Apart from curing a minor headache to strengthening gums, these home remedies are simple, easy-to-follow and wont drill a hole in your pocket.

SUNLIGHT TO REDUCE PAIN 
      
           The closed-room air-conditioned work space relives us from the excruciating heat, but also deprives us of sunlight - a natural and potent source of Vitamin D3, a nutrient that is essential for the growth of healthy shock-absorbing joint cartilage and for preventing painful inflammation inside muscles and joints.
   The lack of Vit D3 cause bone pain, especially in the  pelvic, back and thigh region. But Doctors say, getting 15 minutes of daily sun exposure (without sunscreen) can cut your risk of developing joint pain by 67%. Exposing yourself to the sun can also slow the progression of arthritis, and erase muscle aches within three months. 

     However, if you're rarely outdoors, cod lover oil supplements and consuming multivitamin tablets that include 800 to 1000 units of vitamin D3 can also prove to be beneficial. say medical experts.
