what our customers are saying

“Muscle Mud is amazing! I recently fell on the ice and my neck and wrists were very sore. A friend recommended Muscle Mud and I purchased some that day. I applied it at bedtime that night and the next morning my muscles had relaxed. Within two days I was feeling back to normal. Muscle Mud is different than other muscle creams, it actually heals the muscles. I will always keep this in my cabinet.”

“I use it before and after workouts. The only thing in my medicine cabinet for sore, achy muscles.”

“I wish this magic salve came in a bigger container because I use it for pretty much everything – after long bus/plane rides, post workouts, kinks in my shoulders after sleeping, random bruises, you name it. Sometimes if I can’t sleep I just rub some on my neck to relax. It works every time and I love that it’s natural so I can reapply without worrying about side effects. If you’re prone to any kind of soreness I would definitely recommend a bottle (or two!).”

“All of the other creams I’ve ever tried just numb the pain, but musclemud actually treats the soreness and gets me back to the gym the next day.”

“As I age, I find I get sore more than I used to. A lot more. Muscle Mud has been integral in my recovery process… the speed at which it addresses and relieves my pain is amazing. I’ve also used it after being hunched over my computer for a full workday — quickly resolves the tightness and soreness in my shoulders and neck. I’ve even applied it right after a workout and before I get sore to the places I know were affected… I rarely get sore on those days. The stuff is amazing!”

“This stuff is incredible. I applied it after a Spartan Beast race and again that night before bed, woke up the next day feeling like I could go run another one. Worth the $$$!”

“This magic mud sinks down deep to help diminish my post-wod soreness, if not completely alleviate it! On those days that I can still feel the soreness after using it, I cringe to think of how sore I would be without it!”

“It’s amazing and works like magic! I first used it when my neck was sore and stiff after being in a car accident – all my pain was gone the next day! I can’t imagine wodding 5 days a week without it!”

“Muscle Mud keeps our family of users recovering faster and getting back after it better than anything we’ve ever used before. Two adult CrossFitters, one a trail runner too…two high school athletes running, swimming and playing basketball as well as CrossFitting during season and out of season. We can’t recommend it enough.”

“This is the first cream I have ever used that helps you heal. All of the creams I have ever tried just numbed the pain, musclemud actually treats the soreness and gets me back to the gym the next day. I love it!”

“After a relatively serious back injury that resulted in multiple back spasms and contracture, Muscle Mud was the only thing that eased the pain. I applied it three times a day for about a week and was able to avoid taking any medication. It saved me! Muscle Mud not only helps with exercise-induced muscle pain, but also aids healing after muscle injury. It’s incredible!”

“Muscle Mud provides relief from soreness after each grueling CrossFit workout, day of skiing, and mountain bike ride. The quick effectiveness of the product is pleasantly surprising and therapeutic!”

“This stuff is awesome!! After having trouble sleeping due to cramp achy back muscles, I tried the Musclemud and slept like a baby. A little goes a long way, so you don’t have to use a lot to get results. I really appreciate having an opportunity to purchase a natural cream instead of synthetic over-the-counter ointments. I highly recommend it!!”

“Mud me. My two favorite words for pain relief and recovery. I use it following workouts and after a long day at the office, it works miracles on the stress knots I get in my back. The smell is fabulous and a little Mud goes a long way. I highly recommend it!”

“I use this product on my patient athletes and competitors. As a sports medicine acupuncturist I have to get my patients out of pain and back in the game QUICK. This product definitely helps and speeds up the process. Chinese Herbs to the rescue! Thanks for the awesome product!”
