1) Olive & Coconut Oil
For several of my adult years I’ve suffered with painful and aching knees.  Recently, I was told of a home remedy for knee pain that I want to share with you.  After giving this treatment a try, it really helped me.   The remedy requires taking about a half cup of olive oil or coconut oil and warming it up.  Then, massage the oil onto your knee where it is painful.  When you massage your knee; do it in circular motions.  Using oil to massage is a well known traditional approach for treating pain and aching, and the circular massaging will decrease inflammation around the knee.  This will improve the blood flow and as a result reduce the existing pain.

3) Lose Weight
If you are overweight, your knees are really going to feel that extra pressure.  It’s been said that every pound that you are overweight is equal to six times that amount of stress on your knees.  If you are 20 pounds overweight, that is equal to 120 pounds of extra stress on your knees.  The necessary home remedy for your knees in this case is to lose weight.  Diet is a logical place to start.  Also, if you are exercising; be careful of certain exercises that may stress or harm your knees.  Lastly, make sure to have good shoes that are going to be supportive and help with your knee condition.

4) Try Crutches for Awhile
If you’re suffering from knee pain; one natural remedy or approach may require you to use a pair of crutches.  In addition to other efforts, using crutches can take the weight off the knee joint until it is strong enough to bear your body weight again.

5) Ice
Ice treatment is an important home remedy for knee pain.  If your knee is injured, painful and/or swollen; applying ice is the route to take.  Ice is a great anti-inflammatory agent that will reduce the amount of blood flow along with swelling and pain.  You can take an ice pack and wrap it in a towel or use a frozen bag of peas and do the same thing.  You should try to keep it over your knee for about 15 to 20 minutes at a time.  You should repeat this process until you start to feel the pain decreasing.  If the inflammation and pain has died down; then, you can alternate between hot and cold compresses.
