How To: Make a DIY Warming Rub for Sore Muscles

Need a remedy for your sore muscles after going the gym? Rather than spending money on expensive warming rubs, you can whip up your own DIY, all-natural warming rub concoction in the comfort of your own kitchen using a double boiler, olive oil, beeswax, and various spices.

If you don't have a double boiler, you can use a heat-proof bowl or Pyrex measuring cup inside a small pot, or a small pot that fits within a larger pot. In lieu of a cheesecloth, you can also use coffee filter paper fitted over a strainer.

Once you have created your DIY warming rub, be sure to contain it in a tightly lidded glass jar in the refrigerator. Keep concoction away from your face and from open membranes, and be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after use.
