Introduction
Joint pain can disrupt daily life, making even simple tasks uncomfortable. While modern medicine offers relief, many are turning to natural remedies for gentle, effective alternatives. One such remedy involves a surprising yet powerful duo—onion and banana. This combination brings together the anti-inflammatory properties of onions with the potassium-rich, soothing nature of bananas. This article walks you through a natural, home-based approach to alleviating joint pain using these two common kitchen staples.
Ingredients
1 medium red onion (preferably organic)
1 ripe banana
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for enhanced absorption)
½ teaspoon turmeric (optional, for added anti-inflammatory effect)
Instructions
Peel and grate the red onion into a fine paste using a grater or food processor.
Mash the banana thoroughly in a bowl until smooth and lump-free.
Combine the onion paste with the mashed banana in a clean bowl.
Optional: Add olive oil and turmeric and mix until evenly blended.
Apply the mixture directly to the affected joints in a thick layer.
Cover the area with a clean, breathable cloth or bandage.
Leave it on for 30–45 minutes.
Rinse off gently with warm water and pat dry.
💡 For internal use (if your doctor approves): Blend the same ingredients and consume 1 tablespoon daily for a week to potentially ease inflammation from within.
