However, you probably did not know that your favorite citrus fruit is beneficial when it comes to reducing joint pain. The lemon peel contains fragrant volatile essential oils which help in the relaxation of the blood vessels and produce anti-inflammatory effect, which makes them useful for treating pain in the joints and in the nerves.

This recipe is quite simple and really efficient, and you only need a few ingredients that you probably, or certainly, already have in your home.

These two ways are the most effective ones:

Grate the peel, making sure that you only get the yellow layer from the peel, not the white one. Then, take the peel and rub it directly on the affected body area or body part and then wrap it using a bandage, in order to hold the grated lemon peel. Let it work for up to two hours.

Or, the second way:

Place the rind of two lemons in a jar, and then add olive oil to it. Close the jar well and leave the mixture sit like that for two weeks. Then, use this oily mixture for rubbing the affected area with it. When you rub the oil, take gauze and wrap it around the affected body part treated with oil, and let it sit overnight.

Note that the lemons you use should be of organic origin.
