getting up for 5 minutes and stretch your back, hands and calf muscles.
  • Always sit straight and support your back. While sitting you can sit in an inclined position but keep changing your position.
  • Avoid bending and performing any form of strenuous manual work.
