How to make Magnesium Oil and how to use Magnesium Salts

 Since I found Magnesium Oil I have been obsessed with it.  It has so many uses.    The salts, which are pure magnesium chloride crystals can be used on their own or to make the oil.    I don't think I can give these salts justice in explaining all they do.

First the importance of Magnesium.   Most Americans are low in Magnesium.   Being low in Magnesium can cause sore muscles, low recovery time, weakened immune system, nervousness, insomnia, constipation just to name a few.    It also fights signs of aging and cellulite! Sure you can take oral magnesium supplements but they tend to cause gas and frequent visits to the bathroom.  Plus, if you are the average American your gut is not very healthy and it doesn't absorb nutrients well.    Luckily, there is Magnesium chloride that can be used trans-dermal.   You can use it as an oil, bath or foot bath.   My personal favorites are the foot bath and oil.
A great book about Magnesium is The Magnesium Miracle.
First lets talk about the oil.  You can buy it or make it.   When I use to buy it I bought this one.   It works great and I liked it enough.   Now I make my own though and I will show you how to do the same.

It's really easy.  All you need is salt, boiling water and a spray bottle.    The stronger you make it the more likely it will sting when you spray it.  The stinging will not harm you but it can hurt.  Especially if you are spraying a wound.    To start off  use a 50/50 ratio, you can always make it more or less to fit your needs.  I.E.   Boil 1 cup of water.  Remove from heat and let it cool a bit.   Mix in 1 cup of magnesium salts.  Let dissolve and then add to your spray bottle.      You can get the magnesium salts here.www.aromaticsandherbs.etsy.com

Here are the ways I use my magnesium oil.   I spray it on my toothpaste before I brush my teeth.  I do this for the kids too.   It helps fight cavities and can remineralize tooth enamel.    I spray some of it on my fingers and rub onto my face every night.   The 11s between my eyebrows have nearly disappeared in just 2 months.   I spray it on my whole body before I go to bed.   I use it to heal wounds but I warn you it BURNS.  I dilute it even more for the kids.   I use it as a deodorant and it works beyond great.    My son gets little facial warts and we have eliminated all but one with the magnesium oil. The one left was the largest and now it's very tiny so it should be gone soon.  

Next, the foot bath.     This is the best way to use Magnesium chloride therapeutically.  If you suspect a Magnesium deficiency this is essential in your healing.   After a stressful day I can just feel it melt right away when I use a foot bath.  It's just wonderful.     I take 1 cup of salts and add it to 2 cups of hot water.   Let your feet soak for AT LEAST 30 minutes.   Do this nightly.

Lastly, the bath.      Add 2 cups of salts to your bath and soak for 20 minutes.    Simple!

I hope you fall in love with them as much as I have!

Peace and Love,
