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.

DIY Halloween Bath Bombs – Spooky-Fun Self-Care for Ghouls of All Ages

If your idea of Halloween fun includes a little bubbling, fizzing magic—without the sugar crash—these DIY Halloween Bath Bombs are your new favorite trick and treat. Think spooky swirls, candy-free gifts, and a little self-care potion-making, all rolled into one bewitching bath-time delight.

These are perfect for mums who’d rather stir up a bath bomb cauldron than bake another round of cupcakes for the class party. They also make fang-tastic gifts for teens, neighbours, or anyone who needs a little seasonal sparkle in their soak.

Why You’ll Love These Spooky Bath Bombs

  • Kid-safe ingredients – No creepy chemicals here 
  • Great for gifting – Pop into mini cauldrons, treat bags, or mason jars 
  • Smells like fall – Think pumpkin spice, candy corn, or sweet orange 
  • Budget-friendly – Uses pantry staples and affordable citric acid 
  • Easy to customize – Add spiders, glitter, glow-in-the-dark mica, or even a surprise toy 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup baking soda 
  • 1/2 cup citric acid 
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch 
  • 1/2 cup Epsom salt or fine sea salt 
  • 2 tsp sweet almond oil (or coconut oil) 
  • 1 tsp water or witch hazel in a spray bottle 
  • 10–15 drops essential oil (sweet orange, lavender, cinnamon, or candy-like blends) 
  • Natural colorants or skin-safe mica powder (orange, purple, black, green) 
  • Optional: eco glitter, mini plastic spiders or Halloween charms 
  • Silicone molds or mini plastic cauldrons 

How to Make Halloween Bath Bombs

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salt. Whisk until it’s smooth and uniform—like a dusty spellbook.

2. Blend the Wet Ingredients

In a small bowl, mix your carrier oil and essential oils. Add your chosen colorant and glitter here too. If using black, go light—it can stain tubs if overdone.

3. Combine with Care

Slowly drizzle the wet mixture into the dry mix, whisking continuously. It should feel like damp sand. If it clumps when squeezed, you’re ready. Mist lightly with water or witch hazel if too dry.

4. Add Hidden Surprises

Press a small plastic spider, glow cube, or toy into the center for a trick-or-treat effect!

5. Mold It Up

Spoon the mixture into your molds, pressing firmly. Let them dry at least 24 hours before popping out.

Spooky Variations to Try

 Spider Surprise

Hide a plastic spider inside and use black mica for a creepy crawl effect.

 Pumpkin Spice Delight

Add a dash of cinnamon and orange essential oil with orange coloring.

 Glow-in-the-Dark Witch Bombs

Use glow mica and store under light for a fun bathroom glow!

 Boo Bombs for Kids

Make ghost-shaped fizzies using a silicone mold and sweet vanilla oil.

Packaging Ideas for Gifting

  • Wrap in cellophane with twine and a tag: “Drop in warm water and summon a spooky soak!” 
  • Nestle in mini cauldrons from the dollar store 
  • Use kraft boxes lined with Halloween tissue paper for classy spooky gifting 
  • Add a punny printable tag like “You’re the bomb!” or “Witch, please!” 

Tips & Tricks

  • Don’t over-wet your mixture—it can fizz prematurely. 
  • Use gloves to avoid stained fingers. 
  • Let kids help with colors and pressing (just maybe keep the glitter far away unless it’s a full moon). 

Why These Are Better Than Candy

Let’s be honest—October sugar overload is real. These bath bombs are a charming alternative that still feel like a treat. Plus, they turn your bathroom into a spa and a mad scientist lab.

Whether you’re making them for your kids’ school party, teen Halloween sleepovers, or your own pumpkin-scented peace and quiet after bedtime chaos, these DIY bath bombs are a crafty way to keep Halloween fun—and fizzy.
