mrs.b If you have stopped by here in the last month, you know I hurt my back. what exactly I did is still an unknown. It was a muscle pull that took about 3-4 weeks to begin to heal. I would say now I’m about 97% better as I still feel a twinge occasionally and when I use the foam roller it is a tiny bit tender in that area. My workouts are pretty much full on though, so I’m excited about that.
But, to the point.
I have been using Tiger Balm and this other super potent muscle cream called McTarnahans Blue Lotion to ease the pain. Sometimes those can be so strong though that it is almost painful how cold they get.
I remembered I had this Spa Detox Body Gelee from Arbonne that I had not used. I thought “Hmmm, ‘cooling’. this might work.” So I put some on my back and I was so surprised. It had just enough cooling factor that the pain in my back was eased. I have been using it after every shower since.
It’s also really great for after sun, especially if you’re a little red. It eases the burn a bit. Another use is for a hot evening, right before bed, it cools your skin and makes you just a little more comfortable to go to sleep.
I’m really not posting this to sell it to you, but I can get it for a discount if you are interested. Post a comment and I will give you the info. There is a whole Detox line and I also used the detox bath salts. Not sure what effect that had on me other than a nice hot bath for my achy muscles.
I give it a 10 out of 10 and I’m sure these guys would, too
