You can dose daily for 20-30min to minimize pain, but I'd not want to see someone using it chronically to keep pain low. It has both anti-inflammatory and blood circulating properties.
You'd want to go see an herbalist to get a plaster for healing purposes, IMO, if you can't treat it otherwise. Sometime like a dog skin plaster.'
Are your quad particularly tight? I'd bet that gaining flexibility there, especially in the rectus femurs (as well as other hip flexors) would help here.
You'll have to avoid the stuff that hurts. Extensive stretching before training may relive pain during these exercise, TBH.
