Alot of these benefits have been directly reported to me by customers who have used my Magnesium Cream. I cannot claim this will most definitely happen or help you, but Magnesium is responsible for more than 80% of our body's functions. It's needed in your blood, bones, brain, muscles, organs, and when you're lacking, or deficient for a long time it can lead to migraines or even more serious matters like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension and more.
Yes, you can take a magnesium supplement, of course. Oral supplements will pass through your digestive system, half of it may or may not be eaten up by your stomach acid and if you take too much, it will act like a laxative, which can deplete your body of even more minerals and nutrients. Topical magnesium won't do that. You can't apply too much or apply too often, your body will use what it needs and discard the rest. But if you're deficient, it will be put to good use!
With topical magnesium, it completely bypasses your digestive system, soaks into your skin within a minute and has been known to raise magnesium levels in the body over time. Our skin is the largest organ in our body and is this amazingly protective barrier but applying topical magnesium to our skin, its transported to cells throughout the body very quickly.
Why are so many people in the US Magnesium deficient? Well, theres a number of reasons. Some are due to depleted soil nutrients, over consumption of processed foods and soda, not enough leafy greens, alcoholism or heavy drinking, stress and even certain medications can decrease levels.
All of this information is readily available to you from reputable sources all over the internet. Magnesium comes highly recommended in the holistic health care world, but I've never heard any of my medical doctors even mention this amazing mineral to me. Have you?
My teenager uses it for her PMS cramps. My boyfriend uses it for his neck/shoulder pain. My 7 year old can even use it when she has a hard time calming down for bedtime. I use it for my headaches. It's a staple in our household.
