Do you constantly suffer from joint pain? Are your knees, shoulders or lower back always sore? Have weak bones started making everyday movements difficult? And are you tired of taking painkillers that barely work? If yes, this may be the solution you’ve been waiting for.

Dr Salim, a Delhi-based doctor with over 20 years of experience says most joint pain treatments fail because they only treat the symptoms. He explains, “Painkillers suppress pain and swelling, but they do not repair your bones or joints from inside. It’s like covering rusted iron with tape – the damage continues silently.”

If you want lasting relief, you need to tackle the problem at its root. Strengthening your bones and joints from within is the key. Dr Salim shares a simple, natural remedy you can prepare at home using everyday kitchen ingredients.
