Abstract	This systematic review explores existing literature on the management of pain in arthritis, the use of hot applications as non-pharmacological interventions, and specifically the role of rock salt hot application. The review is structured into three sections: literature related to pain in arthritis patients, hot applications in arthritis management, and evidence supporting the use of rock salt for pain relief. A total of 32 articles were reviewed. Findings show that hot applications, including Epsom and rock salt, are effective in reducing pain and improving function among arthritis patients. Rock salt, in particular, has shown potential therapeutic effects, but further empirical studies are required to validate its efficacy exclusively.
