What to do about Muscle Soreness and Cramps?

Soaking in the tub with Epsom salts and baking soda (3 cups each) can alleviate muscle cramps, as well as soreness from overexertion. The Epsom salts will add magnesium toyour body through the skin, which is more effective than taking a supplement by mouth. Another way to do this is to rub magnesium oil directly to the muscle that is sore or is cramping.


Whats Magnesium?
 Magnesium - the key component of Epsom Salt -- performs more functions in more systems of the human body than virtually any other mineral, including regulating the activity of more than 325 enzymes.



Studies show that magnesium is:
• An electrolyte, helping to ensure proper muscle, nerve and enzyme function.

• Critical to the proper use of calcium in cells.

• An aid in helping to prevent heart disease and strokes by lowering blood pressure, protecting the elasticity of arteries, preventing blood clots and reducing the risk of sudden heart attack deaths.

Medical research also indicates that


magnesium may:
• Increase the effectiveness of insulin, helping to lower the risk or severity of diabetes.

• Reduce inflammation and relieves pain, making it a beneficial in the treatment of sore muscles, bronchial asthma, migraine headaches and fibromyalgia.
