Embrocation Cream Helps Cyclists Maintain Comfort

By Kevin Trobecki


Most of us have never heard of embrocation cream. Let's face it, it sounds a bit mystical. Uncovering its secrets is easy, though. Just ask a cycling enthusiast, because they have the keys to using this unusual product. It is really a matter of learning when and how to use it.

Because this product includes ingredients to stimulate warmth on the skin surface, the tendency may be to confuse it with some sort of old fashioned muscle pain relief lotion. It does help to keep muscles warm when the weather is inclement. Unlike the old lotions, it smells good and is, more often than not, made using natural ingredients.
While many bicyclists apply this type of cream on a competitive race day, it is just as often used before training rides. They put a thin coat of it on calves, hamstrings, tendons and quadriceps. This amount is rubbed in using circular motions so that it absorbs into the skin.

Often, competitors will use the process as a sort of ritual meditation. They can protect their muscles from the elements, relax before a race and think about what is ahead as they prepare for it. It is a process as well as a product.

In ancient days, the idea of using something to moisten the body and rubbing it with an oil was akin to infusing it with a kind of healing spirit. Over time, the rubbing action became the name for the oils or lotions used. Creams have been developed which use all natural substances, hearkening back to an earlier time of communing with nature in a particular way.

Embrocation cream works on much more than leg muscles. Experienced riders generally apply it to sore arms, stiff necks and aching backs, too. Any area that may be uncomfortable in bad weather on a long ride can be covered and protected with it. For the devoted bicyclist, this is a secret worth exploring.
