5 Natural Remedies For Bone And Joint Pain

April 2, 2018 by Shellie Wilson 1 Comment

Can’t seem to get rid of that constant body ache even though you’ve been eating the healthiest of
foods and getting enough sleep and are doing everything right? You’re not alone. Millions of
people around the globe are facing bone and joint issues today, and if you’re looking for some
natural remedies to tackle those, here’s a little help.
Keep reading to discover the 5 best natural remedies to reduce bone and joint pain.

Epsom Salt Soak (DIY Recipe Here)
This one’s the classic natural remedies for joint and bone pain, and that’s because it works super
effectively. Epsom salts get absorbed into the skin very easily, and just adding a couple of cups of
it to a bath of water and soaking in it for 20 minutes can work wonders in providing you relief
from joint pain.

Exercise  and  Movement
Exercising may not exactly be on your mind when your joints are aching, but more often than
not, they are actually aching because they’re stiff due to lack of activity. Regular exercise can
actually help strengthen the muscles and bones by improving circulation. It just takes a lot of
effort to get out and exercise one time, but once you do it, there’s no coming back- that’s just
how amazingly effective it is.

Alternating Hot and  Cold Packs (DIY Pattern Here)
For immediate relief from joint pain, alternating hot and cold compresses can help. Placing a
hot compress for 20 minutes followed by a cold ice pack for 20 minutes can help provide instant
pain relief. If you can’t seem to stand how cold the ice is, you can let it thaw and apply a cool
pack as well- it’ll help relieve any joint stiffness.

Diet Modifications
One of the best ways to bring about long term changes to your bones and joints is to implement
certain dietary modifications. Most of the time, bone and joint pain occurs due to chronic
inflammation, which in turn, causes degeneration of tissues. Sticking to a diet rich in anti-
inflammatory foods can gradually help you start seeing a reduction in joint pain.

Herbal Teas
Sipping on herbal teas, specifically ginger and turmeric tea, can also help a lot when it comes to
reducing joint pain. Both of these are powerful anti-inflammatory agents that can help calm
down inflammation and reduce bone and joint pain in the most natural way possible.

    Increasing evidence shows that inflammation is at the root of most, if not all, disease. If you’re already a daily green smoothie drinker, you’ve probably wondered if there’s an anti-inflammatory smoothie you can drink that will help to keep this dangerous condition at bay. The good news is that not only is there one anti-inflammatory smoothie recipe – but there are several, and they’re all easy to incorporate into your roster of recipes for healthy green smoothies.

Pumpkin Pie Melt and Pour Soap: A Cozy Fall Soap Recipe That Smells Good Enough to Eat

When the leaves start crunching underfoot and pumpkin spice fills every café, it’s time to cozy up with an easy fall DIY that smells just like grandma’s dessert table—without the calories. This Pumpkin Pie Melt and Pour Soap is one of my absolute favorite seasonal recipes. It’s warm, comforting, and gives off those straight-out-of-the-oven vibes every time you lather up.

Perfect for fall craft fairs, Thanksgiving hostess gifts, or a festive bathroom refresh, this handmade soap smells divine, looks adorable, and takes less than an hour to whip up.

Why You’ll Love This Pumpkin Soap Recipe

  • Smells like real pumpkin pie (think cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla—yes please!) 
  • Made with skin-friendly melt and pour base—no lye required 
  • Easy enough for beginners or weekend makers 
  • Customizable with layers, swirls, or “whipped cream” topping 

Ingredients & Supplies

Yields: 4–6 small bars depending on your mold size

  • 1 lb goat milk melt and pour soap base (or shea butter base) 
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (yes, the real baking blend!) 
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional for visual specks) 
  • 1 tsp vitamin E oil or sweet almond oil 
  • 1–2 tsp brown mica or orange soap-safe colorant 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional for scent depth—make sure it’s oil-based or use a fragrance oil blend) 
  • Pumpkin pie fragrance oil (skin-safe, approx. 1–2 tsp per pound of soap base) 
  • Rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle 
  • Silicone soap mold (round, square, or pie-slice shaped) 
  • Microwave-safe jug or double boiler 
  • Stirring sticks or silicone spatula 

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Chop and Melt the Soap Base

Cut your melt and pour soap base into small cubes and place in a microwave-safe jug. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each round until fully melted. (Do not let it boil!)

2. Add Scent and Spice

Once melted, stir in your fragrance oil, pumpkin pie spice, and optional vanilla extract. Add a pinch of cinnamon if you like the flecked look.

Tip: Spray your mold lightly with rubbing alcohol before pouring to prevent bubbles.

3. Colour and Pour

Add your mica powder or orange colorant, a little at a time, until you reach your ideal pumpkiny hue. Stir well, then carefully pour the mixture into your soap molds.

Immediately spritz the tops with rubbing alcohol to remove surface bubbles.

4. Let It Set

Leave the soap undisturbed at room temperature for 2–4 hours until fully hardened. Pop the bars out of the mold once they’re firm to the touch.

Optional: If you’re feeling fancy, melt a small amount of white soap base and pipe a “whipped cream” swirl on top using a piping bag and star tip.

Tips & Variations

  • Make it two-tone: Pour half your batch in orange, then top with a creamy vanilla layer for a pie-slice look. 
  • Add oatmeal: Toss in 1 tsp of ground oats for a gentle exfoliant and rustic charm. 
  • Use pie molds: Silicone molds shaped like pie slices or tart pans give these a dessert-style finish. 
  • Gift-ready idea: Wrap in wax paper, tie with twine, and add a “Pumpkin Pie Soap” tag for instant fall gifts. 

How to Store Homemade Soap

Keep your finished soaps in an airtight container or shrink wrap them if you’re gifting. Melt and pour soap can sweat in humid climates, so cool, dry storage is best.

This DIY pumpkin spice soap recipe is everything you want from a cozy fall project—easy, fragrant, and irresistibly cute. Whether you’re new to soap making or a seasoned maker prepping for a market table, these little bars will have everyone asking, “Where’s the whipped cream?”
