Magnesium Oil – Transdermal Magnesium

Posts Tagged ‘absorbable magnesium’

Oral supplementation is probably the first one most of us will think of when we talk about topping up our level of magnesium in the body. However, not all of us can absorb oral magnesium efficiently, especially if the digestive system is clogged up with impurities, or is not very efficient – which is true of the majority of the world population over the age of 30. Even when it is healthy, much of magnesium we take orally passes through the body unabsorbed, and if we take too much then even less of it will be absorbed, since it is a laxative.


This makes transdermal magnesium supplementation a much more suitable and attractive option for most people. Transdermally, magnesium gets into the cells – where it is most needed – much more quickly than it does when taken by mouth.


The most popular ways to supplement magnesium transdermally is a bath, a spray, or a massage. Body spray and massage are most economical ways to do it. Just spray or massage the body with magnesium oil once a day after a bath or a shower. Leave it on for 1 hour, or even overnight if you can, and you should feel the relaxing and tension relieving effects of magnesium very soon.


Transdermally, magnesium can also be administered in baths, foot baths and compresses. For a bath I suggest using magnesium flakes as the more economical way to achieve the best concentration. Use about 500g -1kg of magnesium chloride flake in a bath, and 250g – 500g in a foot bath. Such procedures are most beneficial before bed time, since deep relaxation resulting from and increase of magnesium in the body will certainly promote sleep.




FAR-INFRARED MAGNESIUM WRAP


This is an amazingly relaxing and therapeutic treatment which I have developed recently. It is aimed at those who are desperately deficient in magnesium and need quick supplementation. The treatment uses far-infrared heat to open up pores and boost circulation not only in the skin, but in deeper body structures. With the pores open and blood flow increased, magnesium stands a better chance to be absorbed quickly and in large quantities.


The treatment is preceded by a massage to stimulate circulation and soften up the tissues. The infrared heat helps open up the cell membranes, which contributes towards magnesium absorption.


Apart from being very therapeutic, the treatment is thoroughly relaxing, thanks to the effects of magnesium and the infrared heat. It promotes detoxification on the cellular level, helps to relieve aches, pains, muscle spasms, arthritis, sleep problems, fatigue, boost immunity, promote relaxation, help relieve water retention and is a really great start to a weight loss programme. People generally lose a lot of water during the treatment which has an added physical effect of feeling lighter afterwards.


One of my customers described the way she felt during the treatment as “wrapped in a soft cocoon”, and another said that it felt “like being in a mother’s womb waiting to be born”.

The levels of magnesium in the body are depleted due to a number of factors, such as stress – physical and mental, certain medications (e.g. insulin, diuretics, some asthma medications, birth control pills, corticosteroids), extreme physical training, chemical toxins getting into the body from the environment, excessive intake of sodium chloride (table salt), sugar, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, fizzy drinks (especially colas), intense sweating, diarrhoea, etc. Age is another factor which plays a major role in magnesium deficiency.

This information is quoted from the Office of Dietary Supplements website:

“…There is concern about the prevalence of sub-optimal magnesium stores in the body. For many people, dietary intake may not be high enough to promote an optimal magnesium status, which may be protective against disorders such as cardiovascular disease and immune dysfunction.

The health status of the digestive system and the kidneys significantly influence magnesium status. Magnesium is absorbed in the intestines and then transported through the blood to cells and tissues. Approximately one-third to one-half of dietary magnesium is absorbed into the body. Gastrointestinal disorders that impair absorption such as Crohn’s disease can limit the body’s ability to absorb magnesium. These disorders can deplete the body’s stores of magnesium and in extreme cases may result in magnesium deficiency. Chronic or excessive vomiting and diarrhea may also result in magnesium depletion.

Healthy kidneys are able to limit urinary excretion of magnesium to compensate for low dietary intake. However, excessive loss of magnesium in urine can be a side effect of some medications and can also occur in cases of poorly-controlled diabetes and alcohol abuse”. http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/magnesium.asp

As we have learned from previous posts on this blog, magnesium plays a very important part in the way we feel physically and psychologically. Magnesium deficiency is directly connected to muscle cramps, aches, pains, arthritis, osteoporosis, nervous exhaustion, stress-related disorders, fatigue, poor immunity, insomnia, headaches, migraines, depression, anxiety, toxicity and many more. Pregnant women and young mothers, sportsmen, children, elderly people, professional people, all benefit tremendously from magnesium supplementation. However, oral supplementation is not always the most efficient way to top up our magnesium levels, since only a relatively small percentage of magnesium gets absorbed from the gut into the blood stream. If we take too much oral magnesium we get diarrhoea, and then we absorb even less of it.

So what is the solution to it? Transdermal magnesium supplementation (via the skin) is the best and most efficient way to get required amount of magnesium into the body fairly fast. Of course, it does not beat intravenous injections – they are the fastest acting. But for most people transdermal magnesium applications are by far the most convenient way to get magnesium into the body.

One of the best and most pleasant ways to do it is via a massage. Magnesium oil is not actually an oil but a highly concentrated magnesium chloride solution. When the flake is mixed with water in 1:1 ratio the concentration is really high. You do not need such a high concentration of course – more water can be added (e.g. 1 part of flake to 2 parts of water). A more concentrated solution will result in more magnesium chloride being absorbed into the body though. Use the solution as you would use any oil. The results are simply phenomenal. Any aches, pains, stresses simply disappear during the treatment. Physical and psychological relaxation is profound and obvious. If your client suffers from exhaustion, insomnia, headaches, migraines, stress, aches, pains, knotted muscles, painful joints, chronic fatigue – all of these will be helped.

The only thing with magnesium oil is that it has a slight stinging sensation to it being a salt. I personally do not mind and find it pleasant. Sometimes it can cause an irritation in softer areas like the neck. However, benefits by far outweigh any temporary discomfort. I have earlier described my own experience with magnesium oil when I had excruciating pain and burning sensation in my neck and shoulders. Although it later brought in a rash and spots, the relief I experienced from magnesium oil was so quick and profound that I will not think twice if and when I have pain in any area of my body again. I thoroughly recommend this luxurious treatment – apply it at home or ask your therapist.
