The menthol in Vick’s does not only give a refreshing cool to your skin, but it also helps improve your blood circulation. If you’re feeling sore, grab some Vicks and rub it onto the areas that are particularly sore. It should provide relief and comfort to those areas. You might even want to keep an extra jar in your gym bag. Going to the gym can really leave you sore, so this will help.
