Home Remedies for Backache or Back Pain


Backache can be a real pain, preventing you from doing the things you want to do, as well as those you don't like doing but have to (like going to school or working). Here is a list of some Indian home remedies I have collected to make backaches and back pains go away:

Home Remedies For Treating Backaches and Back Pains

1. Lime Juice: Lime or lemon juice can serve as a pretty effective home remedy for backache. Squeeze the juice of one lemon in a glass, and add a bit of common salt in it. Drink it about two times a day. This horrible tasting but effective solution, acts to relieve back pain quickly.

2. Potato: Raw potato in the form of poultice can be a useful home remedy to treat back pain. Just crush the raw potato or cut it into fine slices, apply on the area of the back that is paining, cover with a cloth or bandage, and tie it up. After a while, the backache should go.

3. Vitamin C: Consume citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruit and lemons, which naturally contain Vitamin C. You can also have Vitamin C tablets to get rid of back pain and backaches.

4. Garlic Oil: The application of garlic oil is another effective treatment option for back pains. Just take about ten cloves of garlic, and fry them in oil, over a low flame. Let the oil cool, before applying it on the portion of the back, which is paining. For the oil, you could either use mustard oil, coconut oil or sesame seed oil. Fry the garlic cloves till light brown, do not burn or over brown them.

Keep the garlic oil on the back for around three hours. Do this everyday for around three to four days, and your backaches and back pains will soon disappear.
