Natural Remedies for Backaches

A bad movement, lying down in a certain way, or lifting heavy things incorrectly can cause an annoying back pain. Generally, this pain is treated with ibuprofen and naproxen sodium because they eliminate the inflammation and ease the pain. However, there are also natural remedies that can be useful.

Cabbage cataplasm - 1 natural fiber cloth, several outer leaves of a cabbage. Put the leaves of cabbage in the oven to warm. While still hot, place leaves on the affected area and put the cloth on top to keep the heat. Keep it there for an hour and repeat with new leaves.

Exercises to relax the back
* Put a ball between your back and the wall. Flexing knees up and down, roll the ball. Repeat until you feel the relaxation in the back.

*Lying down on the floor, take a knee and press the thigh to the chest. Hold this position a few seconds and repeat with the other leg.

Cold and hot - Wrap a few ice cubes in a towel and apply to the affected area for 20 minutes. home-remedies-site.com Apply several times during 48 hours. Then use heat.

For lower back pain - You will need the help of someone for this one. Secure a coin under a candle using the candle's wax. Lie down and ask the other person to place the candle on the affected area and light it up (being careful not to burn you). The person then puts a glass on top of the candle so that it leaves no oxygen for the candle to keep burning. The candle will go off and the skin will rise. The person moves the glass around the affected area until it can be lifted without causing any discomfort. Repeat until back pain is relieved.
