Home Remedies for Chikungunya Pain

• Garlic paste application can relieve joint pain,
• Grapes can relieve severe symptoms.
• Raw carrots can boost immune system.
• Coconut water is an effective remedy.

The most recognised symptom of chikungunya is pain in the joints. That is why it is called “Sandhi Jwara” in Ayurveda. Since no vaccine or anti-viral drug is available for prevention or treatment of chikungunya, relief from symptoms is the only option. Some effective home remedies for chikungunya pain and other symptoms can be very useful for the patients.

• Local application of garlic paste or clove oil with pepper wrapped on the painful joints for providing relief from pain.
• Chewing Ashwagandha.
• Using epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) in lukewarm bathing water mixed withneem leaves.
• Grapes taken with a little quantity of cow’s milk gives relief from some of the severe symptoms of chikungunya. Make sure that the grapes are seedless and dry.
• Eating raw carrots as salad or otherwise is helpful in increasing the immune resistance of people afflicted with chikungunya. It protects them from complications such as joint pain.
• Tulsi (Sacred Basil) leaves are given to chikungunya patients because they reduce the fever of patients and have a positive impact on immunity.
• A person should be made to drink a lot of coconut water. It is the best home remedy available for relief when afflicted with chikungunya. Coconut water does not cure the disease but it helps the patients in fast recovery. Coconut water is very good for the liver and the chikungunya virus develops there after infecting the body. Coconut water detoxifies the liver and that is helpful in fast recovery of patients.
