Muscle Pain & Bruising: Causes, Relief & Arnicare Benefits
Both Arnicare® Arnica Cooling Gel and Arnicare® Arnica Cream harness the natural healing properties of Arnica Montana, a plant known for its beneficial effects since the 16th century.
Muscle pain and stiffness
When your muscles are sore after a workout, it can feel really validating. No pain, no gain, right? Post-workout muscle soreness is a common reaction to training. When your muscles work hard, they’ll naturally feel fatigued afterwards, but eventually they’ll become stronger once your body properly recovers.
Muscle stiffness typically occurs after exercise, hard physical work or lifting weights. You may also feel stiffness after periods of inactivity, like when you get out of bed in the morning or get out of a chair after sitting for a long time. Muscle stiffness usually goes away on its own. You may find relief with regular exercise and stretching, rest, ice packs and massages.
Nelsons® Arnicare® Arnica Cooling Gel is perfect to massage into your muscles after physical exertion. It combines the benefits of Arnica montana with the zesty sensation of natural grapefruit oil and menthol to soothe and refresh after a long day on your feet.
What causes bruising
A bruise is often caused by a bump, knock or fall.
Bruises usually occur when an injury causes blood to leak into the skin or tissues beneath the skin. So what can make bruises so unsightly? Well, with nowhere to go, the blood gets trapped under the skin, forming a red or purplish mark which may be painful or feel tender to touch.
Minor mishaps are often unavoidable. From a small bump in the home to a trip or fall while out and about, bruises happen. Especially when you or your children play sports. Nelsons® Arnicare® Arnica Cream can be applied to the affected area straight after the knock or fall to help minimise bruising.
