Topical magnesium has an impact on the effective workings of more than 300 functions of the body and mind, including the production of melatonin for sleep and serotonin for stress. It speeds healing and recovery from injury or illness, relaxes the muscles and nerve sheaths, reduces the physical signs of aging and facilitates cell regeneration, regulates and balances body systems and chemistry, the list goes on……
Historically it has been used to support restless leg, cramp, pain, growing pain, stress, sleep, anxiety, depression, arthritis, osteoporosis, immunity, seizures, spasms, hair growth, muscle pain, nerve pain, headaches, migraines, circulation, vein health, digestive health, respiratory health, cognitive function, repetitive strain injuries, heart health, cholesterol regulation, heart beat regulation, blood pressure regulation, skin conditions, injury recovery and much much more.
So, if anything is out of kilter with your health or wellness, topical magnesium chloride may be your first port of call. Then, whatever’s left, if anything, can be dealt with more accurately.
Topical magnesium chloride spray (the same magnesium found in the sea) delivers more than 50% of its magnesium value, in a stomach friendly form, and is perfectly safe and effective for all from newborn to elderly. Chloride is necessary for our digestive systems to function optimally. The combination of 1 magnesium molecule to 2 chloride molecules is only 1/5th of the maximum size that will penetrate human skin. It is easily absorbed into the blood stream via the cells, the lipids around the cells, and via the hair follicles; bi-passing the digestive system altogether, so you don't get those negative stomach reactions that are so common with oral magnesium supplements, which can deliver as little as 5-20% of their magnesium value.
When we come out of the sea after a swim, most people feel invigorated. So do horses and so do dogs. That's how quickly magnesium works through the skin. You can feel it's beneficial effects before you even leave the beach.
Magnesium is a mineral salt. It may sting on open wounds but is easily rinsed off and is harmless. It may tingle briefly after application if your magnesium levels are low, but tingling usually subsides quickly once the body reaches optimum magnesium levels. Use a good moisturiser afterwards, or wait 30 minutes before washing off salt residue, to ensure sufficient has been taken into the bloodstream via the skin.
