Hydration Secrets: What Dehydration Does to Your Joints and Nerves

Did you know that not drinking enough water can hurt your joints and nerves? Many people think water is only important when they feel thirsty, but your body needs it all the time—especially to help you move and feel good.

Let’s look at how staying hydrated can help you feel better and what happens when you don’t drink enough water.

Why Your Body Needs Water

Your body is made mostly of water. It helps your heart beat, your brain think, and your body stay cool. But it also helps your joints and nerves work the right way.

• Your joints (like knees and fingers) have a special fluid that helps them move smoothly. This fluid is mostly water. If you’re low on water, your joints can feel stiff or sore.

• Your nerves send messages from your brain to your body. They need water to send these messages quickly. Without enough water, your nerves may send slow or mixed signals. This can make you feel numb, tingly, or even have shooting pain.

Signs You May Be Dehydrated

You might not feel super thirsty, but your body still needs water. Some signs of dehydration are:

• Feeling tired or dizzy

• Having dry skin or lips

• Muscle cramps or joint pain

• Trouble focusing

Try to drink water all day, not just when you're thirsty. A good goal is to drink half your body weight in ounces of water each day. For example, if you weigh 140 pounds, aim for about 70 ounces of water.

A Special Ingredient for Joint Support

At Aromalief, we use seaweed-extracted chondroitin in our creams that collected from the Baltic and North Seas. It's also what gives our creams our beige color. 

• It comes from sea plants, not animals like the bones of cows and pigs or shellfish

• It helps keep your joints soft and flexible

• It works with water to make your joints feel better

This is a clean, plant-based way to support your joints, and it’s found ONLY in our Aromalief pain relief creams.

Drink Water + Use Cream = Feel Better

Water is important, but sometimes your body needs extra help. That’s why Aromalief Pain Relief Cream combines natural ingredients like chondroitin, MSM, menthol, and plant oils to help calm joint and nerve pain from the outside.

Together, drinking water and using a soothing cream can make a big difference in how your body feels every day.

Quick Tips:

✅ Keep a water bottle with you
✅ Eat water-rich foods like watermelon and cucumbers
✅ Use Aromalief cream morning and night for extra relief

Aromalief is a family-owned business that started in 2017 to help our founder's mom find a more natural way to relieve pain.
