Top 4 Natural Remedies to Relieve Sore Muscles

Posted by Healthfitline On Tuesday, September 4, 2012
You may have experienced those muscle pains after a long run or simply after a minor intense workout. Most muscle pains are caused by building up of lactic acid especially in the early stages after you have just started  working out. At this stage, your body is trying to adapt and utilize oxygen properly. In such a situation, most people will opt for an ointment or pharmaceutical regimen that would help in soothing the sore muscles.

While indeed some ointment may help in reducing muscle soreness, others do not work and they may leave you feeling even more desperate than when you started using them.  According to a recent study by clinical journal of Sports Medicine, there are four natural remedies that have been proven to work when it comes to soothing muscles.

Antioxidants Beverages

Beverages that are rich in antioxidants like Cherry Juice could help in soothing your muscle soreness. They are believed to play an important part in speeding muscle in recovering after a strength workout routine. 
 
Probiotics
If you are fond of taking yoghurt or any other type of good bacilli drink that contains lactobacillus  rhamnosus and paracasei, then you are on the right path. A study has shown that, taking drinks rich in these kinds of bacteria can decrease cell damage after a month of doing regular, intense type of exercises.
 
Lemon Verbena
The extracts made out from the leaves of this plant can help in decreasing muscle and blood cell damage without affecting tissue building effects of a workout. This definitely speeds up the recovering process which would otherwise have taken a longer time.

Omega 3 Fatty Acid 
The benefits of Omega 3 Fatty Acid have been highlighted for a long time and these benefits continue to be even more amazing. The latest study by Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine has shown that, taking a fish oil pill once a day decreases muscle soreness and ease the body inflammation within the first 48 hours after an intense, strength workout.
