Bones and Joints
Morning stiffness, strain from sport or simply the years – joints and bones deserve attention at any age. In this category we have selected herbs for joints and the musculoskeletal system that folk medicine has traditionally used to support mobility and general wellbeing.
Urtikatrin is a nettle leaf tincture – one of the most widespread Bulgarian herbs, rich in minerals and familiar from grandma’s kitchen as a spring soup. Betula contains birch bark, which is traditionally associated with water balance and cleansing. The category also includes Sambutsin with elder berries.
If you enjoy herbal tea, choose dried nettle leaf or madder root – a herb with a long history in Bulgarian folk medicine. Nettle infusion is easy to make and pleasant to drink throughout the day.
For healthy bones and joints, the most important things remain exercise, maintaining a normal weight and food rich in calcium, vitamin D and protein. Herbs can complement these habits, but do not replace them. If you have severe or persistent pain, a swollen joint or an injury, see a doctor. If you are expecting, breastfeeding or taking prescribed medicines, seek medical advice before use.
