Herbal dressings, ointments and decoctions can significantly improve the condition of mild and moderate osteochondrosis, and sometimes can completely replace drugs. But all operations need to be performed after consulting a doctor. After all, compared with traditional folk remedies, needing help in the acute phase is more important.
Benefits of herbal compress
Compression has a local effect on the neck, relaxes tense muscles and relieves pain caused by nervous tension. But it is necessary to know exactly the cause of the unpleasant feeling, because for some diseases, you cannot use warm bandages.
The following plants are suitable for symptomatic treatment:
- Burdock Leaf, Grind into gruel, pour into a cup of boiling water, and let stand for half an hour. After that, the solution is strained and moistened with a rag, which is planned to be applied to the neck. It is best to add a thick cloth to help keep the dressing warm.
- horseradish-Very suitable for hot compresses, but it will burn the skin. Therefore, to use plant leaves, they need to be blanched with boiling water and then rolled out until they become soft. After that, apply to the cervical spine and cover it with a thick cloth. This method can be used for no more than a week, and then rest for 3-4 days.
Consider a compression formula that must be used in the course to reduce pain and inflammation. When cooking, you need:

- 0. 05 liters of camphor alcohol;
- 0. 05 kg of mustard powder;

Dissolve the mustard in 50 ml camphor and 50 ml ethanol. After that, the egg whites are separated from the egg yolks and beaten into fluffy masses. Next, pour the protein into the mustard solution and mix well, then close the container tightly. In another container, mix the remaining ingredients until a uniform consistency and cork. Put the two bowls in a dark, cool place for 12 hours.
It takes 12 days to use folk remedies to treat cervical osteochondrosis. It takes three days to compress the first piece and the second piece alternately. It should be applied to unwound skin twice a day.
Application of friction
For the manufacture of friction, you can use any method that does not harm your skin. In most cases, this type of ointment is designed to heat the tissue. Treating cervical osteochondrosis with folk remedies can improve blood flow.

It is important not only to properly prepare funds and monitor their safety, but also to rub the neck so as not to increase the pain. Therefore, you need to master the self-massage technique for osteochondrosis.
Can plants be taken internally?
Osteochondrosis is an internal disease. For its treatment, it is best to use a comprehensive method that absorbs useful substances from the inside. For this, you can use:
- A mixture of garlic and lemon-Grind 300 grams of lemon (remove the seeds, but leave the peel), then add 4 (not cloves) crushed garlic to the dough. Stir the gruel and cover with warm water (1. 5 liters) and place in a closed pan overnight. Take 100 ml of the solution on an empty stomach in the morning.
- Aloe Vera and Radish Mix-Prepare the juice and choose the ratio of ingredients to be tasted. Drink 200ml at night. In order not to stop drinking because of the unpleasant taste, you need to add a teaspoon of honey, which is also useful for osteochondrosis.
- Pine budMix the sugar 2 to 1 and place it in a cool, dark place until the mixture turns brown. Take 1 teaspoon. Before each meal.
Before taking different infusions, you need to understand whether their ingredients are not dangerous to medical diseases.
The right conditions during treatment
If the cause of its appearance is not eliminated, it is impossible to feel good about osteochondrosis. Treating cervical osteochondrosis with folk remedies can only relieve pain and stimulate body regeneration, but efforts are needed to help the neck recover.
It should be noted:
- Go to the workplace-The most common cause of neck problems is improper body posture, that is, the lower back is not properly arched. In order to compensate for this, the cervical spine has to be bent. This creates a load on the two parts of the spine, so you can't be stingy in arranging work areas.
- It is important for the driver to adjust the seat position correctly in order to relax the back muscles while driving. Usually when a novice is driving a car or the car is driven by several drivers, if a short trip is required, people will ignore the adjustment space. This is not only because of the increased risk of injury in accidents, but also because of the increased load on all parts of the spine.
- Increase physical activity-Lack of exercise can cause blood vessels to be squeezed, which leads to cellular malnutrition, which leads to damage to the intervertebral disc. For office workers, get up and do a short warm-up at least every 40 minutes. This will relax muscles and restore blood circulation, thereby improving health and increasing productivity.

The more points you observe, the better your back and neck muscles will recover, which will allow the spine to occupy an anatomically correct position. Because of this, the pressure on the intervertebral disc will be reduced, and the symptoms of osteochondrosis will also be reduced.
