From Organic Balms to Popular Gels
After decades of athletics, client training, and chronic injury recovery, I've learned a few things about muscle care. I've certainly tried countless products in the athletic process and found a few that I simply love.
Healing has been an evolution, but so, too, have my standards evolved. Below I've listed some of my favorite muscle rubs. In the past, I never even knew about organic ingredients. Thirty years ago, I don't even know that I had even heard that buzz word. Today, it certainly holds more than a buzz. It's a vibration that can rattle the world to either make or break it for future generations.
So, check out the options ranging from fully certified organic to not at all. I'll let you decide how to best address your muscles and joints, but at least you have things narrowed down a bit.
Ingredients to Look For when choosing a soothing, yet powerful, rub:
Menthol - helps reduce inflammation and pain with its cooling sensation that desensitizes nerve endings. It also increases blood flow to an area to aid in healing. Want more details? Find them here at WEbMD.
Camphor - has the power to heat and cool with analgesic effects for soothing muscles. Like Menthol, it increases blood flow to an area and helps reduce pain. Curious about Camphor? Find details here at Medical News Today.
Capsaicin - has similar healing powers as Menthol and Camphor, Capsaicin is known to help neuralgia, or shooting, burning nerve pain. This is a Red Pepper remedy. That's right, Cayenne Pepper is Capsaicin. Want to learn more? Visit Cleveland Clinic here for more details.
