When your back is out of whack and sore, it\u2019s hard to enjoy anything. There\u2019s always the fear of worsening the pain, whether you are sleeping, walking, sitting down, or reaching for a cup on a high shelf. The muscles in your back can easily become sore and there\u2019s no better way to remedy sore, strained, or overworked muscles than by applying an herbal salve that reduces pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making salves is fairly simple, and it is the perfect entry point for anyone interested in creating natural skin care products<\/a> or remedies. You can make one salve in 30 minutes, about the time it takes to cook a meal. In theory, you could make one salve and dinner at the same time! A salve is worth nothing if you aren\u2019t using top quality ingredients, though. You have to choose ingredients based on what you are attempting to remedy. That\u2019s why the salve in this article contains the following ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cayenne Pepper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cayenne pepper is commonly used in cooking, but it has been incorporated into skin care products for its ability to assist with pain relief<\/a>. The active ingredient, capsaicin, is extracted and included in ointments or creams because it works to stop muscle and joint pain<\/a>. How does it do this? It tricks or confuses pain transmitters, desensitizing local nerves and decreasing pain in certain conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and osteoarthritis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. John\u2019s Wort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

St. John\u2019s wort has commonly been used to boost mood<\/a>, but new research has taken a closer look at how the anti-inflammatory properties benefit sore muscles. Many herbalists turn to St. John\u2019s wort to help soothe muscle pain<\/a>, especially sciatica or atrophy of nervous tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ginger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A study that was published in The Journal of Pain<\/em> revealed that a daily dose of ginger<\/a> can relieve exercise-induced muscle pain<\/a>. This study examined muscle pain after subjects consumed one to two ginger capsules daily, but ginger can also relieve muscle pain when applied topically. It works to increase warmth and blood flow<\/a> in the area where it is applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
