Muscle Soothe

Ingredients: Alfalfa*, chamomile*, marshmallow root*, raspberry leaf*, cramp bark*, hyssop*, ginger*.(*organic)

CAUTION:

Not recommended during pregnancy due to cramp bark and hyssop.

Chamomile may cause an allergic reaction in individuals sensitive to plants in the Asteraceae (ragweed/daisy) family.

Marshmallow root may affect the absorption of oral medications. Consider drinking Muscle Soothe at least 2 hours apart from medications.

If you are breastfeeding, taking medications, particularly blood-thinning or blood-pressure medications, or have a medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare professional knowledgeable in the use of herbs before regular use.

1–2 tsp (3–6 g)

8–10 oz water

212°F

10–15 minutes

Steep covered, then strain well.

Because Muscle Soothe contains marshmallow root and cramp bark, I would increase your original 5–8 minute steep to 10–15 minutes for the standard hot preparation.

For iced tea: Double the amount of tisane.

ADDITIONAL STEEPING NOTES:

Marshmallow root contains naturally occurring mucilage, which is extracted especially well with cooler water. For a preparation that emphasizes this characteristic, add Muscle Soothe to cool or room-temperature water and allow it to infuse for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Strain well before drinking.

This preparation will have a different flavor and texture from the standard hot infusion.

The herbs in Muscle Soothe have been used in a variety of traditional herbal preparations surrounding physical exertion, muscular tension, cramping, rest, and recovery.

Cramp bark earned its common name from its longstanding use in Western herbalism in preparations associated with muscular cramping and tension. Chamomile has traditionally been valued for relaxation and physical comfort, while ginger has a long history as a warming botanical used for circulation, digestion, and general aches and discomfort.

Marshmallow root has traditionally been prized for its soothing, mucilaginous qualities. Raspberry leaf has a history of use in preparations associated with muscular tone and cramping, particularly within women's herbal traditions, while alfalfa has often been used as a nutritive herb. Hyssop contributes another longstanding Western herbal botanical to the formula.

Together, these herbs explain the traditional thinking behind the name Muscle Soothe and its place as a comforting tea ritual after exercise, physical activity, or a demanding day.
