In it's natural state, unrefined, it is a sort of healing cream that will help a whole load of problems and muscle aches are one of them. Rubbing this on before you begin a workout can really help prevent muscle aches. Not to mention the good skin benefits that will come with it.

After you've showered up, you can rub more Shea Butter on to combat the pains of tired and sore muscles. A great idea is to melt the Shea Butter until it's comfortably warm, and rub this into your skin, massaging your muscles. Not only does the rich, warm Shea Butter feel sinfully good, but you can practically kiss those muscle aches goodbye.

Shea Butter contains an all-natural substance called Stigmasterol (Anti-Stiffness Factor). Stigmasterol is an unsaturated plant sterol found in Pure Unrefined Certified Organic Shea Butter. It is also known as the anti-stiffness factor because it has the ability to relax tired muscles and relieve swelling and muscle tension. Grab some Shea Butter before your next workout to soothe tired muscles!
