Take a pair of cotton socks and fill it with rice. Now seal it. Put it in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.

If you have herbs like lavender, you can also add that to your socks and reap the benefits of aromatherapy at home!
This is an age-old home remedy which reduces the P compound, which in turn prevents the pain signals from reaching the brain. When we pop a painkiller into our mouth, the pain doesn’t exactly go away but we don’t feel it as the pain signals do not reach our brain. To make the capsaicin cream, take some red chilies and grind them with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil and make a cream. Apply this cream onto the joints. It will sting a lot in the beginning but you’ll start feeling normal after a week. Doing this 4-5 times a day will provide relief from joint pain.
This might sound insanely strange but if the joints of your hands and fingers are aching, then this is actually a very effective solution. When you dip your hands in hot water, your muscles and joints get relaxed and when you wash the utensils, your hands and fingers become active.
You just need two bowls for this. Take ice cold water in one bowl and hot water in the other one. The hot water should not be too hot for you to touch. Start with cold water. Dip the affected area in the cold water for a minute and then dip it in hot water for 30 seconds. Repeat this for 15 minutes. This will help to reduce the swelling and stiffness in the joints.
The anti-inflammatory properties of chamomile tea are very effective in relieving joint pains. Take 4 chamomile tea bags and immerse them in a cup of boiling water for 20 minutes, while keeping the cup covered. Now squeeze these tea bags. Take a clean cloth. Dip it in the chamomile water and put it on the affected area like a compress.
If the above remedies do not help, do consult a doctor.
