Any ideas on natural products to help with joint pains please. Hips, knees just about everything. Thank you x😢😢

Rosehip is a natural help for joints.

Magnesium oil spray helps my creaky knees.

Sorry I have to type fast and press reply before the page starts reloading and I lose everything

Sorry you having so much pain

Have you tried those lavender bags you can warm in microwave or over the radiator. Good for the shoulders and neck or I guess you could place over knees when sitting.

Take care Lou x

Thank you Maisie, yes I have one of those Lavendar heat bags - hurts bad today , sorry you're the same . Thanks v much look after yourself x

Great question Lou.

I too have stiffened up and it seems so easy to pull a muscle since meno.  😩

Epsom salts (magnesium again!) baths with a few drops of lavender, rosemary or frankincense EO are very soothing for joint and muscle pains.

Essential oils (good quality ones) are also very soothing and warming as a massage. I dilute them with sweet almond oil (used neat, many will irritate the skin). I find a mix of frankincense, myrrh and ginger oils work just as well as topical ibuprofen. I think the massage itself helps.

All these things help with the pain but don't prevent it. Mornings are worst for me. I'm like the Tin Man before I get going. Miserable isn't it?!

GM Everyone & Lou, ☺

I hav found tht [ TART Cherry Juice ] wrks wonders for joint pain, achy back, knees, inflammation etc- Look up its awesome benefits! You can purchase from a local Target or Rite-Aid (Sweet/Unsweet)

I personally drink 6 ounce 2x's a day. I felt results within a day & was playfully karate chopping my boys the NEXT day😉

Hope this works for you all as well!

Feel Better Soon-

Such good advice........I'm in peri meno an my neck shoulders back an elbows hurt so badly....knees have also started now.... someone told me gelatine also very good for joints....

I'm hearing good things about bone broth. Think I might try it. Think it must be organic meat though - no AB's or GMO feedstuff.

Hi and thanks very much I'll buy some tomorrow. Yes mornings are awful for me too, takes a couple of hours for me before I can stand up straight and move properly but even then it hurts. Yes it is miserable, so sorry you have it too.

Magnesium helps with that, as do flax seeds. I have fresh ground flax seeds every morning on my porridge. I also have them with live yoghurt. I use a pestle and mortar which means they are not all ground. The ones that are still whole go right through the digestive tract a bit like a brillo pad.
