Magnesium Chloride Crystal Bath Flakes

Relax, unwind and replenish with magnesium sea salt.

Magnesium is a simple salt that exists abundantly in sea water; the sea typically contains 3% magnesium (dry weight) in the form of magnesium chloride. It's the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential for good health. Its alkalizing effect helps maintain optimum pH levels. Unfortunately it's the most deficient major mineral; over 80% of the population are deficient. Depleted soils, refined, processed foods, food additives and alcohol are major causes. The body stores approximately 50% of it's magnesium in bones, 1% in blood and the rest inside the cells of tissues and organs. The key here is that in order to maintain a constant level of magnesium in the blood, the body pulls it from the bones and cells. The easiest and fastest way to reverse a magnesium deficiency is transdermally (through the skin.) Magnesium supplements are difficult to absorb due to their laxative effect but magnesium chloride flakes dissolved in the bath or oil sprayed on the skin delivers magnesium directly through the skin naturally and gently. The available magnesium is taken up in 15-20 minutes. 1. Taking a magnesium bath. Add 1-3 cups for a deeply therapeutic bath, 3 cups will give maximum benefit. The water should be warm and not too hot. This is an excellent way to deliver needed trace minerals directly to the body. 2. Foot bath. Soaking the feet in a magnesium foot bath also helps to replenish magnesium levels. 3. Magnesium oil. Massage into the skin, after 20 minutes it will have been absorbed through. You can apply anywhere, but keep away from eyes and mucous membranes when undiluted. Apply to the legs, stomach, back, shoulders etc. Use on the neck and shoulders to treat stress; the legs and feet to work with the lymph system; the abdomen to work with the digestive system.It's good to use before retiring and then it can stay on all night before showering or bathing the following morning. See below how easy it is to make Magnesium oil yourself at a fraction of the cost of commercially prepared oil. Regular use for a month or two will help to replenish magnesium levels. Having reversed a magnesium deficiency maintain levels using the oil several times a week or having an occasional magnesium bath. It can also be used as needed for sore muscles or as a massage oil. The flakes must be kept in a dry place to store or they will meld together in a solid mass.

*How to make magnesium oil* Although it's called magnesium oil there isn't actually any oil in it! It is easily made by re-hydrating magnesium chloride crystals with just enough water to create a very light oil-like solution. This is the simplest and most affordable way to make it yourself. Fill a plastic drip or spray bottle with magnesium flakes then add just sufficient high quality water (or colloidal silver) to dissolve them. The resulting liquid is ready when the solution has become totally saturated with flakes. There is no need to actually work the flakes into an oil; once the flakes are dissolved it feels like oil. When using magnesium chloride for the first time, apply a little onto a small area of skin and wait to see if there is any reaction. Sometimes people with sensitive skin will feel a little stinging or redness appear. If this is so dilute until the skin gets use to this 'condensed ancient sea water'. If the body rashes out, discontinue until the rash clears; then resume use. The body will eventually adjust to its use. Avoid using on cuts and broken skin. Further information Food sources rich in magnesium include sea greens, all green vegetables and fruits such as spinach, parsley, avocado, cucumber, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grain buckwheat, millet, rye and super foods spirulina, chlorella and cacao. Cacao (raw unprocessed chocolate beans and powder) is rich in sulfur and magnesium. Cacao seems to be the number one source of magnesium of any food. This is probably the primary reason women crave chocolate during their period. Magnesium balances the brain's chemistry and is associated with more happiness. Many health issues are related to magnesium deficiency. Anxiety, Depression and Panic Attacks: Magnesium helps keep adrenal stress hormones under control and maintain normal brain function. Magnesium deficiency is one of the major nutritional reasons for depression. Magnesium has a calming effect on anxiety symptoms and stress levels. Asthma: Magnesium helps relax the muscles of the bronchioles in the lungs. Constipation: Magnesium helps to keep the bowels regular by maintaining normal bowel-muscle function. Diabetes: Magnesium helps insulin transport glucose into the cell. Without this, glucose builds up in tissue causing glycaemic stress and damage. Eye care: 1 drop of diluted oil to 15 drops of purified or distilled water used as an eye bath reduces inflammation and tired eyes. (watch Dr. Marc Sircus's video on our links page) Headaches: Studies indicate there is a relationship between migraines, tension headaches and low levels of magnesium. Heart Disease and High Blood Pressure: Magnesium has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system. Due to its natural muscle relaxant ability, it also plays an important role in regulating blood pressure. Without adequate magnesium, blood vessels constrict and blood pressure increases. When blood vessels are relaxed there is less resistance to the flow of blood and as a result, blood pressure is lower. Magnesium deficiency is common in those with heart disease. Insomnia: Magnesium helps regulate melatonin, a hormone that's essential for normal sleep cycles. Immunity: Magnesium helps the body enhance its immune system. Kidney Stones: Restoring magnesium levels has been found effective in the prevention and treatment of kidney stones. Low Energy and Fatigue: Magnesium plays a key role in regulating how well the human body converts food into energy. Metabolism of carbohydrates and fats requires numerous magnesium-dependent chemical reactions. Research has suggested that persistent magnesium deficiency may lead to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Muscle Tension, Spasms, Cramps, Restless legs: Irritating little twitches in the eyelid or painful muscle cramping that wakes you up in the night are often signs of magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is needed for proper muscle relaxation and contraction, excessive muscle tension (resulting in spasms, tics and restlessness) could mean that you are magnesium deficient. As this mineral is lost through bodily fluids, athletes who sweat heavily while training or are prone to loose stools may experience cramping due to magnesium deficiency. Oral care: Magnesium, diluted and sprayed into the mouth several times daily will stimulate the medulla oblongata and develop enamel on the teeth. Osteoporosis: Without magnesium, calcium may actually contribute to osteoporosis. Calcium was long considered the key mineral in the prevention of Osteoporosis, but new research has proved that magnesium supplementation is equally important in the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. (See below.) Parkinson's disease: There are some cases that have improved considerably with the application of Magnesium Chloride. The symptoms of Parkinson's such as shaking, muscle spasm, personality changes and nervous disorders is a classic 'symptom-picture' for magnesium deficiency. PMS and Hormonal Imbalances: Carolyn Dean, MD, states one of the 22 conditions magnesium deficiency may trigger is hormonal imbalance leading to premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and dysmenorrhoea (cramping pain during menses.) Pain Relief: Massage into arthritic joints and muscles. Topical magnesium treatments are also useful in treatment of sport injuries. Use as compresses for aches and pains of sore muscles. Skin care: Massage regularly on dry, sun damaged or wrinkled skin to rejuvenate from the inside out. Use to fade age spots. Mix with a little frankincense and myrrh and apply to scar tissue. Massage onto the scalp to improve the growth and texture of new hair. To use as a deodorant and for cosmetic use dilute with 2 parts water to one part magnesium chloride. Information from Dr. Mark Sircus's book: "The Dance of Calcium and Magnesium" "If you don't have enough magnesium to help keep calcium dissolved, you may end up with calcium excess muscle spasms, fibromyalgia, hardening of the arteries, and even dental cavities. Another scenario plays out in the kidneys. If there is too much calcium in the kidneys and not enough magnesium to dissolve it, you can get kidney stones. All muscles, including the heart and blood vessels, contain more magnesium than calcium. If magnesium is deficient, calcium floods the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels and therefore higher blood pressure, arterial spasm, angina and heart attack. A proper balance of magnesium in relation to calcium can prevent these symptoms. Calcium excess, stimulating the cells in the muscular layer of the temporal arteries over the temples, can cause migraine headaches. Excess calcium can constrict the smooth muscle surrounding the small airways of the lung, causing restricted breathing and asthma. The irony of the calcium-magnesium story is that without magnesium, calcium will not work properly. Both our current diet and tendency to over supplement with calcium, make getting enough magnesium almost impossible. Research shows that the ratio of calcium to magnesium in the Paleolithic or caveman diet--the ancient diet that had evolved with our bodies--was 1:1, compared with a 5:1 to 15:1 ratio in present-day diets. With an average of ten times more calcium than magnesium in our current diet, there is no doubt about widespread magnesium deficiency in modern times. Although research has accumulated on magnesium over the past 40 yrs, it has never been adequately publicized and discussed." People with kidney or heart disease should not supplement with magnesium without the guidance of a medical doctor.
