I have used turmeric as a joint pain remedy and it has always worked for me. I usually take 1 tsp in hot milk and it relieves all forms of body pains, joint pains.
ACV, White Grape Juice

I have been taking ACV capsules for years because I do not like the taste of vinegar. They are reasonable and very effective for pain reduction. I take two in the a.m. before other natural meds or eating.
Avoid Tomatoes
Posted by RY (UT) on 09/08/2023
For around three months, I have been eating lots of tomatoes with all kinds of peppers. I basically eat a rotational diet, but occasionally get a taste for something. Although this may not be causing the leg pain, I will cease for a time to test.

Epsom Salt Soak, Hot and Cold Therapy
Posted by Alex (New Bern, Nj) on 11/13/2018
★★★☆☆
I injured my wrist. Couldn't say how, but it hurts. After 2 weeks, I went to the dr and had an xray, not broken. He said use a brace, hot/cold, and have to wait it out. Well, now it's 3 weeks later and it hurts worse than it did when I went to the Dr .I have been wearing a brace constantly except when washing, applying heat/cold periodically (can't while at work), soaking in epsom salts 2x/day and avoiding using it. What else can I do? Should I apply dmso? I have it on hand. I noticed overnight that now it has something rubbing in there if I flex my fingers (which are not held stationary by the brace). I think the dr didn't take it seriously since the first thing he asked was what was I taking for it. I don't take pain killers since I had an ulcer in the past and don't want to start that again.
Ginger Tea

I drink ginger tea every day. It helps with pain in my arms and back. I have a calcium deposit that is killing me on my left wrist. I am going to try the apple cider vinegar and magnesium.
Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM
Posted by Jacqueline (El Paso, Texas ) on 08/11/2024 24 posts
Hi Martin, I've got the same issue with my right hip and back. I found that that kind of supplement combination - glucosamine chondroitin msm, helped me also. The only problem I encountered is that it started to cause my hair to thin out and fall, in spite of my taking collagen supplements. Wondering if you had the same experience and if you found a way around this. Also if you didn't mind, would you share which brand you used and the specifics?

I was curious about turmeric, Can you make your own at home?
Does it really help ease pain? I know you can buy the pills but they are so expensive.

Olive Leaf
Posted by Todayishine (Heavenbound) on 09/18/2015
★★★★★
Let me tell you just take it and see what it can do for you. By E C writer suggestion I was taking it to strengthen my hair. When the olive leaf extract arivived I was not feeling quite to well. I had a pain on one hip and it was now starting on the other side. This pain was only there about two days when product arrived. I took a capsule 400mg in the morning and evening. The pain left right away. ln the middle of the day it tried to come back, but when I got home I took the second capsules and the pain has not returned. I will tell you this carry water with you the Olive leaf extract made me desert thirsty. It is like taking a water pill so be ready to run. I can say it healed before I knew what was wrong.
I just want to suggest that you read up on Olive Leaf and start with a low dose oleuropein percentage, I ordered a low dose by accident. it was 400 mg Olive Leave but about 1 percent oleuropein. Don't laugh, it worked. The strong dose is 20 percent oleuropein - work your way up. Oleuropein is what they say is the healing agent in Olive Leaf. You can aways by the liquid and start off with a few drops at a time to avoid a negative experience.
Anti-inflammatory Turmeric Elixir

Lots of great info in all of your posts, Om. Thank you. Could you possibly share which MahaNarayan oil you use? I think I have excess vata, as it shows up as dry skin, keratin plugged follicles and aching legs (poor circulation?). I'd like to give the oil a try. Thanks!

I also benefit from this information. Thank you.
Yesterday I luckily found a small bottle of Mahanarayan oil in an Indian grocery store. I have also been massaging my head with sesame and castor oil. I am also going to try almond oil.
I am also looking for Yograj or Kaishore guggulu. If not available, maybe I will try Boswellia-Shallaki.
Anti-inflammatory Turmeric Elixir
Posted by Avielle ( Santa Clara, Ca) on 04/15/2015
I agree about the transdermal magnesium, and have been using it for a couple of years. Magnesium saturated baths are my favorite. I believe most any and every one will greatly benefit from more magnesium. Your other suggestions are new to me... and they sound wonderful! I'm only wishing I had someone who could do the oiling for me! (wink) Is the idea of oiling to incorporate a self massage? I'm envisioning a Swedish style with long brisk upward strokes. Should the amla and turmeric be added to the oil for oiling, or should we take it internally? Is the exfoliation done dry / before bathing, or wet / after soaking? Sorry for all the questions!
Anti-inflammatory Turmeric Elixir
Posted by Om (Hope, Bc Canada) on 04/15/2015
Avielle from Santa Car, CA ---
When you use MahaNarayan Oil, other items are not necessary. But with plain sesame oil one could include Amala and or Turmeric at special times. Both these are also taken internally as you know. Honey is also a help with bitter meds.
For exfoliation it seems best after a bath and then showering. It is great for skin care and circulation. For self massage you could use also circular method with long strokes along the legs, for example. Doesn't everybody like a full massage . It is heavenly.
Amala can be included in shampoos. Wait a while when you are doing something else, then rinse.
I take both Amala and Turmeric at least twice a week to keep tissue elastic and for the many benefits. But as for all regimens one should introduce a week's pause as Ted on EC also suggests. But as in foods, I take it every time it is called for.
I hope I have answered your questions and I wish you the enjoyment of radiant health.
Namaste, Om

Bill's Remedies
Posted by Dave (Fountain Inn, Sc) on 03/31/2014
Hello again Bill,
Thank you for the update on the "hip" issue.
About the enemas .... Dr. Nick Gonzales (MD) in Manhattan, the renowned cancer doctor, has enemas as a major part of his anti cancer protocol. That comes from his mentor under whom he studies; Dr William Kelley (who was a dentist but developed Dr Beard's ideas about the use of the enzyme "pancreatin"...). But his are all coffee enemas so interesting the many variations you are going to use. Looking forward to the outcome.
Your student,
dave
Light Therapy for Pain

I just read about a study using red light therapy for pain. I would be interested in this. What is red light and how do I use it? When I google it, I get results for the other kind of red-light (as in working women), not what I wanted.

Chronic Ankle Pain Remedies
Posted by Kerry (Boston, Ma) on 08/14/2013
Dear Earth Clinic, My sister deals with chronic ankle pain. She has had this pain since she was 5 or 6, and has been to specialists numerous times, tried chiropractics, massage and reiki, with no positive effects. She did find short term relief from acupuncture (up to 2 days). She wore a brace for years, which did help but she ended up with significant muscle loss from it. About a year ago, she had a pretty major exploratory surgery with a specialist and they cleaned out debris, but did not find any major defect. The last year has been good, with very limited pain, until recently. The pain seems to be back full-force and it is so extreme she can not sleep. It hurts all the time, but the worst is sleeping and driving.
Up to this point, she has been able to resist pain killers, and I think she is pretty dedicated to living without them, but we are concerned that the pain will be too much as time goes on. She is now only 26.
With all that said, I am looking for some alternative options (more alternative then the avenues mentioned above). We have spoken about doing a cleanse (probably the Master Cleanse/lemonade diet), which we did once before and really liked. I would be interested in dietary suggestions, remedies, alternative doctors and anything else people think may be applicable. Thank you very much!

Rubbing Alcohol, Aspirin, Epsom Salt
Posted by Gillian (Andalusa, Spain) on 10/08/2013
Hi, thanks for the tips. I got mag oil and diluted it with water half and half, but when I sprayed it on the painful area, it made the pain worse.
I have taken epsom salt baths; it helps a little not much. How much epsom do you use?
I am also having bad digestive problems. My lower abdomen feels acidy and a bit painful, it is keeping me awake at night. My belly feels distended and bloated. Yesterday I had a short bout of diareah kind of dark gray watery and undigested food. I belch alot and also fart a alot.
I had taken tincture of oregano oil for low grade infection and I heard that it is very hard on the stomache.
I have been taking coconut oil, high doses of vit b, vit c and vitamin d. Any other ideas?
Thanks. Gillian
Apple Cider Vinegar
Posted by Terri (Grass Valley, Ca) on 09/18/2012
★★★★☆BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
I tried ACV and honey (2 tsp each) in water, 2X a day for joint and muscle pain. The first day it helped my knee and ankle pain almost immediately. On the fourth night I felt poisoned---hips, knees and ankle joints VERY painful, stomach bloated; limbs, face, lips tinglling. Is this cleansing, and should I continue or not? I am very disappointed as I was so hopeful.

Turmeric, Apple Cider Vinegar
Posted by Mitch (Gatineau, Quebec Canada) on 10/16/2010

My 85 year old mom has been suffering excruciating pain due to shingles (along the nerve on the back of her leg to her waist) for the past 3 weeks. The pain was unbearable and she could not sleep at all because of the pain. I could no longer bear to watch her suffer so much so I looked up this site and found turmeric and apple cider vinegar. I made 00 capsules filled with tumeric and gave her 2 capsules before going to bed last night and mixed ACV with 1 tbsp honey and made her drink it. When I came to see her this morning, she said that it was the first night she had not felt any pain in the last 3 weeks. She has become a believer in natural remedies and so have I. Thanks to everyone for your testimonies.
