Get a Massage
Getting a massage is a good way to over come sore muscles. Having a professional do it is the best way but even a friend or yourself will do. We recommend that you use either the herbs, listed above, or you can try this mixture of oils which will help energize & strengthen your muscles:
4 drops of Rosemary Oil, 2 drops of lemon grass, & 4 drops of ginger. Massage evenly over your muscles.
Increase Your Protein Intake
Protein makes up about 15-20% of your body, half of which is found in your muscles and bones. To help over come sore muscles it's recommend to eat more protein.
For the highest protein content try eating Beans, Lentils, & Peas. Other good sources of protein are nuts, seeds, grains. Vegetables also have good amounts of protein such as artichoke, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, rice, & spinach to name a few.
Recommended Vitamins
It is always recommended to take your vitamins. Buying vitamins from your local health food store or from an online store is a great addition to the vitamins you get from the foods you eat. Most vitamins are lost from the foods we eat because some are dissolved in water, others destroyed by heat and some are affected by light and oxygen.
So please be sure to take your vitamins faithfully to help your body function at its best. click here for more information about vitamins
Recommened Minerals
Calcium
Calcium is good for strong & healthy muscles and bones. Calcium is also important because it helps to keep other minerals in your body balanced. It helps your body use Iron better. Here is good way to get your Calcium: Fill a jar halfway with crushed eggshells, cover with vinegar, and let it sit for 2 weeks. Then strain and take one to three tablespoons daily. You can use it as a salad dressing or in sauces or sweeten it with honey and take as a refreshing drink.
Sounds gross but it works!

The human body stores iron very well, but if your suffering from sore muscles, taking some iron pills will be a good idea because iron helps with muscle functioning and enzyme reactions for producing energy.
