Blender’s Notes Muscle Recovery:
Steep Me Self Help combinations are a great way to get health benefits outside of the standard tea leaf. This combination of herbs helps the body with the delayed onset muscle soreness that can come with a tough workout or a tough day at work. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, DOMS symptoms typically occur up at least 12 to 24 hours after a workout. The pain tends to peak about one to three days after your workout, and then should ease up after that. Symptoms of DOMS to watch out for may include pain when stretching muscles, leading them to become contracted and tight ~ muscles that feel tender to the touch ~ reduced range of motion due to pain and stiffness when moving ~ swelling in the affected muscles ~ muscle fatigue ~ short-term loss of muscle strength. High-intensity exercise can cause tiny, microscopic tears in your muscle fibers. Your body responds to this damage by increasing inflammation, which may lead to a delayed onset of soreness in the muscles. Any high-intensity exercise can cause DOMS, but one kind, known as eccentric exercise, often triggers it. Eccentric exercises cause you to tense a muscle at the same time you lengthen it. Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS): Symptoms, Causes, Treatment
We bested this blend off large amounts of Rhodiola and Damiana which are the best herbs to help with recovery and healing of the body. They are great for reducing soreness, pain management and allowing the body to feel better to do it all again the next day. Rhodiola is an adaptogen, so supplementing them helps the body to adapt to stress. Many of these have been used for centuries in Scandinavian countries and Russia to treat depression, anxiety, and fatigue. Damiana Leaf can help improve the defenses of the body against stress. Moreover, it helps to relieve the symptoms of depression, anxiety, nervousness, and even insomnia. In fact, it also relieves muscle tension or headaches. We also added Ashwagandha because it is a critical supplement for everyone from elite athletes to ordinary people who are just trying to stay in shape. It is an adaptogen herb that helps balance androgen in the body, and this helps people to react in a healthier manner to stress in all its many forms. This is critical because stress causes the body to flood with the stress hormone known as cortisol. When the body has too much cortisol, it is far more resistant to fat burning. Ashwagandha builds muscle endurance and strength. Ashwagandha also is a fantastic herb for workout recovery. It protects the body from repetitive strain, building the foundation for intensity increases in the future. Frequently, people who extensively use ashwagandha find that they feel less overall fatigue after working out. It is designed for calming; this is perfect for helping your body absorb the stress of a workout or to promote restful sleep. Burdock Root helps you sweat more, therefore helping your body to eliminate harmful toxins that are in your body. It also helps to promote healthy muscle function, decreasing the chance of tears and strains. By supplementing with Burdock Root, you can increase muscle mass more effectively than you would without it. Frankincense is used to inhibit enzymes to promote a healthier inflammatory response. Among the other benefits of Frankincense is improved blood flow to connective tissues. This supports healthier joints so that they experience less pain and inflammation. Accordingly, people who regularly supplement with Boswellia may have fewer joint concerns. Less joint pain will contribute to being able to engage in more strenuous workouts and a lifetime of healthy exercise. Studies suggest that Boswellia’s positive effects on human health are numerous. The active components in the herb are believed to help with apoptosis, which is the culmination of the life cycle of a healthy cell. This promotes the growth of healthy tissue, which may be key for adding muscle size and density. In fact, it is wise to combine turmeric with Boswellia for maximum effect. And Turmeric can ease inflammation. Curcumin is an active component of the herb. Not only do they give turmeric its distinctive yellow hue, but they also provide essential antioxidant support that helps with a healthy inflammatory response. Inflammation is a natural part of the post-workout process. Healthy inflammation is what helps muscles to get bigger and stronger, which also makes them more resilient. Problems, like muscle soreness, occur when the inflammatory response goes into overdrive. Turmeric regulates this process, keeping everything in line so that muscles can grow and recover without getting sore. reduces inflammation (helpful for running, for weight loss, for an injury), improves joint function, acts as a natural pain killer.
We also added Corydalis Root because it is useful for reducing the discomfort of over training or stress. As athletes we must find ways to decrease both life and workout stress to keep from pushing our bodies too far. A little stress is where we find growth and the stress from too many angles at once is when we shoot our cortisol sky high and start to have all kinds of issues from adrenal fatigue to holding on to belly fat. Kava Kava was added because it works on GABA receptors (the main inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the mammalian brain) and acts to relax muscles by lowering excess signaling from the central nervous system and brain. Kava kava can provide potential benefits for athletes, enhancing their overall performance and recovery. It can be used both as a pre-workout supplement and as a post-workout aid for recovery. Kava’s relaxing effects on muscles can help relieve muscle tension and promote physical and mental relaxation. It can also restore electrolyte balance and reduce stress hormones, leading to faster muscle repair and quicker recovery time. Maca has beneficial effects before, during and after a workout. Maca is an apoptogenic herb, which means that it helps the human body to cope with stress whether it is mental, emotional, or physical. Maca further has muscle-building properties that help people to put on size and increase muscular endurance. Much of this muscle growth occurs after working out, so maca is a critical part of any recovery period. We also added Oat straw. Oat straw, which is a natural stress reliever, which helps against depression, anxiety, neurological pain, and some other problems. The pharmacology of oat straw shows the rich amount of nutrients such as calcium, which gives it a healing effect for arthritis, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis.
Next, we added Holy Basil and Fever Few because they are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, which might help reduce muscle soreness and inflammation. Steep Me Seaweed Blend was also added because it contains iodine which is crucial for thyroid function and overall metabolic health. Seaweed is rich in dietary fiber, which supports digestive health and helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome. They contain antioxidants like carotenoids and polyphenols, which help combat oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases and are a good source of vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, and iron. Horsetail is rich in silica, which is essential for collagen production and connective tissue health. This can help with muscle repair and recovery. Horsetail contains compounds that have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce muscle soreness and inflammation. and is rich in antioxidants that help protect muscle tissue from oxidative stress and damage may harbor compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which could theoretically contribute to enhanced recovery and improved exercise endurance. One key area of focus has been on the root’s impact on inflammatory markers. Finally, we added Black Cumin. Black cumin contains compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce muscle inflammation and soreness. It is rich in antioxidants that help protect muscle tissue from oxidative stress and damage and it can help balance the immune system, which is important for muscle recovery and overall health.
Plus, we also made it into a pickle brine called Dill-Aid – which this tea is steeped with or proprietary all-natural hand canned pickle brine. This brine has no curing salts and fresh garlic and dill and is a wonderful way to deliver the health benefits of Muscle Recovery in a tasty form.
