Reasons behind getting affected by arthritis include age increasing joint wear and tear, obesity putting weight on the joints, such as hips and knees, genes making you liable to arthritis, and lifestyle choices such as a sedentary lifestyle and little to no exercise.

Ayurvedic Home Remedies to Treat Arthritis

Mustard Seeds: Acharya Balkrishnaji suggests, “Grind mustard seeds and mix in a little turmeric. You may add oil — such as mustard or coconut oil — to the mixture. It is highly beneficial for those suffering from arthritis. For cases of paralysis, if you grind the mustard seeds into an extremely fine powder and massage it onto the body, it proves very effective. You can apply it dry on areas with little body hair or mix it with a little oil for areas with more hair; this is highly beneficial for conditions like arthritis and paralysis.” Patanjali Khubkala Hedge Mustard Seeds (50 Gms) are a premium-quality seed perfect for this remedy.

Turmeric Milk: Turmeric helps with lowering arthritis symptoms. Its compounds, especially curcumin, help reduce arthritis pain and inflammation and ease stiffness. Add half a teaspoon of turmeric to a glass of warm milk. Drink it at night to lessen pain and inflammation. Add Patanjali Turmeric Powder (20 Gms, 100 Gms, 200 Gms and 500 Gms) to the milk for treating arthritis issues.
