A warming muscle massage
Spending time outdoors in warm weather is one of life’s simple pleasures. Whether I’m working in the garden, tackling projects around the farm or exploring the nearby forests, oceans and rivers, I make the most of the sun and the vitamin D that comes with it. However, these activities are often followed by bumps, bruises, and sore muscles.
Years ago I discovered the benefits of keeping a can of St. John’s Wort Muscle Rub with Warming Cayenne on hand. This easy-to-make ointment combines the muscle-softening properties of St. John’s wort with the warming effects of capsaicin, which provides relief from the occasional aches and pains that come with an active lifestyle. Plus, it’s not just for summer: this rub also provides comfort during the cold winter months, making it a versatile addition to any home apothecary.
