Natural remedies are wonderful, inexpensive, effective, and good on the environment… and best of all, they can help relieve muscle strains and soreness after those extra hard workouts!
Here are a two of my favorites:
For Muscle Strains:
Aromatherapy Mix:
- 10 drops Eucalyptus
- 10 drops Peppermint
- 10 drops Rosemary
Mix 10 drops of above aromatherapy mix with 2 tbsp oil (I love jojoba oil) and massage into muscles after a warm bath or shower, and before bedtime
Put 8 drops of aromatherapy mix right into the bath. Relax and soak.
For a General Muscle Rub:
- 4 drops Lavender
- 4 drops Peppermint
- 5 drops Rosemary
Mix into 2 tbsp. oil, and massage feet and then up the legs (or whatever muscles needed).
I buy my aromatherapy scents and oils on www.vitacost.com. But you can also find them at Earthfare, Wholefoods, and at the Vitamin Shoppe (store or online).
