Hello,

I've got a painful knee which has slowly got worse. I didn't want to go to my GP due to Covid-19, because I feel that the NHS has enough going on without me adding to it. So I've tried medications I've bought from the chemist plus resting my knee as much as possible. Still no improvement. Then I was told about Quarkwickel. An old German remedy for all sorts of inflammations. I was very sceptical because I couldn't see how this is supposed to work, but at my wits end I thought I'll give it a go. It has no side effects and it is cheap. I've put a finger- thick layer of Quark (fromage frais) onto my knee straight from the fridge. Wrapped clingfilm around it and then a tea towel over the top. I left this on the joint for about an hour, but it can be left in place much longer. I loved the nice cooling effect from the start. After an hour I took the towel and clingfilm off and rinsed my knee in the shower. I couldn't believe the improvement the next morning. The swelling was gone, movement has improved and the pain was a lot less! Apparently the bacteria, enzymes and low PH of Quark draws the toxins and water out of the joint allowed a good blood flow aiding the healing. Plus it reduces the inflammation. It really works!!! Keep doing this until it is all better. 😃

I found Quark to buy in the UK at ASDA in the cheese isle for only £0.79 per tub. I was so excited about this newly found old treatment that I just have to share it. I hope this will help others with inflamed joints. 😃

    Wow!!! I've used generic diclofenac for decades when I get a touch of bursitis or lower back pain plus when I was recovering from a knee replacement. Three times a day does the trick. Now I have to look for this funny remedy. Thanks...

      Thank you for your reply. I've tried over the counter medications for 5 weeks now and my knee didn't improve, but with Quark it does! I am surprised and baffled to be honest. Didn't believe that it could help when it was recommend to me at first. 😊

    I have also used castor oil with my knee wespoed with plastic wrap. Apply heat for about ten minutes. and I sleep with the wrap on. Feel so much better in the morning. Also heard that taking it daily by mouth helps with inflammation through the whole body.
