Quick Grooming Tip #3

Muscle Therapy
So I know this is not a classic grooming tip but you can put it in your bag of tricks. If you have a really rough workout and your muscles are sore that is caused by our friend Inflammation and Swelling. We usually use ice packs and things of that nature to take down the swelling and ease our discomfort but the Rosemary: A Popular kitchen staple can do the same trick and its something new.
Take a couple of sprigs of Rosemary and let them chill out in a pot of simmering water, as if you are making Rosemary tea. Take the pot off let it cool for a little bit. Soak a towel in the Rosemary infused water and then drape the towel over the inflamed area. The heat from the steam will relax your muscles and aid your recovery and the Rosemary is acting as an anti - inflammatory to take down your swelling. " So save the Frozen Peas for dinner and run to your herb garden for a new girlfriend named Rosemary."
