DMSO & Summer Fun: Your Guide to Comfort

Summer is here! The days are longer, the sun is brighter, and everything just feels more alive. It’s the season of barefoot walks in the grass, weekend hikes, family trips, gardening marathons, and spontaneous adventures. But let’s be honest—if you’re living with chronic pain, inflammation, or old injuries that love to crash the party, all that movement can come at a cost. That’s where DMSO comes in—supporting your body so you can stay active, mobile, and feeling your best all summer long.

That’s why we created this Summer Wellness Guide—focused on how DMSO can be part of your warm-weather routine and help you make the most of the season ahead.

At Herbal Mana, we believe in simple, natural solutions that help you Hurt Less - Live More, and this guide is packed with practical tips to keep you going strong all summer.

1. Support Your Joints Before Activity

Whether it’s a morning walk, a round of golf, or chasing the grandkids through a splash pad, summer has a way of getting us up and moving. However, if your knees, back, or shoulders require a little extra care, prepping them ahead of time can make a significant difference.

• Apply a DMSO-based cream like Alpha Warrior before heading out to support flexibility and ease strain.

• Do a few light stretches or gentle yoga for chronic pain before activity to warm up muscles and improve circulation.

• Stay hydrated—water helps your joints stay lubricated and your energy levels steady.

2. Recover Faster After Outdoor Fun

More movement = more soreness, especially if you’ve been extra active or tried something new (we see you, pickleball players). That’s where DMSO shines.

• Use Royal Warrior Cream or Frankincense DMSO Gel after a long day to help reduce tension and soothe overworked muscles.

• Take a cool shower and gently massage the cream into sore areas. The DMSO helps the ingredients absorb deeply, supporting your body’s natural recovery process.

• Foam rolling and gentle stretching can also improve circulation and reduce tightness.

3. Keep Moving, Even While Traveling

Summer often means road trips, flights, and nights in unfamiliar beds—which can be tough on the body. Long hours of sitting can lead to stiffness and flare-ups, especially if you’re already managing joint or muscle discomfort.

• Bring a jar of DMSO cream to use during rest stops and before bed. (Pro-tip: applying it to the bottoms of your feet before sleeping makes a world of difference in the morning!) 

• Use pillows or rolled towels for better support when sleeping in new places.

• Stretch or walk for a few minutes every hour during long drives or flights.

4. Handle the Heat & Swelling

Heat and humidity can sometimes exacerbate inflammation and swelling or intensify discomfort. If you’re feeling extra puffy or tight, here’s how to cool down and bounce back:

• Apply Frankincense DMSO Cream after sun exposure to soothe skin and ease heat-related tension. Bonus: it even helps speed healing after sunburns!

• Try Epsom salt foot soaks to ease tired feet and calves after being on your feet all day.

• Drink plenty of water and eat potassium-rich foods, such as watermelon, bananas, and cucumbers, to help manage swelling naturally.

5. Don’t Let Nerve Discomfort Ruin Your Rest

Longer days and warmer nights can throw off your sleep schedule—especially if you’re dealing with nerve pain, stress, or discomfort that makes it hard to wind down.

• Use Inner Warrior Cream before bed—it’s packed with magnesium, MSM, and calming essential oils like lavender, chamomile, and rose to help your body unwind.

• Apply it to your neck, shoulders, or the bottoms of your feet as part of a calming nighttime routine.

• Keep your room cool and dark—your nervous system will thank you.

6. Make the Most of Summer, Naturally

At Herbal Mana, we believe summer is meant to be enjoyed—not endured. With the right natural tools in your corner, you can say “yes” to more moments, more memories, and more movement.

DMSO isn’t about fixing everything. It’s about giving your body the support it needs to keep going—comfortably, naturally, and on your terms.

Whether you’re spending the summer traveling, gardening, or just trying to keep up with daily life, Alpha Warrior Cream is a powerful way to support your joints and muscles so you can stay active and feel your best. Plus its cooling blend of essential oils and menthol is perfect for those hot summer days. 

This season, don’t let discomfort keep you on the sidelines. Explore Alpha Warrior Cream and see how it can help make this summer the best one yet.
