Did you know that magnesium is the 4th most abundant mineral found in the human body? It is the most critical mineral required for electrical stability of every cell in the body.
Magnesium deficiency can be linked to headaches, PMS, Depression & Anxiety, Joint Pain, and other chronic issues.
One way to add magnesium to your daily routine is to add it to your diet. Foods high in magnesium include: Almonds 19% dv, Avocado 15% dv, Black Beans 15% dv, Spinach 38% dv, Dark Chocolate 24% dv, and pumpkin seeds at 23% dv.
Another way to add magnesium to your daily routine is topically. A popular method is done by adding an oil or a spray made from magnesium chloride to the bottoms of your feet or on your legs before bedtime or even to sore, tired muscles to relieve muscle tension. It's important to know that magnesium salts of the oil solution are always looking to join up with lipids (fats, oils, waxes) before they can enter the epidermal layer. Oily skin? You're good! But if you have dry skin, you'll want to make sure you are preparing your skin for proper absorption of magnesium chloride by lubricating and conditioning your skin with plant oils and butters.
A popular magnesium remedy has often been to soak in Epsom Salts , but it is important to note that Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) is not the same as magnesium chloride. You will see some benefits from the Epsom Salt soak, but the effects do not compare to the effects you will find from using magnesium chloride. Epsom Salts are also drying and can be irritating. Magnesium chloride hexahydrate attracts water to cells, therefore making it a better choice for hydration.
When using magnesium to correct a suspected deficiency, you will want to ensure you are establishing a daily routine. The body is a self-regulating machine, so it will only take up the magnesium it can deal with at any one time. Regular, daily application is necessary for maintaining the body's supply.
