The meniscus is a cartilage tissue that forms part of the knee joint . All structures composed of cartilage enjoy a lot of flexibility due to the large percentage of water that composes them.

Although they may appear to be delicate tissues, on the contrary they possess great resistance , in fact it is no coincidence that mother nature has inserted this tissue inside the most complex joints in the extremities of each bone. It guarantees flexibility and works as a real shock absorber that protects the bones from fractures and wear.

Like any part of our body, if you have a healthy lifestyle both from a dietary and physical point of view, the cartilage tissue is a tissue that constantly regenerates itself .

Let’s see how we can facilitate healing of the meniscus in a natural way .

Naturally heal the meniscus 

Often faced with any physical problem, due to a hectic and responsible lifestyle, people do not find the time to stop or slow down their pace of life to facilitate healing.

Although the meniscus has a very fast repair system due to its aqueous composition, it needs time and listening to be able to carry out its natural repair process .

The signals that this cartilage tissue sends to our body are pain, noise inside the joint , sudden twinges during movements and in the most serious cases it imposes a real block of the knee often presenting swellings containing liquid.

Liquid, for example, although we are used to interpreting it in a negative way, is generated by the body for several reasons. In fact, these substances contain innumerable nutrients aimed at facilitating the recomposition of damaged tissue . It is no coincidence that when people wait for the natural path of disposing of these liquids, they go through a slower healing process but with results that persist over time.

In less severe cases, when there is noise accompanied by a slight pain inside the knee , it can mean that some small fragments of the meniscus have separated due to some impact or violent movement.

In that case, in addition to rest, an excellent and very effective self-therapy to do is to leave both hands placed on both sides of the knee as if to wrap it and hold them for at least 40 minutes. The natural warmth of our hands, in balance with the rest of the body, will help the different repair systems that have put to work in the injured area . This simple and natural technique can be abused, has no side effects and the positive ones, if done consistently, are almost immediate and highly effective.

Another simple remedy is to put on an elastic band that does not tighten (so as not to block the natural repair systems), but which increases the sensation of the movements we make during the walk just a little. In this way we have the possibility to listen more carefully to every movement of the joint, thus allowing us greater delicacy and listening at every step. 

The walk for the meniscus

Walking slowly and correctly is another simple, economical technique, which does not go hand in hand with a hectic life, therefore, in addition to healing the knee by bringing it back to its natural position, it can be a good opportunity to experience walking in a relaxed way. and listened . Thus bringing multiple positive effects also to our mind. 

These are some of the natural remedies aimed at healing the meniscus or any joint. T he rest, listening and the natural warmth of the hands represent the natural cures that each person can implement with himself obtaining great results.
