Wow good to know!

I've used it on a sunburn before with success but never tried it for sore muscles! I found the smell didn't really linger on my skin either, thank goodness!

That stuff is kind of like a a crazy cure all!

Now it's just that I have to get to the store to get some Apple Cider Vinegar...I'm so sore that I can barely walk. Ug...

I never heard of using Apple Cider Vinegar for sore muscles. I guess we will see later if it works. If I'm sore from working out which usually happens when I don't warm down after I workout I generally turn my music full blast so my roommates don't hear me moaning in pain and do jumping jacks for 15 minutes. I hit the shower immediately after and turn the hot water on full blast.

**TIP: Always remember to warm down for 10-20 minutes after your workout to avoid soreness the next day. People usually skip the warm down because they are in a hurry(I've used the excuse too).

Actually lactic acid doesn't cause soreness. This common myth was debunked recently. If you google search "lactic acid not responsible for sore muscles" you will get a NYtimes article talking about this. Maybe the apple cider vinegar does something else though, not related to lactic acid, just the soreness, so I will try this if i get way too sore sometime. I usually bengay myself up and take an anti-inflammatory.

You should eat bananas... something in the bananas, maybe potassium, helps sore muscles.

Tiger Balm might help against sore muscles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Balm

I sometimes will take a bath in Epsom salts to relieve muscle soreness. I've never heard of the apple cider vinegar thing, but I suppose it could work. I don't think I'd like the smell too much though! I relieve sunburn with tea-soaked towels. It works really well, but you have to use really strong tea.

the smell dissipates not long after you apply it. i used to cut apple cider vinegar with water and use it as a facial toner, and it doesn't smell at all after it dries.

Don't know about ACV, but taking a hot shower immediately after exercising is not a great idea, as muscles are already inflamed, and the heat will make it worse. Or so I've read...

interesting, i guess it'll be worth a try after the next time i go snowboarding

interesting..thx fit

arnica (a homeopathic remedy) is really great for sore muscles. also equally great for bruising. you can take it orally or apply topically-comes in both tablet form and creams.

why fit sugar, how in the world did you know that my left shoulder was killing me? I am going to try this tonight. Thanks for post!

As a previous comment tried to point out: HEAT IS HORRIBLE FOR SORE MUSCLES!!! The muscle is sore because it is inflammed. Thinking back to basic high school chemistry: heat causes things to expand. COLD is what muscles need in order to SHRINK (or constrict) blood vessels to prevent the area from further inflaming.

I read the post, "Home Remedy: Sore Muscles".... It is really interesting... Thank you for the solutions for Sore Muscles....
