Best Bath Bomb for Sore Muscles

With no coloring, these bath bombs top my list thanks to the blend of essential oils that not only relieve my muscles as claimed but also do not overpower with a scent as some bath bombs can.

Supplied in a pack of four, these are not the cheapest bath bombs you will find with these essential oils and properties but have the edge in terms of performance.

Airtight bath bomb packaging means they arrive in tip-top condition. ‘For Athletes’ is stated on the pack. You don’t have to be athletic to use these, just tired will do!

Best Runner Up

Including Peppermint essential oil WOD fitters RecoverBomb is a close second to Muscle Rehab and also arrive colorless.

They have come in behind the Muscle rehab option based on price. You will pay a little more per piece with these.

Providing muscle recovery ingredients which also include the staple Epsom salts and Baking soda, they work equally well in either your normal warm bath, or if you are one of the brave, an ‘ice bath’ too.

GREAT BENEFIT: The WOD Fitters RecoverBomb includes no color. This is a huge plus for me, as I am not a fan of the murky depths that can be created by some bath bombs. No color also means no tub staining too!

Basic packaging is nice, we know the environment is not taking a hit with plain, basic boxing.

Best Under $10

Introducing the Spa Life Lavender Bath Bomb Set. A set of 6 in this gift set breaks down to less than a couple of bucks per bomb. They are smaller than the winners of course. They are suitable for anyone on a budget but still looking for bath bombs with recovery properties.

Look at Spa Life bath bombs on Amazon

The gift bag wont take heavy use but the bath bombs are divine.

The carry case might be unnecessary but could also come in handy. Inside, however, there are 6 x Lavender bath bombs with which to unwind and relax in the bath.

Lavender is known for its muscle relief benefits and the scent is complimented with real lavender flowers infused into the recipe too.

HINT: The supplied clear gift bag is not of quality and won’t last long, but could come in handy for something. Maybe that clear plastic bag required when taking small liquids on a plane. At least this can be sealed with the zip.

What kind of bath is good for sore muscles?

The best bath for relieving sore muscles and the aches and pains of the day should be at around 112 degrees, deep enough to be able to feel covered, and containing a relaxing bath bomb with essential oils and Epsom salts to melt away your stress and any aches.

Is a cold bath or a hot bath best for sore muscles?

Both hot and cold baths will provide relief from muscle pain but in different ways. It is all to do with blood flow.

  • Hot = Promotion of blood flow
  • Cold = restriction of blood flow

When to use a cold bath

Coldwater and ice will restrict blood flow to an injured area. This will limit swelling and bruising to the affected area. You will often have seen sportsmen and women using ice packs immediately after sustaining a suspected injury. This can include injuries to muscles when they have been pulled or strained

When to use a hot bath

Hot water [Actually Warm] will promote blood flow and if your muscles are sore but not injured then the additional blood pumping into the vessels will aid recovery of overused and worked out muscles all over your body.
