Before going to sleep.

During the night, the body enters a repair phase: tissues regenerate and inflammation decreases. The skin absorbs compounds better, and rest allows them to take effect.

2. Preparation

Use pure castor oil

If it’s too thick, warm it in a double boiler until lukewarm

Optional: add

2–3 drops of rosemary essential oil

or 2–3 drops of peppermint essential oil

3. Application

Make sure the skin is clean and dry

Rub the oil between your hands to warm it

Gently massage for 10 to 15 minutes

Use circular motions, especially on the sides and back

Always massage from the bottom up to stimulate blood flow

4. Seal in the heat

Place on top:

A warm cotton cloth

A soft cloth

Or an old sock

This heat allows the oil to penetrate more deeply.

Optional: use a warm compress for 10 minutes.

The 7-Day Progress (typical results)

Many people describe a gradual improvement:

Day 1: A feeling of relief and deeper rest
Day 2: Less stiffness upon waking
Day 3: Morning steps feel lighter
Day 4: Knees hurt less when walking
Day 5: More stamina on short walks
Day 6: Climbing stairs is easier
Day 7: More steady, confident movement with less strain

Every body is different. Some notice changes in fewer days, while others require a little more. The important thing is to be consistent.

Natural Alternatives That Also Work

1. Ginger

Its compounds, called gingerols, act as anti-inflammatories.

It can be used as an essential oil diluted in coconut or olive oil for massages.

2. Arnica

Known in natural medicine for:

reducing inflammation

boosting circulation

reducing pain

Apply as a gel or oil, avoiding open wounds.

3. Turmeric with Black Pepper

Curcumin is anti-inflammatory, but it needs piperine (from black pepper) for the body to absorb it properly.

Suggested external use:

turmeric paste with warm water

a few drops of coconut oil

a pinch of black pepper
Apply for 20–30 minutes and rinse.
