Muscle fatigue can occur for a number of reasons, but it often happens due to intensive exercises. Placing a large amount of strain on your muscle for extended periods of time can cause it to weaken. During muscle fatigue, the muscle fails to produce enough force. Therefore, things like running and walking become difficult to do and should be put on the back burner until the muscle has a chance to heal and rest. In order to promote healing and reduce pain in your muscle, there are a number of herbal remedies that you can use.

Fresh Elderflower

Elderflower can be used topically in order to reduce inflammation and pain. The best way to use elderflower is by placing fresh elderflower in hot water. Allow the herbs to soak until the mixture is no longer hot. Place a muslin cloth in the herbal infusion. Use a circular motion to massage the cloth into the areas of your body that are in pain. This will help to make sure that your skin absorbs the anti-inflammatory properties of the mixture. Massage your problem areas for a few minutes.

Peppermint Oil

Peppermint oil can be used as a relaxant in order to calm and soothe your muscles. The oil can be used by placing the oil bottle in warm water. This is done in order to warm up the oil before use. Place a few drops of peppermint oil on the tips of your fingers and massage the oil into your skin for a few minutes. You should perform these massages in the morning and at night in order to get the most relief.

Rosemary Balm

Rosemary is a natural analgesic and it is often used to reduce the pain experienced from sprains and wounds. You can use the herb to treat your muscle fatigue by using it to create a balm. Pour a handful of beeswax and shea butter in a hot pot. Allow the two components to melt and cool. Once the mixture cools, add a few drops of rosemary oil. Allow the mixture to solidify before using. Take the balm mixture and warm it up between the palm of your hands. Use the palm of your hands to rub it into the areas that are in pain using a rolling motion.

Muscle fatigue can be painful and difficult to deal with. Therefore, use these herbal remedies to make sure that you are able to heal as quickly as possible. However, if these remedies aren't enough to do the trick, contact a business such as Bakke Chiropractic Clinic SC.
