If you push yourself in your workouts, you know what sore muscles feel like. And you know that there's a difference between being satisfyingly sore (so you know you worked hard) and being so sore you can't sit down on the toilet without a loud groan and a thud. And forget getting up -- if you don't have a counter or something handy to help you rise, you're in trouble.

I'm not shy about using a muscle rub -- Ben Gay, Nuprin, whatever's available. Even though it stinks -- sometimes, a girl just needs relief.

There's a new product available from Sweet Grass Farm called Spring Chicken Muscle Rub. It smells like cinnamon and is made with pure cassia, peppermint essential oils, and heat expressed calendula oil. Basically, all kinds of good stuff to help you soothe your poor, overworked muscles. And, you can get a 2 oz. jar for just $7.95.

Do you have a favorite muscle rub that provides relief? Or are you going to give this a try?
