The healing properties of shea butter aren't limited to just the skin. Rich healing antioxidants and restorative vitamins can also help ease the tightness, tension, and soreness of overworked muscles. Shea butter may also be whipped - just like regular cooking butter - with muscle relaxing essential oils such as lavender or frankincense to help relax muscle soreness. The phytonutrients found in it also impart plant protein - the building blocks of muscle - to your body to help restore torn muscle fibers from exercise.
