The Miracle of Transdermal Magnesium
Magnesium supplementation may be the new panacea of our age. The deficiency is so widespread that at least three out of four adults in industrialized nations have cause to actively increase their intake — especially to avoid symptoms which can otherwise linger and compound over years to produce serious chronic illness.
Transdermal magnesium therapy is a powerful new tool that combines the healing power of the body’s largest organ — the skin — with the life sustaining properties of one of our most vital minerals. It stands poised to usher in a new era of health.
- Transdermal therapy creates “tissue saturation”, which allows magnesium to travel to the body’s tissues and cells at a high dose without losses through the gastrointestinal tract.
- When taken orally, however, magnesium may be absorbed inefficiently, either due to the laxative effect of oral doses; due to the effect of other foods, vitamins or minerals in the gut that lessen absorption; or due to individual differences, such as leaky gut syndrome, that reduce magnesium processing.
Why soak in magnesium salts vs taking an oral supplement?
- Soaking is an easy and convenient, “do it yourself” method of magnesium supplementation
- Avoids problems of gastrointestinal irritation and diarrhea, through bypassing the digestive system entirely
- Passes directly into the tissues via the skin, where it is quickly transported to cells throughout the body
Directions: Pour 1/4 to 1/2 of the bag into a warm running bath. Soak for at least 20 minutes. Repeat weekly or as often as needed. You can also pour your salts into a mesh bag if you'd rather keep the botanicals from going down the drain. Magnesium tends to dry your skin, so follow up your warm soak with one of our moisturizing Body Oils or Lotions!
