An old sports trick that works fastest for inflammation, pain, and swelling of the joints: It’s been tested and works!

Cabbage contains flavonoids and mustard glycosides.

They have anti-inflammatory effects and stimulate blood circulation.

Cabbage compresses can relieve symptoms caused by osteoarthritis.

Cabbage rolls work especially well on the knees, as their skin is particularly thin there and the cabbage juice is easily absorbed.

According to a study, cabbage compresses are just as effective as pain-relieving gels or creams.

First, carefully separate the leaves, cut off the hard stem in the middle, and crush the leaves using a glass bottle until the cabbage juice appears.

Place the crushed leaves loosely on the painful joint and secure with an elastic bandage.

Let the cabbage juice sit for several hours, preferably overnight.

Make a pain-relieving cream

You can make a pain-relieving cream using mustard powder or nutmeg.

Mustard powder contains oils that help relieve pain and stimulate blood circulation.

Nutmeg can relieve symptoms of diabetic neuropathy.

To make a healing cream, mix mustard powder or freshly grated nutmeg with a little melted beeswax or petroleum jelly.

Apply the balm to the affected area with light massaging movements.

Good luck!
