Osteochondrosis and joint-related issues have become very common today. From my own observations, I believe one of the biggest reasons is our modern sedentary lifestyle. My 25-year-old son, for example, spends the entire day sitting in front of a computer. It never even crosses his mind that the body needs regular movement to stay healthy. Unfortunately, this is the case for most young people — they sit for hours, day after day, without any physical activity. As a result, they sometimes develop lower back pain, joint discomfort, or even stiffness in the neck.

A few years ago, I decided to help him. I prepared the same herbal remedies that had cured my own joint pain many years ago. These natural treatments brought me lasting relief and helped me avoid pain medications and medical procedures.

First Stage: Herbal Decoction for Pain Relief

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons of fresh capueta roots (a plant often used in traditional remedies)
  • Water
  • 2 tablespoons of licorice root, finely chopped

Instructions:

  • Wash the fresh capueta roots well and place them in a pot. Add just enough water to cover the roots.
  • Bring to a boil and simmer for about one minute.
  • Drain the liquid completely — it will be too bitter to consume at this stage.
  • Chop the softened roots finely and place them back in the pot.
  • Add 700 ml (about 3 cups) of fresh water.
  • Simmer until the water is reduced to about 500 ml.
  • Add the chopped licorice root, cover the pot, and allow it to cool naturally.
  • Strain the decoction and store it in a glass container.

How to use: Drink the decoction throughout the day in small portions. The treatment course lasts three weeks.

Rest Period and Second Stage

After completing the three-week course, take a two-week break. During this time, let your body rest from the active treatment. Then prepare the second herbal infusion to further support the joints, spine, and overall mobility.

Ingredients:

  • Equal parts of:
    • Mint leaves
    • Horsetail herb
    • Nettle leaves
    • Tricolor violet (wild pansy) herb
    • Dandelion aerial parts
    • Yarrow herb

Instructions:

  • Mix all the dried herbs together in equal proportions and store in a dry jar.
  • For each serving, take 1 tablespoon of the herbal blend and pour 250 ml (1 cup) of boiling water over it.
  • Cover and let it steep for 20 minutes.
  • Strain and drink.

How to use: Drink half a cup of this infusion 2–3 times a day. This will help strengthen your bones and joints, reduce inflammation, and improve overall mobility.

My Personal Experience

After finishing this treatment years ago, my joint pain disappeared completely. But the biggest change came when I decided to alter my lifestyle. I started walking more, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and never avoiding tasks that required physical effort. At first, it was difficult. My body wasn’t used to such movement, and I felt tired quickly. But over time, I adapted — and I grew to enjoy walking long distances.

Now, as I approach 60, I feel as energetic as I did in my thirties. I can walk for hours without fatigue, I sleep better, and I rarely experience any pain in my back or joints. I even treated my son using the same method, and he also reported significant improvement. Unfortunately, he still struggles with the habit of sitting too much — and that is something medicine alone cannot fix.

The Lesson: Movement Is Life

This remedy works, but for truly lasting results, you need to combine it with an active lifestyle. If you allow your body to remain motionless for hours every day, diseases will return with greater strength. Movement keeps the muscles flexible, improves blood circulation, nourishes the joints, and maintains the spine’s natural alignment.

If you are suffering from joint pain, stiffness, or osteochondrosis, my advice is simple:

  • Try this natural treatment to relieve your pain.
  • Make movement a daily habit — even a 30-minute walk can make a big difference.

You’ll thank yourself later.

Doctor’s Commentary

Capueta is a plant that typically grows in rocky, thin-layered soils and is often used as livestock fodder. It is a perennial plant with creeping, branched roots, which are harvested in spring. The roots contain a polysaccharide called triticin, known for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. In traditional medicine, capueta roots are used to treat joint and spinal conditions such as osteochondrosis, arthritis, and neuralgia.

Licorice root, another key ingredient, is well-known for its anti-inflammatory, immune-supporting, and antioxidant effects. When combined with capueta, it enhances the remedy’s ability to reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness.

The second herbal blend — mint, horsetail, nettle, tricolor violet, dandelion, and yarrow — works as a tonic for the musculoskeletal system. Mint has a cooling, soothing effect on inflammation; horsetail supports bone and cartilage health; nettle is rich in minerals like calcium and magnesium; violet has detoxifying properties; dandelion improves liver function and helps flush out toxins; and yarrow reduces inflammation and improves circulation.

Final Thoughts

Natural remedies like this one have been passed down for generations because they work. They may not provide overnight results like synthetic painkillers, but they address the root cause, improve overall health, and help restore mobility without damaging side effects.

If you commit to both the herbal treatment and an active lifestyle, osteochondrosis and joint problems won’t control your life. You can regain the freedom to move without pain — and enjoy it for many years to come.
