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.
Habits That Protect Joints From Within

Flour
Fried foods
Processed meats
Ultra-processed foods (Supermarkets)
Increase:
Garlic
Ginger
Turmeric
Oily fish

One week of good sleep can change the way you walk.
Caring for Your Knees Is Regaining Freedom
Your knees support your body. If they fail, everything becomes more difficult: walking, getting up, sleeping, even your mood.
Applying a natural oil every night isn’t just a treatment:
it’s an act of self-care, a message of gratitude to the legs that have been with you your whole life.
With consistency, patience, and healthy habits, many people have regained mobility and confidence.
It’s about walking again without fear, without stiffness, and without feeling that every step hurts.
Castor oil isn’t magic; it’s support.
It soothes pain, helps circulation, and supports tissues that wear down over time.
