Did you know there are over 300 types of cells in your body that rely upon Magnesium to stay healthy? And that most of us walk around with a pretty serious deficiency? I was astonished when I read this. But it’s true.
So, in light of this, I’ve been researching all the things Magnesium is good for and the best ways we can get more of it. What I’m finding is that this amazing mineral is like a miracle-worker for our bodies. When levels of Magnesium are lower than they should be, our bodies will be low on energy, making us feel more tired. Anxiety, tension and even heart palpitations are all signs of a Magnesium deficiency

As you can see, Magnesium is good for what ails us, in all sorts of ways.
I began learning as much as I could about this miracle mineral mainly because I get migraines. But what I soon realized was that there are a whole host of other reasons why I’ve decided to continue taking Magnesium daily. Not only have my migraines decreased, but I sleep better and my energy levels during the day have drastically increased. I just feel a whole lot better!!
Our favorite way to take Magnesium is transdermally…through the skin. It’s also one of the most effective ways for your body to absorb Magnesium.
How We Apply This Lotion
_____________________________________________
Our favorite way to apply Magnesium Lotion is to rub it in to the soles of our feet just before bed. I like to use about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per foot, rub it in and then wear socks over them so my sheets don’t get oily. (The soles of your feet absorb anything you put on them really well and your feet will be SO smooth!) It takes about 20-30 minutes for this lotion to completely absorb into your skin, so if after that time you’d like to rub the lotion off with a wet cloth, feel free to.
You can use this to rub onto painful areas of your body. Also, you can use as a regular body lotion.
