Understanding Muscle Soreness

Muscle soreness generally manifests within 24 hours following physical activity, often accompanied by a sensation of tightness. This response is linked to minor damage to muscle fibres incurred during exercise. As time progresses, discomfort may intensify, peaking on the second or third day, which can limit mobility. The duration of muscle soreness varies by individual, typically lasting from 48 to 72 hours before gradually easing.

The specific areas affected by soreness often depend on the type of exercise performed. Commonly impacted muscles include the quadriceps at the front of the thigh, the hamstrings at the back, and the calf muscles, particularly after resistance training or endurance activities. Additionally, upper body muscles such as the deltoids and biceps may also experience soreness following stretching routines.

For individuals experiencing soreness related to pre-existing conditions or prolonged discomfort, Professor Wong advises the use of "Carthami Flos Pain Relieving Oil" Gentle massage of the affected area, combined with the application of the "Carthami Flos Analgesic Plaster" allows the herbal ingredients—frankincense, myrrh, and safflower—to penetrate the skin, promoting circulation and alleviating discomfort.

These Herbalgy's products are available at personal care retail chains, including Mannings, Watsons, Yue Hwa, and HKTVmall, as well as various pharmacies across Hong Kong.
