When applied to the skin, topical magnesium chloride serves as a magnesium supplement that may offer various potential health advantages. Below are the main benefits of using topical magnesium chloride:
Improves Magnesium Absorption: Magnesium chloride can be absorbed through the skin, bypassing the digestive system. This is beneficial for people who may have digestive issues or prefer not to take oral magnesium supplements.
Muscle Relaxation: Magnesium plays a critical role in muscle function. When applied topically, magnesium chloride may help to relax muscles, reduce cramps, and alleviate tension. This can be especially helpful for people with muscle soreness, spasms, or conditions like fibromyalgia.
Reduces Stress and Anxiety: Magnesium has a calming effect on the nervous system. Topical magnesium chloride may help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and tension by promoting relaxation and supporting healthy levels of magnesium in the body, which is often linked to improved mood.
Promotes Better Sleep: Magnesium is known to play a role in regulating sleep by helping to balance neurotransmitters and the hormone melatonin. Topically applied magnesium chloride may aid in falling asleep faster and improving the quality of sleep.
Supports Skin Health: Magnesium chloride may have anti-inflammatory properties that can help with skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne. It may also support skin hydration and improve the overall appearance of the skin by promoting cellular regeneration.
Pain Relief: Magnesium has natural pain-relieving properties, which can help with conditions such as joint pain, arthritis, or general aches and pains. Topical application of magnesium chloride can target specific areas of discomfort for localized relief.
Improves Circulation: Magnesium is known to support cardiovascular health, and when applied topically, it may help improve circulation and reduce the symptoms of poor blood flow, such as swelling or cold extremities.
Detoxification: Magnesium chloride is thought to help with detoxification processes, including assisting in the removal of toxins from the body. Its transdermal absorption may stimulate the lymphatic system, helping the body rid itself of waste products.
How to Use Topical Magnesium Chloride
Topical magnesium chloride is often available as oils, sprays, gels, or bath flakes. At Holistic Bodywork and Wellness, we are excited to announce out new gel version! To use, apply the product directly to the skin, massage gently, and allow it to absorb. Some people may experience a tingling sensation upon application, especially if their skin is sensitive or if the magnesium levels are low.
