As we head outside for all the wonderful activities that Spring offers, we find ourselves predictably sore and stiff.
Ahh, but what to do about that? Pop a few ibuprofen and get back out there, right?
Well, that’s one option. Just know that over 100,000 people are hospitalized each year from using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and over 16,000 die.
We at KMHC feel there is a better way. Here are a few easy and safer tips to quell those achy muscles and joints:
1. Treat yard work like an athletic event. Limber up before going out, then stretch during and after your tasks.
2. Bathe in Epsom salt water after a long day. I recommend a 30-minute soak in warm water with 2 cups of salts stirred in.
3. Get an adjustment and a therapeutic massage. This one-two punch can’t be beat. These therapies get to the CAUSE of the problem!
4. Use natural muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories. We love that there is a safe and effective alternative to synthetic, chemically based drugs.
We recommend Myocalm, our muscle relaxant, and Inflavonoid Intensive Care, our anti-inflammatory. Stop in today to learn more about these excellent products.
