The remedies of our grandfathers how to get rid of knee pain without expensive painkillers:
Knee pain is undoubtedly very unpleasant and is most often caused by a defect in the bone structure.
In case of unpleasant pain, people often reach for painkillers from the pharmacy, but it can be relieved in a completely different way!
Knee pain can affect all age groups.
What causes knee pain?
Injury
Aging
Diseases
How does the pain manifest itself?
Like a dull sharp pain in the whole knee joint or in one place.
Stiffness of the knee joint and limited mobility.
Inflammation that can spread to surrounding tissues.
Fortunately, there are natural ways to relieve pain almost immediately!

Lard contains acids that can retain the healing substance and send it directly to the deeper parts of the skin.
Depending on which herbs you use, it treats, for example, eczema , inflammation, helps heal scars and varicose veins, and thanks to collagen, it beautifully smoothes the skin and fights wrinkles.

How to do it?
Put the lard on the fire and let it melt, when the lard starts bubbling, mix with the marigold flowers – the ratio is for 500 g lard, 1 handful of herbs.
Leave everything together on the fire for about 5 minutes, then let it sit for 24 hours.
We repeat this procedure – boiling and stopping 3 times.
Then we strain through gauze and we have a ready ointment, which we store in clean containers in a cool place.
Homemade ointment for joint pain and skin problems
We need 250 g of lard and two full handfuls of chamomile flowers.
Melt butter on fire, add chamomile and let everything boil.
Then we set aside, cover the dish and put it in a cool place for 24 hours.
The next day, warm the mixture and press it through a cloth.
Apart from chamomile, you can make these knee salves from bay leaf, horse chestnut and onion flakes.
Ointment of old honey and mustard – excellent for sore knees
We need:
1 spoon of honey
1 spoon of ordinary mustard
1 spoon of salt
1 spoon of soda
Preparation:
Just mix and apply on the knee. Wrap in foil and wrap with gauze or a scarf.
Go to bed normally and just rinse with lukewarm water in the morning.
It’s the perfect thing to do if you’re in pain right now – it works just as well as water on your knee.
If you have very sensitive skin, try it on your wrist first to see if the mixture causes you problems.
Repeat 4-5 days in a row, after which you should get rid of unpleasant pains.
If they call again, repeat this simple procedure. I strongly recommend it.
Cartilage strengthening compress
However, it is not necessary to consume it , a simple but very effective gelatin compress .
How to do it?
As usual, the gelatin is dissolved in hot water (do not boil) and allowed to soften slightly.
Then we apply it to the sore spot and let it act for 45 minutes so that the substance is completely absorbed into the skin and reaches the joint.
After 45 minutes, only a thin membrane should remain on your skin, which is a sign that the substance has been absorbed.
According to search-2.blogspot.com, this is the cheapest way to keep joints and bones in good condition until old age.
However, in our opinion, this method only works as a therapy for mechanical damage and calcium deficiency, but not for inflammatory joint diseases.
A package of gelatin is not expensive, so this method is definitely worth a try.
If you don’t use up all the gelatin, you can simply reheat it in the microwave before using it again.
