[pct-l] Managing soreness

[Stephen Clark]

Besides the joint health and electrolyte drinks, I use a deep heating lotion on my legs and feet that is mostly Aloe, Camphor, and Eucalyptus every morning before hiking (legs only in the morning). It penetrates deep and warms /relaxes from inside.  I use it after hiking as well massaging it into my feet and legs. It's a direct marketing product that can only be purchased through distributors. It works well as I've hiked 1000s of miles doing this with minimal discomfort.
