I’ve been stretching a lot and practicing some new “stuff” in Kung Fu (I am training in Chen Style Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong). It has me rather sore in several places.
A few arnica tablets, a good soak in a rosemary and eucalyptus salt bath, followed by a rub made from an essential oil blend of black pepper, fresh ginger and rosemary diluted to 2% in a base of arnicated oil, and of course, proper rest, should do the trick.
Incidentally, that same EO blend, diluted to 2-5% in olive oil instead of arnicated oil (which is NOT edible) makes a great seasoning for chicken!
Rosemary can be a bit too stimulating for some at night, so that should be taken into consideration when making a muscle rub blend for evening use. For me, it is not usually an issue. I have no doubts that rosemary oil or not, I shall sleep well tonight and have dreams filled with symbols and insights 🙂
I too love keeping things around that have many uses.
My kids think it is cool/weird (depending on the day – LOL) that Mom uses soap stuff on their food and food stuff in my perfumes, soaps and bath “teas” …
Who needs meds when we have a spice cabinet – LOL
* Of course if someone has a serios health issue, meds may be needed in addition to natural healing measures.
