    Be really careful with it, that's all. Too strong and you'll get chemical burns.
    I'd also suggest almond oil instead of olive oil. It absorbs better.

    Back when I did a lot of cold, open water swimming, I used peppermint oil mixed in Vaseline to keep my muscles warm. Smear it on the legs and arms, and it was waterproofed heat.

    Arnica gel or arnica homeopathic remedy is great for sore muscles, bruises, and general trauma to the body.

      To add to that, I really like the dissolvable arnica tabs for when I have soreness in more than one area (i.e. after a new/hard workout and my whole body hurts, lol). Arnica gel is great for specific areas but the tabs (you dissolve under the tongue) seem to work better for whole-body aches.
