1. Cold Compress
Regular use of a cold compress will help reduce symptoms like pain, swelling and inflammation due to a bone spur. It will also help relax the muscles in the affected area.
- Put a few ice cubes in a thin towel and tie it securely.
- Apply the ice pack over the affected area and press gently.
- Do this for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Repeat this remedy as needed.
Note: Do not apply ice directly on the skin as it may cause frostbite.
2. Ginger
Ginger is another excellent home remedy for bone spurs. Being a natural anti-inflammatory, it can help reduce pain, swelling as well as inflammation. Moreover, it helps improve blood circulation.
- Drink ginger tea up to 3 times a day. To make the tea, boil 1 tablespoon of thinly sliced ginger in 2 cups of water for 10 minutes. Strain, add honey and drink it.
- Also, massage the affected area with ginger oil a few times daily.
- Alternatively, you can take a dose of two 500-milligram ginger tablets, 3 times a day, for extended relief and treatment. Consult your doctor first.
