Achy muscles can result from a myriad of causes, including strenuous exercise, repetitive motion, or even everyday stress. The discomfort often manifests as a dull, persistent ache, stiffness, or a burning sensation in the affected muscles.
A variety of herbs like turmeric, ginger, and chamomile are renowned for their anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. Turmeric, rich in curcumin, offers notable anti-inflammatory effects, helping to ease muscle discomfort. A simple home remedy involves incorporating more of this potent herb into the diet or taking it as a supplement to alleviate muscle aches effectively. In our practice we utilize these herbs in a tincture form, tea form or use oral supplements recommended by our practitioners as Meriva. You can call Botanical Bounty at 646 723 1823
I love ginger tea. For cough I use ginger, lemon and my raw honey to suppress coughs and boost your immune system Ginger, not only soothes the stomach but also works effectively to relieve muscle pain. Consuming ginger tea or adding fresh ginger to meals can offer a warming effect and increase circulation to sore muscles. Chamomile, renowned for its relaxing properties, can also be employed
Heat therapy is beneficial for increasing blood flow and the elasticity of muscles, aiding in the alleviation of stiffness and pain. Applying a warm compress or soaking in a warm bath can provide immediate relief, especially for chronic muscle aches. The heat works to relax the muscles, enhancing flexibility and reducing discomfort.
I love a good Epsom salt bath with essential oils as Lavender. A good professional massage also helps
