Pain and stiffness in muscles after exercise or physical activity (DOMS — Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness).
A natural anti-inflammatory recovery drink used by athletes.
How to Use
Drink 8-12oz of tart cherry juice twice daily — before and after intense exercise.
Why It Works
Tart cherries contain anthocyanins and other polyphenols that reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, accelerating muscle recovery and reducing DOMS severity.
A warm bath with magnesium sulfate to relax muscles and reduce soreness.
How to Use
Add 2 cups of Epsom salt to a warm bath. Soak for 15-20 minutes. Do this within 24 hours of intense exercise.
Why It Works
Magnesium is absorbed through the skin, helping to relax muscles and reduce inflammation. The warm water also increases blood flow to sore muscles.
