Muscle Magic - Arnica to the Rescue!

Whether it's the result of an all-out workout or a long day of play, muscle soreness will subside sooner with the right rubs and balms. Choose natural muscle rubs that contain menthol and eucalyptus, shown to possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties in a 2003 study.

Homeopathic arnica can speed healing as well: Take five pellets of arnica (at 30C strength) three times a day to reduce pain, swelling, and bruising. Arnica works wonders - also look for arnica creams!
