It would largely depend on what sort of soreness you're talking about. Is it localized or general soreness? Is it from a bruise or injury? Is it from the muscles or bones? More information is needed to really give good advice.

Muscles and both localized and general. The localized is from bruises but the general is well, just in general.

Eucalyptus essential oil in carrier oil helps greatly with sore muscles and joints. Peppermint works well, too. Both as rubs, not to drink. Hope you feel better soon.

Arnica cream is very useful for bruises. You can generally find it in health food stores and some drugstores.

Drink plenty of water and take vitamin c too as it helps recover.

Eucalyptus and peppermint are awesome ideas

If it is from inflammation, ginger root will help.

I've always had excellent results with chamomile as a poultice for myself and my kids. I once dropped a metal flashlight on my foot and it immediately purpled. 20 minutes with chamomile and the next day I couldn't tell I was ever injured. Castor oil is pretty handy on older bruises.
