Magnesium Transdermal

Cell Mag From the Dead Sea

I love the ocean. Many wonderful things are found in the waters of the world, including many minerals that we are dependent on for good health. Magnesium, for example, is one of the salts contained in our deep blue seas. There is Pacific Ocean Magnesium and Dead Sea Magnesium. Cell Mag magnesium comes from the dead sea.

Most of us don’t live near the beach though, and cannot take the time out of our busy schedule for that natural foot bath, but we can pull out a bottle of Transderma magnesium oil after the shower and reap the benefits of the elements contained in the ocean.

Nutrition is a hot topic, but one that is full of confusion. When we think about what we eat we have to consider that its a two way street. Food nourishes, but it also takes vitamins and minerals to process those foods. That fast food diet, or that home cooked fried chicken may take more than it gives us. Visit any federally funded health site, and you will likely find data that shows that we are deficient in magnesium.

Let us delve into the world of magnesium in the body. Your body definitely needs magnesium to function. There is a storehouse of magnesium contained in your bones, right alongside that calcium that we hear so much about. About 50 percent of our supply of magnesium is stored in our bones. Blood is a different matter, with only about 1 percent of our magnesium maintained in the blood.

How do we keep up, and maintain healthy nutritional levels? Not too long ago I learned about transdermal magnesium. I tried it for the ache in shoulder, and the ache diminished. I gave some to my sister, and the pain in her knee was gone within the same day.

Magnesium deficiency has been associated with depression, mental fatigue, chronic tiredness, and even pain relief or release. Some say that they feel calmer and sleep better after a magnesium bath or by using the magnesium oil after their bath.

There are over 300 biochemical actions in our body that need magnesium. That sounds pretty darn important to me. According to this same medical authority there is concern about continued sub-levels of magnesium in a large part of our population. Perhaps we should go back to basics, such as basic nutrition through the elements of life.

Muscle Cramp!

Oh No! A word that strikes fear into everyone that has experienced that tightening of the muscle followed terrible PAIN!

What are Muscle Cramps?

Technical literature describes a cramp — as an involuntary contraction of a muscle that doesn’t then relax – well with that much pain — I would not choose it and it wouldn’t be voluntary is what I can say!

When I exercise hard– after being not very active for days, I usually get a muscle cramp.

If you reviewed the scientific literature on cramps– you would find that  “they have still not found a way to cure it,” and the cause is still described as “unknown”.

A well read doctor may tell your that — muscle cramps are is made worse by the lowering of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium salt levels in our bodies due primarily to exercise and dehydration — lack of drinking enough good clean water.

So you get a Cramp:

1.   Stop the activity — if you can, and you are not participating in sport activity.

2.   try a little Gentle stretching and massage the cramping muscle with your hands or get a friend to help you do it.

3. Spray on Magnesium Oil

On the Magnesium web sites — they swear by taking transdermal Magnesium every day. It is cheap and also reduces regular muscle and joint pain.

Magnesium can be introduced into the body in many ways.  One of the most powerful is intraveneously, but this approach is only through treatment by health care professionals, and is painful due to the quantity entering the body so concentrated.  Another approach, far more gentle yet effective, is to introduce magnesium transdermally to replenish the body’s supply of this vital nutrient.

According to Dr. Ronald Hoffman, “patients with low magnesium who take just oral supplements do not normalize”.   Transdermal magnesium therapy does speed up the process, bringing up the body’s magnesium level nearly as much as intravenous methods.

How do we provide this magnesium through transdermal use?   One of the most recommended methods is with magnesium oil.  Not truly an oil, more of a salt, magnesium oil is inexpensive and safe to use.  Another method is a magnesium salt bath.  Are we talking about an excessive amount of salt?  No, it’s not table salt, that’s sodium.  We’re talking about magnesium salts.  Transdermal magnesium is found to be moisturizing and hydrating as well, and penetrates the skin quickly and easily.

According to Dr. Carolyn Dean, the author of “The Miracle of Magnesium”, magnesium chloride is a powerful, versatile medicine that boosts almost all aspects of cell physiology, and “is what you want around if you are having a heart attack or stroke”.

Magnesium is a basic mineral supplement that can be used orally, intravenously, or transdermally.  “It’s a systemic medicine as well as a local one bringing new life and energy to the cells wherever it is applied”.

In his book, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy, published in 2007, Dr. Mark Sircus discusses the relative value of magnesium chloride versus magnesium sulfate. He devotes an entire chapter to this topic.

He states clearly that magnesium chloride is the transdermal magnesium of choice for individuals interested in optimal health. He explains in detail why magnesium chloride is best recognized, assimilated, and utilized in the body.

I highly recommend his book, you will certainly gain greater knowledge of your health, fitness, and the effects of mg for optimal health, but you don’t need to read it in order to gain the benefits of magnesium chloride. Visit: http://www.subtleenergytherapy.org/
