Research proves that the aromatherapy treatments are the most effective way to relive joint pains and arthritic pain issues. Renowned Aromatherapist & Founder of Chase Aromatherapy Cosmetics, Dr. Naresh Arora shares with PEAKLIFE different ways in which you can do such aromatherapy treatments at home.

Having joint pains/ arthritic pain should not be taken as a sign of age (old age syndrome). Even, the youth and middle age people have lately reported increasing tendencies of having Joint Pains. Movement of Muscles and Bones does not mean increasing wear and tear of Joints but it might be a deficient supply of vital nutrients and laxity of nervous tissues too.  Deficient absorption of Vital Calcium and Magnesium depends on Vitamin D in our body. If Vitamin D is deficient in our body, even the medicines we take might not get absorbed into the blood circulation and shall not provide the cure in time.

A human skeleton is the main inner structure of a human body. The skeleton is supported by 206 bones; with those bones, a human body moves. Some bones in our body have joints; Joints help us to move our body freely. Joints are the most important body part which connects the bones. There are 5 main joint connections in our body, which are – 1) Shoulders, 2) Elbows, 3) Wrists, 4) Hips, and 5) Knees. Joints connect one bone to another and help us to support our whole body. So, even a small harm to a joint is really harmful to our body. It can cause a lot of pain if any joint meets an injury.

Joint pain can happen for many reasons. In recent days this is one of the most talked about diseases in the country. People get affected by the joint pain just after crossing 35-40 years. The severity of joint pain utterly depends on the injury caused by the affected ligaments or atriums neighboring the joint; it can harm the Ligaments, Cartilage, bones surrounding the joint.
