After the race, Indian athletes often rely on traditional local products for recovery and rejuvenation. One popular item is sandalwood paste, known for its cooling properties that help soothe muscle inflammation.
Another essential product is Ayurvedic oils, specifically Dhanwantharam oil, which is used in post-race massages to relieve muscle soreness and improve blood circulation. These oils are made from natural herbs like ginger, turmeric, and sesame oil.
Indian athletes also consume local nutritional supplements such as Chyawanprash, an herbal jam made from amla and other ingredients that boost immunity and energy levels after intense physical activity.
Additionally, products like coconut water and jaggery are commonly used to replenish electrolytes and provide instant energy recovery after the race. |
