Advice

Difficulty walking, stiffness, and joint pain—these are the characteristic symptoms of osteoarthritis. Anti-inflammatory drugs aren’t the only option! Natural remedies also offer long-term treatments to manage osteoarthritis and reduce pain.

Wintergreen essential oil to relieve osteoarthritis flare-ups
It is 99% methyl salicylate, a pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory substance very similar to aspirin. When used in massage, it penetrates very easily all the way to the joint
Dilute two drops in a teaspoon of neutral vegetable oil, then massage the painful area until it feels warm. Repeat twice a day for one week.

Warning: Structum is not like other medications. Read the Structum package insert carefully before ordering it. Keep medications out of the reach of children.
