[1herbal-healing] Ouch...oh, oooh, ah,....eek....arrgh!

[Guest guest]

Thanks EVERYBODY for the great herbal sore-muscle remedies! Let me tell

you what I ended up doing, because it worked GREAT:

 

On the advice of a book and a wonderfully grandmotherly list-member, Sara

sat down in a blazing hot bath, approximately 1/3 of which was strong,

fresh ginger tea. Stayed in the bath an hour, just 'cause it felt good!

But when I got out, I felt so good that it actually took me about another

hour to realize that all my muscular soreness was *poof*! Gone! Skin

felt great, too. The soreness started to come back a little bit about 8

hours later, but I plan on taking one of these baths after every

kickboxing class now. Just the right combination of relaxing and

stimulating, IMO.

 

[For those who don't wanna look it up: To Make Ginger Tea For Bathing.

Grate one palm-sized ginger root as finely as you can without making

mush. Boil one huge pot water. Add ginger root flakes, turn off heat,

and steep 15-20 minutes. Strain out the bits as best you can and add it

to a bathtub of hot water.]

 

Thanks all,

ST
