Martha's Knees

Martha, 58, is very distressed because she can't bend her knees, the pain is very intense and unpleasant, she can hardly move, the pain she sometimes causes leaves her prostrate, she has already seen her doctor.

Martha: Doctor, doctor, my knees hurt so much.

Doctor: Martha, the legs are the support of the human body, there the whole weight of a person rests, that's why the cartilages of the hips and knees begin to wear out, with the years, the doctor proceeds to indicate treatment for the pain.

As the days go by, the pain calms down but does not solve the problem, when the treatment ends the pain persists and becomes stronger and stronger, Alicia, a friend of Martha's, comments.

Martha, my grandmother took a powerful herbal remedy that completely regenerates the cartilage, taking it for a very short time, I will explain to you so you can do it alone, using the mixture of a tablespoon of Sage, rosemary, thyme, mint or mint, plus a liter of water.

Bring the water to the boil and add the herbs, after 5 minutes remove them and let them rest for 20 minutes, then take them to the refrigerator. You will take this drink twice a day, once on an empty stomach and once before bedtime. This will be enough to eliminate the pain from your joints. Do it and drink it with much faith.

After 15 days Martha visits her friend Alicia and thanks her for feeling like a girl of twenty years old, until she was invited to do yoga, which she had stopped practicing for years.
