Loveskiing’s Massage Oil with Arnica Review
If you are heading away to the slopes this season you will undoubtedly need some relaxation and TLC after a hard day on the mountain. A good massage balm and a soak in a lovely warm bath should restore you to your best, ready for the next day on the mountains. Someone has to test these type of products to guide others which are good and so after much persuasion… the Loveskiing team have tested Weleda’s Arnica based Massage Balm.
Weleda is a Swiss company started in the 1920s and unsurprisingly they have learnt a great deal about alpine plants and how to harness the natural goodness. All of the Weleda products are completely natural and suitable for vegetarians. One particular alpine plant that is suited to apres ski recovery is Arnica Montana. Weleda have used Arnica to create one of their first and most successful natural products: Massage Balm with Arnica (100ml).
The therapeutic plant extracts soothes and relaxes you both physically and through gentle aromatic scents. The dark golden liquid was a well earned indulgence for our weary muscles. The special formula is created using flowers from the Scottish Black Isle and it is formulated for the relief of muscular pain and stiffness, rheumatic pain, backache, fibrositis, cramp, sprains and bruising.
So after a battering on the slopes, through the backcountry and long treks carrying our skis we decided to try the massage balm and wow we were impressed. From the moment I opened the bottle the natural aromas soothed and relaxed my mind and then the luxurious colour and feel of the oil itself continued my state of relaxation. After using the oil on my calfs and thighs, which had been abused through the thick stuff all day, they felt noticeably looser and the aching was reduced instantly and it had even disappeared by the morning so I was fresh and raring to go again.
I would certainly recommend Weleda Massage Oil with Arnica to all skiers and snowboarders out their, whether you are a fair weather skier or a mogul madman, it will enhance your holiday!
