  • Yoga

People who are continuously engaged in sport activities like running and cycling usually complain about developing backaches after a certain period as these activities puts a lot of pressure on your spine. So, instead of just running to your physician, you can cure it at home just by practicing some simple yoga postures everyday for at least 75 minutes. This will not only help you get rid of your pain but continuous practice will also make your spine stronger to withstand pressure in the future. Therefore, daily yoga practice not only cures your pain but also prevents you from being injured in the future too.

  • Swimmer’s ear

Most of the swimmers often have to deal with ear infections because of maximum exposure to water. The natural wax in our ears helps in maintaining a perfect pH balance, which prevents harmful bacteria to infect that part, but if our ears are frequently exposed to waters then it loses a large amount of natural wax, which disrupts the pH balance and therefore, makes it prone to bacterial infection. However, a few drops of white vinegar can not only easily kill all your ear germs but can also rid you of the infection without even making a trip to the ENT specialist.

  • Muscle cramps

Getting muscle cramps is another common problem associated with sport activities, which is often caused by dehydration, poor blood circulation and slow digestive systems. However, you can get over this problem by simply fixing yourself a new and healthy breakfast daily and save yourself from the trouble of visiting your physician. So, all you need to include in your new breakfast is a bowl of cereal, low-fat milk, along with one tablespoon of cinnamon and ground flaxseed.

  • Blisters

Engaging in sports activities often results in blisters and applying petroleum jelly over it can give you temporary relief but it fails to repair the damaged tissue. However, rubbing a medicinal flower ointment called calendula over your blisters and then covering it with a dry bandage helps in reducing inflammation and allows speedy recovery.

Acupuncture is a great alternative treatment for treating knee problems as it increases certain hormonal levels of serotonin, endorphins and cortisol, which helps in reducing both pain and inflammation largely. Moreover, acupuncture also doesn’t involve any side-effects and so, you can take this treatment without having to worry about any possible side-effects in the future.
