If you're feeling the effects of a long workout (or a hard day at work), try adding a few herbs to your evening bath. Whole herbs that are good for muscle aches include hay leaves, eucalyptus, juniper and marjoram.

Here's a wonderful bath that you can look forward to the next you're sweating away at the gym or carving up the slopes. It features pain-fighting bay leaves, soothing lavender and rosemary, which will help increase circulation and thus help your muscles recover more quickly. It also features marjoram, a relaxing herb known among the ancient Romans as "the herb of happiness." Marjoram acts as an antispasmodic and also calms the nervous system, making it a natural remedy for muscle pain. ** Natural Health -- Dec 96 **
