We are obsessed with Magnesium oil for many reasons - one being that Magnesium Chloride is one of, if not THE most absorbable and ready to use by the body, forms of magnesium that there is. 
 
Magnesium plays a role in over 80% of the metabolic processes in our body and unfortunately most people are deficient in magnesium because our soils our depleted - which means that our food is no longer offering us adequate amounts of this essential mineral. Magnesium binds to many toxins in the body and due to excess exsposure to toxins for the average human these days, much of our magnesium reserves are used up by this process. That is one of the main reasons why it is so important to make sure that you are giving your body the magnesium that it needs. 
 
We believe topical magnesium to be superior to most magnesium supplements taken internally because it by-passes the digestive tract, where much magnesium can be lost due to competition with other minerals such as calcium, and instead absorbs directly into the skin and is carried to where the body needs it most! 
 
Magnesium deficiency can lead to a long list of ailments and diseases including: 
 
Bone loss
Diabetes
Muscle deterioration 
Anxiety & Depression
Different forms of arthritis 
Hormone irregularities 
Heart disease
Poor circulation
High cholesterol 
& so much more! 
 
Dr. Carolyn Dean offers many resources and much research on magnesium.
I recommend all of her books as well as the book "Transdermal Magnesium Therapy" by Mark Sircus for those of you who want to dive deeper into this miracle mineral! 
 
Here is how we recommend using this oil: 
 
Spray generously on your feet each night before bed. This practice has been shown to improve quality of sleep and when done consistently works to restore your mineral reserves and help correct imbalances in the body caused by magnesium deficiency. 
 
We also like to use this spray to decrease pain and promote healing in all areas of the body. If a part of your body hurts, we recommend 2-3 squirts of the oil on the area of pain, gently rubbing it in. Magnesium Chloride works to relax the tissue in the area and bring fresh blood to the tissues, move old stangant blood out, and nourish the area. 
 
When you first begin working with this oil, it may cause some itchiness and discomfort when you spray it in places other than your feet. This is a normal reaction caused by a deficiency of magnesium which will resolve itself as you refill your magnesium reserves. 
What you can do to prevent that is mix 2-4 squirts of the magnesium oil into 1 tablespoon of a carrier oil such as castor oil or coconut oil. 
Magnesium oil has shown to increase energy when applied to the upperbody due to the increase of circulation and stimulation, so some people may want to avoid using it on their upperbody before bed and only using it on the feet or below the knees when going to bed. 
 
Magnesium oil has a wide range of uses including: 
 
Correcting nutrient deficiency 
Sprayed on armpits as deoderant 
4-5 squirts in 3 oz of water, swished in mouth as mouth wash 
Increase libido - you can spray magnesium directly on your intimate areas to increase blood flow and excite the nerves, however we recommend spraying and rubbing it on the inner thigh the first couple of times until you get used to the sensation and know how your body will respond to it. 
Help you to sleep
& more!
