Brief Introduction

Salicin is a naturally occurring compound found in the bark of several species of trees, primarily North American in origin, that are from the willow, poplar, and aspen families. White willow, from whose Latin name, Salix alba, the term salicin is derived, is the most well known source of this compound, but it is found in a number of other trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants as well being synthesized commercially. It is a member of the glucoside family of chemicals and is used as an analgesic and antipyretic. Salicin is used as a precursor for the synthesis of salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin.

A colorless, crystalline solid in its pure form, salicin has the chemical formula C13H18O7. Part of its chemical structure is equivalent to the sugar glucose, meaning it is classified as a glucoside. It is soluble, but not strongly so, in water and alcolhol. Salicin has a bitter taste and is a natural analgesic and antipyretic, or fever reducer.

Chikungunya is spreading like an epidemic, with more and more cases being reported with each passing day.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, chikungunya is a viral infection that is primarily spread by the Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.
It is prevalent in Asia, Africa and the Indian subcontinent, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). However, it is becoming a more pressing concern in Florida and other southern states as well.
The symptoms of chikungunya start to appear three to seven days after being bitten by a mosquito carrying the virus. Symptoms may include a fever, joint pain, joint swelling, headaches, muscle pain, skin rashes, nausea, vomiting and fatigue.
Among all these symptoms, joint pain is one of the most prominent and painful. Patients may experience extreme joint pain, which can be almost unbearable and can persist for months or even longer.
There is no cure for this disease, and the after effects can be extremely troublesome. However, there are some home remedies that are considered effective in managing chikungunya symptoms, especially joint pain.
Here are the top 5 home remedies for chikungunya.
1. Cold Compresses
Using cold compresses is one of the best ways to reduce inflammation and joint pain due to chikungunya.
A cold compress offers a numbing effect on the nerve endings and slows down blood flow to the area, which in turn aid in reducing pain and swelling.
2. Massage
Massage is another simple, natural treatment to deal with joint pain associated with chikungunya.
Massage relaxes the muscles as well as reduces swelling and stiffness in the affected area. Also, it improves blood circulation.
3. Epsom Salt Soak
An Epsom salt soak can bring instant relief from pain. The magnesium sulfate crystals help reduce pain, swelling and inflammation. Furthermore, the heat of the warm water promotes relaxation and improves blood circulation in the body.
4. Turmeric
Another highly effective home remedy to alleviate chikungunya symptoms is turmeric. The curcumin in turmeric acts as a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent to help deal with the pain.
5. Ginger
Ginger contains anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties that can help combat pain and inflammation that one experiences while suffering from chikungunya. Its potent compounds called gingerols alleviate pain.
