The DOMS BOMB

The DOMS BOMB

Explosive muscle recovery!

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is the stiffness and pain felt 24 to 48 hours after intense exercise. 

For athletes, a combination of the Hot Mustard Soak and Magnesium Soak (The DOMS BOMB) is the perfect muscle recovery duo. It gives you double the recovery benefits in one bath.

Our Wintergreen Magnesium Soak is a blend of the purest pharmaceutical grade Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom salts) AND Magnesium Chloride . Magnesium is one of 7 key macro-minerals essential for muscle function, protecting the heart, stabilising blood pressure and blood sugar, supporting bone health, and reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.

The healing properties in Wintergreen Hot Mustard Soak ingredients - Mustard Seed Powder, Wintergreen Oil, Camphor and Eucalyptus Oil - in a steaming hot bath can reduce inflammation and pain from strenuous activity, arthritis or colds and flu; improve circulation; relax the muscles and reduce congestion in the sinuses, nose and chest. The Mustard Seed Powder is what creates the intense heat associated with mustard baths, and causes the body to heat up from the inside.  This makes it a fantastic detoxifier, with toxins sweated out as the body heats up. 

Our Sports Massage Therapist, Daliah Hurwitz, says, “It can be hard initially to convince my rugby players and athletes who are more accustomed to showers, that a long, hot bath can help them recover from a tough match or training session, but once they have tried it and experienced the benefits, they are converts!  Wintergreen DOMS BOMB is a regular part of my recovery protocol.”

With regular use, there should be little to no muscle cramping during or after training or matches, and the effect of DOMS will be much improved.” 

If you don’t have access to a bath, you can experience the same detoxing benefits just by soaking your feet in a tub of hot water – simply add a sachet of Wintergreen Hot Mustard Soak & Magnesium Soak, relax, and enjoy!
