One of our customers' favorites is our Lavender Muscle Rub. This natural muscle rub will soothe and rejuvenate any sore muscles. Lavender is a natural anti-inflammatory and relaxant, which makes it a perfect tool for soothing your muscles and skin while leaving you smelling amazing.
Our lavender muscle rub contains vitamin E, vitamin C, MSM, Arnica Flower Extract and a wonderful array of natural plant oils. Just massage it in a circular motion to sooth aching muscles and aid relaxation. It really is up to par with well-known name brands & we use it almost daily ourselves after a hard day working on the farm.
Vitamin E - Is a strong antioxidant, supports skin barrier repair, helps with dryness, irritation, and minor surface healing.
Vitamin C - Applied topically, it acts as an antioxidant, mopping up free radicals, supports collagen production & helps with skin healing, brightness, and tone.
MSM - Has anti-inflammatory properties & supports joint health. We all want to avoid harsh ingredients, but don't let its scientific name deter you from giving it a try. Dimethyl Sulfone is an organic sulfur that comes in the form of many names like methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), DMSO2, and methyl sulfone among others. **
This chemical can be found in leafy green veggies, radishes, garlic, onions and chives. Other great sources include organic, pasture-raised eggs and raw milk products from pasture-raised cows.
Arnica Flower Extract - Arnica flower extract helps muscle soreness by calming inflammation, improving local circulation, and quieting pain signals at the surface level. Although not instantaneous (30-60 minutes to take effect) it definitely takes the pain away.
Lavender Essential Oil - Especially Lavandula angustifolia, works through a few quiet but real mechanisms:
Reduces inflammation (mildly) Lavender contains linalool and linalyl acetate, compounds shown to reduce inflammatory signaling. Less inflammation means less aches and tightness.
Relaxes muscle tension Lavender has a muscle-relaxant effect, partly through calming the nervous system. When muscles stop guarding and clenching, soreness eases.
Eases pain perception It doesn’t numb; it softens how pain is perceived, which is why people often describe the relief as, “soothing” rather than “strong.”
Improves circulation via massage Lavender shines when used with massage. The oil plus touch improves local blood flow, helping muscles recover from overuse. **
Our massage therapist customers who use creams have told us they love the consistency & texture!
