Summer is the perfect time to spend more time outdoors. Whether you enjoy hiking in the mountains, long bike rides, gardening, or a day at the lake playing beach volleyball, the warmer months offer plenty of opportunities to stay active. However, it is often not until the following day that you realize just how much your muscles have been working.
Especially after unfamiliar or particularly strenuous activities, conscious recovery is important. Getting enough sleep, staying well hydrated, and taking short breaks all help the body recover from physical exertion.
Ointments can also provide support, such as MURMELIN Sports and Joint Ointment.
Marmot Oil – A Traditional Companion
The use of marmot oil has a long tradition in the Alpine region. For centuries, it has been valued in traditional home remedies and traditionally used during massages following physical exertion. Whether after hiking, sports activities, or strenuous physical work, marmot oil remains a popular companion for active people today.
Many users associate marmot oil primarily with the care of tired and heavily used muscles and joints, as well as with the soothing effects of a massage after an active day.
What Does Marmot Oil Contain?
Pure marmot oil contains various fatty acids, including palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid, as well as vitamin E and naturally occurring corticosteroids.
To this day, numerous massage therapists and practitioners use marmot oil and marmot-based products as part of their daily massage treatments.
Interesting fact: Pure marmot oil has traditionally not only been used externally. In traditional folk medicine, it was also sometimes taken internally, for example as an ingredient in old home remedies.
Sustainable Use of a Traditional Natural Product
Many people wonder where marmot oil actually comes from.
Marmots are not hunted specifically for the production of ointments. In Austria, regulated marmot hunting takes place in late summer – usually in August and September – as part of population management and before the animals enter hibernation. Only a small portion of the animals obtained through hunting is carefully processed by hand into high-quality marmot oil.
The use of marmot oil therefore represents the meaningful utilization of a natural product that would otherwise be left unused.
Murmelin – Trusted for Decades
For Murmelin Marmot Ointment, BANO uses high-quality marmot oil sourced from marmots in Tyrol and Vorarlberg.
Murmelin combines traditional marmot oil with other carefully selected ingredients:
- Natural arnica extract
- Cooling menthol
- Mountain pine oil
The ointment supports circulation after physical exertion and sports, has a relaxing effect, and provides a soothing sensation for the joints and the musculoskeletal system as a whole.
For almost 40 years, numerous loyal customers have trusted Murmelin. It is also one of the most frequently recommended marmot ointments in Austrian pharmacies.
Ideal After Active Summer Days
After a mountain tour, a long hike, a bike ride, or an intense workout, muscles and joints can be subjected to considerable strain. That is why Murmelin should have a place in every hiking backpack, sports bag, and home first-aid kit, especially during the summer months.
A massage with Murmelin can complement your recovery routine and provide a pleasant, soothing feeling after physical activity.
Thanks to its pleasantly light texture, the ointment absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, making it ideal for daily use. Murmelin Marmot Ointment can be applied directly to the affected area two to three times a day.
Conclusion
Summer is the perfect season to stay active. Whether you enjoy hiking, cycling, or gardening, physical activity is fun and good for you. But recovery afterwards is just as important. With sufficient rest, a soothing massage, and Murmelin Marmot Ointment, you can be well prepared for your next adventure.
