Muscle Rehab FAQ

Muscle Rehab is formulated with magnesium, arnica, and a proprietary blend of 10 essential oils, chosen for their roles in muscle relaxation, circulation, and recovery. Our transdermal approach allows ingredients to be absorbed through the skin for targeted relief. Every product is crafted without harsh additives and is handmade in the United States for quality and consistency.

Muscle Rehab products work through transdermal absorption, where magnesium, arnica extract, and essential oils are absorbed directly through the skin. This process allows nutrients to bypass the digestive system and act locally on muscles and joints. Whether soaking in a bath or applying the Magnesium Recovery Spray, each formula delivers targeted relief and supports natural recovery.

Magnesium is a vital mineral involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions, including those that regulate muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and energy production. Adequate magnesium supports muscle relaxation, reduces stress, improves skin hydration, and enhances sleep quality. Muscle Rehab uses magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) in soaks for full-body recovery and magnesium chloride in the Recovery Spray for fast, targeted absorption.

Arnica (Arnica montana) is a botanical known for supporting the body’s inflammation response, making recovery more effective. Its active compounds promote circulation, helping reduce swelling, ease stiffness, and accelerate healing. Arnica is also widely recognized for minimizing bruising. Muscle Rehab includes arnica across our formulas to complement magnesium by targeting soreness and supporting natural tissue repair.

Essential oils offer both therapeutic and aromatic benefits that support recovery. Ingredients like peppermint, eucalyptus, and spearmint help ease muscle tension and improve circulation, while ginger, turmeric, and marjoram are valued for their anti-inflammatory properties. Muscle Rehab’s proprietary blend of 10 essential oils works synergistically to relieve aches, reduce stress and fatigue, and promote relaxation, better sleep, and overall well-being.

Yes. All Muscle Rehab products are paraben-free, sulfate-free, phthalate-free, dye-free, cruelty-free, and made in the USA. We avoid artificial additives or preservatives, focusing only on purposeful, natural ingredients. We also emphasize ingredient transparency and traceability: every ingredient is listed, and each product can be tracked back to its manufacturing date and ingredient source.

Muscle Rehab supports recovery for athletes, active individuals, and anyone managing sore muscles, joint stiffness, stress, or restless sleep. Beyond sports, our products are trusted by first responders, healthcare workers, educators, and retail professionals—people who use their bodies every day. From fitness enthusiasts to everyday heroes, Muscle Rehab helps restore balance and relieve physical strain.

A magnesium soak involves dissolving magnesium salts (Epsom salt, magnesium sulfate) in water and immersing the body. Through transdermal absorption, magnesium can pass through the skin into circulation, bypassing digestion. This process may help restore magnesium levels while promoting muscle relaxation, easing soreness, and supporting recovery—making soaks a natural, restorative addition to any wellness routine.

USP-grade (United States Pharmacopeia) certification ensures the magnesium sulfate in our soaks meets strict standards for purity, safety, and consistency. This means the ingredient is free from contaminants and manufactured to pharmaceutical quality. Using USP-grade salts gives customers confidence in both the reliability and effectiveness of every Muscle Rehab soak.

Muscle Rehab Bath Soaks may help relax tight muscles, ease soreness, and support faster recovery by replenishing magnesium through the skin and promoting circulation in warm water. Many users also report improved sleep, reduced stress, and an overall sense of renewal—making soaks a simple yet powerful way to recover both body and mind.

For a full-body bath, dissolve ½ to 1 cup of Muscle Rehab Bath Soak in warm water and soak for 15–20 minutes. For hands or feet, use 2.5 ounces up to ½ cup in a smaller basin. Always stay hydrated before and after your soak to support circulation and recovery.

Each bath bomb combines USP-grade Epsom salt, arnica, and a proprietary blend of essential oils. Magnesium helps relax sore muscles, while arnica supports the body’s inflammation response for faster recovery. Oils like eucalyptus, peppermint, and ginger add both soothing and invigorating effects. For the full ingredient declaration, visit our Ingredients Page on the Muscle Rehab website.

When dissolved, a Muscle Rehab Bath Bomb releases magnesium, arnica, and essential oils that are absorbed through the skin to ease soreness and inflammation. The warm water also promotes vasodilation (widening blood vessels to improve circulation) which helps muscles recover more effectively. Added skin-softening ingredients leave your skin feeling silky smooth, making each soak both restorative and refreshing.

Remove the protective shrink film, then place the bath bomb into warm water and allow it to fully dissolve. For best results, soak for 15–20 minutes after exercise or on recovery days. Many users also enjoy soaking before bed, as the combination of ingredients helps prepare the body for deeper, more restful sleep.

The Magnesium Recovery Spray is a fast-absorbing magnesium oil enhanced with arnica and 10 essential oils for quick, targeted relief. Applied directly to the skin, it helps ease soreness, cramps, and muscle tension. As a secondary benefit, magnesium may also promote deeper sleep. Many users apply the spray to the bottoms of their feet before bed for nighttime relaxation.

Together, these ingredients create a synergistic recovery blend. Magnesium, absorbed through the skin, helps relax muscles and ease cramps. Arnica supports the body’s inflammation response, reducing swelling and bruising. Our proprietary blend of 10 essential oils complements these effects by improving circulation and adding both soothing and invigorating properties, enhancing the overall recovery experience.

Spray directly onto sore or tight areas, then massage into the skin. You can also pump 4–6 sprays into your hands and apply where needed. The multidirectional sprayer makes it easy to reach your back or shoulders. Use after workouts, before bed, or anytime you need relief. A mild tingling or slight salty residue is normal with magnesium oil.

Yes. Regular use of Muscle Rehab can help relieve muscle tension, reduce stiffness, and support recovery from activity or long days on your feet. Many customers enjoy soaking 2–3 times per week for full-body relief, while the Magnesium Recovery Spray is safe for daily use whenever quick, targeted support is needed.

Yes. While Muscle Rehab is trusted by athletes for recovery, it’s equally effective for anyone living an active life. From chasing kids or grandkids to long shifts on your feet, our products help ease soreness, relieve everyday aches, and improve rest—supporting recovery for athletes and everyday movers alike.

Muscle Rehab products are recommended for ages 12 and older. This guideline reflects the high concentration of essential oils in our formulas, which may be too strong for younger children’s sensitive skin and developing systems. Parents should consult a healthcare professional before use on children. Disclaimer: This information is for general knowledge and not a substitute for medical advice.

Yes. By supporting muscle relaxation, circulation, and recovery, Muscle Rehab products can also promote deeper, more restorative sleep. Warm baths with magnesium and arnica help reduce tension that often interferes with rest, while our Magnesium Recovery Spray can be applied before bed to calm muscles. Many users report falling asleep faster and waking feeling more refreshed.

Yes. Muscle Rehab products are made with naturally derived ingredients and are free from harsh additives, making them generally well tolerated. However, as with any topical product, those with sensitive skin should perform a small patch test before regular use to ensure comfort and compatibility.

No. For fresh injuries, strains, or swelling, start with cool or cold therapy. Heat increases blood flow, which can worsen swelling in the first 24–48 hours. Once inflammation has subsided, warm soaks are highly effective for loosening tight muscles, improving circulation, and supporting recovery during the later stages of healing.

No. Muscle Rehab products should not be applied to open wounds, broken skin, or irritated areas. Magnesium and essential oils may cause stinging or discomfort when used on damaged skin. For best results, apply only to healthy skin and allow any cuts or abrasions to fully heal before use.

Ice baths (50–59°F): Best immediately after intense training or fresh injuries. Reduce swelling and inflammation.
Cool/tepid soaks (60–97°F): Gentler inflammation relief, easier to tolerate than ice baths, safe for most people.
Warm soaks (~98–104°F): Promote circulation, relax tight muscles, reduce stiffness, and support recovery and sleep.
Hot soaks (>104°F): Not recommended; may dehydrate skin, worsen swelling, and stress the heart.

Warm baths promote vasodilation (widening blood vessels to improve circulation), which eases tight muscles and supports nutrient delivery—ideal for general soreness, stiffness, and relaxation. Cold baths are most effective for acute injuries, swelling, or inflammation in the first 24–48 hours after activity, when reducing fluid buildup and controlling soreness is the priority.
