For an all-natural treatment to soothe sore muscles after a tough workout, try apple cider vinegar. Lillian M. Beard, M.D., recommends soaking a cloth in vinegar and wrapping your aching muscle for about 20 minutes. Apple cider vinegar works by drawing out lactic acid—which causes your muscle aches. Reapply the cloth every three to four hours for best results.
