Is working out leaving your joints stiff and muscles sore? Then
trying a natural pre-workout essential-oil rub could help. Blend together the
following ingredients:
- 4 drops pine
essence
- 3 drops rosemary
essence
- 1 drop black pepper
essence
- 20 ml sweet almond
oil
Rub the mixture
vigorously into the legs starting on the lower leg and working upwards. This
will stimulate circulation, warm the muscles and boost lymphatic drainage
thereby preventing toxin build-up. Keep the oil no more than two months in a
dark, cool place.
Strains can also be treated naturally with oils. Soak
a muslin cloth in iced water with a drop of peppermint oil in and put the cloth
on the sore spot repeating for 20 minutes. A few drops of lavender oil rubbed
into the strain area helps promote healing, eases the pain and reduces the
bruising.
