Can camphor spirit be used before a workout, or only afterwards? — Camphor Spirit 10% 25 ml - Vitateka

VITATEKA camphor spirit 10% is suitable for both scenarios, but with different aims.

• Before training or a massage, it is applied to quickly create a feeling of warmth in the desired area and increase local blood circulation before a warm-up or manual therapy. This is especially relevant in cold weather, when muscles take longer to “warm up”.
• After exertion, rubbing with camphor spirit helps add a local invigorating sensation in areas that feel stiff or tired. The product does not replace proper recovery, stretching or rest, but it can be part of your usual body care after physical activity.

It is important to bear in mind that camphor irritates the skin’s receptors, creating a feeling of warmth — this is a local effect, not deep heating of the tissues. Therefore, in the case of serious sports injuries, acute pain or inflammation, the product is not a substitute for medical care. If you have a chronic joint or muscle condition, it is worth consulting a specialist before regular use.

The bottle is best stored at room temperature, away from open flames — the alcohol base is highly flammable.
