Kava, Burdock Root For Muscle Recovery! Did You Know?

Did you know muscle recovery refers to the process of your muscles regaining strength after exercise. According to the ISIS Holistic Clinic in Boston, Massachusetts, the natural process of a muscle trying to repair itself is called fibrosis. You can easily strain a muscle through improper techniques, resulting in inflammation--a clear sign that muscle damage has occurred. Various herbs can be used to help your muscles properly recover after a workout or injury. Do not add any herbal treatments to your routine without confirming with a health care professional that you are not at risk for harmful interactions.

Burdock Root

According to the Boston ISIS Holistic Clinic, burdock root is commonly used to make a popular form of essiac tea known as the burdock complex. Burdock root was commonly used in ancient Chinese medicine as a cure for the common cold. Drinking burdock complex tea can help avoid lactic acidaccumulation in the muscles. Minimizing lactic acid helps to optimize muscle recovery and decrease the soreness in your joints.

Herbal Mixtures

Cataplex B is a mixture of herbs that aids in muscle recovery. One of the key ingredients in the mixture is beet root. The Cataplex B herbal mixture helps to strengthen and tone muscles as well as reduce muscle and joint pain following a strenuous workout. Consuming this herbal mixture is also purported to help increase the reaction speed of muscles, which prevents a significant build up of lactic or pyruvic acid. Vitanox is another natural herbal mixture that can help your muscles to rapidly regain strength lost during exercise. Vitanox is composed of an extract of green tea leaves, an extract from grape seeds, rosemary and turmeric. Turmeric is an herb closely related to ginger root. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, turmeric has been used for more than 4,000 years as a cure for ailments including muscle inflammation. Vitanox herbal mixture provides vital antioxidants that proponents claim prevent muscle fatigue and deterioration.

Kava Root

The kava root was first used by those living in the Pacific Islands. The islanders would mix chewed up pieces of kava root with coconut milk to create a drink. According to Xterra Training, kava root supplements are commonly used to alleviate tight muscles after a hard workout. Kava root helps to block harmful acids from forming; this increases the speed of muscle recovery. Kava root has also been used to prevent muscle cramps that are caused by a buildup of lactic acid.
