Why Magnesium?

Magnesium Therapy is a quick and easy way to absorb magnesium through your skin to replenish your magnesium stores. It is an essential mineral which plays a role in over 300 enzyme systems in our bodies.

Most of us suffer from a magnesium deficiency because we simply don't consume enough magnesium-rich foods. It is a well documented fact that a deficiency can cause a wide array of debilitating issues that will greatly affect one's quality of life and overall wellbeing.

Many supplementing with magnesium take it orally, but as with all supplements, it only works well if your digestion is working optimally. My favourite way to give my body the much-needed magnesium is through my skin. For boosting magnesium levels this way, you need magnesium chloride and NOT magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts). While Epsom salt baths have been used successfully for soothing aches, pains, and sprains, it is however rapidly excreted from the body and does little to boost internal magnesium levels.

Magnesium chloride is safe, incredibly fast acting and easily recognised and used by the human metabolic system. There is an enormous amount of literature that shows the amazing benefits of using magnesium chloride. This includes an increase in our energy levels and performance in sports. It helps us improve sleep quality by helping our mind and body to relax. Interestingly, studies have shown that in children, the supplementing of magnesium helps calm them, enhances their focus and they sleep better.

We have taken magnesium chloride and whipped it into luxurious, silky body butters made with only natural ingredients. The action of magnesium, together with the therapeutic effect of specifically selected essential oils, is a wonderful tonic that soothes the body, helps stabilize mood, lowers stress reactions and clarifies the mind. I like to use my body butter when I climb into bed, because I find that I sleep more soundly after I get that hit of magnesium. It also doubles up as a silky foot balm.
