Your Gardening Companion for Muscle Soreness

May 20, 2025 | Uses for Topicals

It’s always great when warm weather rolls around and flowers start blooming again. It brings another opportunity to dream big about what we’ll plant in our gardens and enjoy eating throughout the summer. But, if you’re like me, your dreams might be bigger than your aged body can handle without a few self-induced aches and pains!

This weekend, I got a little carried away. I was out digging squash mounds with a pickaxe and shovel—probably longer than I should have been. The next day? My lower back and shoulders were not pleased. Add in some tomato planting and a few hours of bending over raised beds, and I was feeling every muscle I used.

That’s when I reached for my go-to relief: Sweet Releaf Extra Strength. I gently rubbed some into my back and shoulders and within minutes felt a soothing warmth spread through those overworked muscles. The tension began to lift, and soon I was relaxing into that satisfying post-garden fatigue—minus the pain.

My garden isn’t complete without roses, even though those thorns love to remind me who’s boss. Even with thick gloves, I tend to come away with scratches on my arms and tiny pricks on my fingers after pruning or tying up loose canes. Sweet Releaf isn’t just great for sore muscles—it also soothes those little surface scratches and skin irritations that come with the job. A quick dab helps calm the sting. It also help keeps my skin from drying out or flaring up.

In the end, whether it’s a tired back, scratched-up arms, or just the general wear-and-tear that comes with a day in the dirt, Sweet Releaf makes it all worth it. It’s my garden companion that helps me enjoy the beauty and bounty of Nature. Happy Gardening!
