Hand joint problems can be particularly challenging. Pain and stiffness in the fingers can make even simple tasks difficult. Besides medication, patients also try to alleviate symptoms at home. One approach is to prepare a chamomile hand bath, which consists of unfiltered chamomile tea and a tablespoon of salt. Soak your hands in this solution for 20 to 30 minutes.
After soaking, the hands are massaged with chamomile cream. Finger exercises are then performed to help loosen the joints. These exercises involve clenching the fingers into a fist and then spreading them vigorously, or wiggling and shaking each finger individually. These movements help maintain the flexibility of the fingers.
Natural methods include drinking herbal infusions from various plants. The tea is made from a blend of elecampane root, goldenrod, cornflower, birch leaves, bean pods, dandelion, and hawthorn berries. It is briefly boiled in half a liter of water, then covered and left to infuse. After straining, it is seasoned with honey and consumed before meals.
These methods are easy to incorporate into everyday life and many people use them regularly for a variety of ailments.
