Apple Cider Vinegar 

(ACV)

15 people on the Earth Clinic Muscle Cramp page give 

Apple Cider vinegar a thumbs up for treating sore 

muscles and leg cramps.  Most folks mix a tablespoon 

or two in a glass of water and drink it down, some 

drink a tablespoon straight like a shot.  Still other 

rub the vinegar directly on the area of the sore 

muscle/cramp.  A variation of this is a fellow who 

drank pickle juice and achieved similar results.  

Judith recommends 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, 1 

teaspoon of honey, a sprig of fresh mint and 8 to 10 

ounces of cold water, well mixed.

 Heat or Cold

A warm shower or bath also triggers the muscle to 

relax, which can be great for tension knotted 

shoulders or muscles tight from overuse.  For 

bruising or inflammation, an ice pack applied to the 

affected area for up to 20 minutes can reduce 

swelling and soreness.

Massage

Massage helps to stimulate blood circulation to an 

area, which speeds healing.  When combined with 

healing oils, such as the essential oils blends 

listed above or pepper rub below, you get a double 

benefit.
