Answer 7

rubbing alcohol's not good for you. try lavender essential oil, or marjoram with epsom salts, and a cup of tea

Answer 8

If you live somewhere where it is legal, smoke weed and get in a bubble bath with soft music playing. It will be the most enjoyable experiences you have ever felt. (This is mostly a joke, but I'm also serious) :D

Answer 9

I love essential oils.  This is a recipe for a muscle relaxer:

cedarwood-4 drops

chamomile-4 drops

lavender-4 drops

lemongrass-3 drops

put in a carrier oil such as almond, avocado, borage, flaxseed, grapeseed, hazelnut, jojoba, olive, sesame, walnut.

Use 1 teaspoon of your choice of carrier oil. Put it in your bath water after you have filled the tub. (If you put it in while you are filling the tub it will evaporate.)

Answer 10

I believe epsom salt and then maybe you should get a rub down from your man!
