6. Oils
Tea Tree oil, olive oil, coconut oil, and especially castor oil are all good things to take for bursitis. Remember, bursitis is about those sacs that cushion the joints becoming inflamed. These oils all have antiinflammatory properties, especially the castor oil. It really is great stuff, and it’s also not really that expensive at all. Instead of ingesting this oil, however, you want to put it on a warm rag and put that over your skin for a little while so that the oil sinks into the skin. Your skin is mostly water, and castor oil is fat, so you will have to apply the oil liberally.
7. Stretching
The right sort of low-impact stretching can be an absolutely great thing for bursitis. Remember to focus on the “low-impact” here. You don’t want to be in a gym lifting weights trying to impress members of the opposite sex. Think about some light yoga or Pilates, or even sports of gymnastics stretches that really help create some separation between the infected joint areas. This will provide some much needed relief and may also help that inflammation to die down once the blood flow is increased.
