Natural treatment for sore neck
- Take a soft napkin, heat it and tie it around your neck before going off to sleep.
- Do not use pillows till you have sore neck. Instead, twist a soft towel and place it at the back of your neck.
Sleep straight and not on your sides for a few days. - Do not turn suddenly and move your whole body whenever you have to turn.
- Do heat massage with the help of a heating pad or hot water bag.
- Do not bend or do any strenuous exercise till the soreness lasts.
- Rotate our neck lightly in a rolling motion first clockwise and then anti-clock wise. Then move it in a shaking motion and then in a nodding motion. Do this for not more than 5 to 7 minutes.
- Sit in a chair that provides back support as the neck bone are connected to the backbone.
- Gently massage the affected area with warm comfrey oil or cream or mustard oil in which 2 to 3 cloves of garlic has been heated. Arnica ointment ca also be applied to the area.
- Try to rest neck by lying down as much as you can.
- Eat aspirin or ibuprofen for relief from the pain.
- Apply horse chestnut gel to your neck at an interval of 2 hours till the pain reduces.
