The commonly shared recipe includes:
- 1 dried fig
- 5 prunes
- 1 dried apricot
The recommendation is usually to eat the mixture before bed for several weeks.
There is nothing magical about consuming these fruits at night, and there is no established two-month period after which joint or spinal tissue begins to regenerate.

The mixture can also contain a considerable amount of natural sugar and calories because drying fruit removes much of its water and concentrates the remaining nutrients.
People managing diabetes, kidney disease, digestive problems, or a potassium-restricted diet should ask a healthcare professional whether frequent dried-fruit servings are appropriate.
Why Back and Knee Pain Happens
Pain in the back, spine, or knees can have many different causes.
Common possibilities include:
- Muscle strain
- Poor lifting technique
- Prolonged sitting
- Repetitive movement
- Previous injury
- Osteoarthritis
- Weak supporting muscles
- Excess pressure on weight-bearing joints
- Irritated or compressed nerves
- Inflammatory conditions
Because the causes vary, a remedy that helps one person may do nothing for another.
Pain that keeps returning should not automatically be blamed on age, work, or body weight. A proper evaluation can help identify whether the problem comes from muscles, joints, nerves, or another condition.
