Health Coach Tip – What Is Magnesium Oil?

Health Coach Tips

Are you curious about magnesium oil? Let’s dive into what it is and why people are turning to it for various health concerns.

Unraveling the Mystery: What is Magnesium Oil?

Despite its name, magnesium oil is not a traditional oil in the sense of fatty substances. Actually, magnesium oil is a concentrated solution of magnesium chloride flakes dissolved in water. This combination creates a texture similar to oil when applied to the skin.

‍

The benefits of magnesium oil come from the healing associated with natural saltwater springs. Here are the potential benefits:

Relieve Muscle Tension and Cramps

Magnesium oil has been noted to help relieve muscle tension and cramps. When applied topically, magnesium is thought to be absorbed through the skin and transported to the muscles, promoting relaxation and reducing stiffness. Athletes and individuals who experience muscle cramps often find relief when magnesium oil is used after a workout.

Support Restful Sleep

Restful sleep is often elusive. Magnesium plays a vital role in regulating neurotransmitters that promote relaxation and a sense of calm. Incorporating magnesium oil into your nightly routine may encourage better sleep quality, helping you wake up refreshed and rejuvenated.

Help Ease Stress and Anxiety

We all know that modern life is stressful. This stress undoubtedly takes a toll on our physical and mental well-being. Magnesium supports the nervous system, by reducing levels of stress and anxiety. Thus, the regular use of magnesium oil may help provide a nice calm, promoting better stress resiliency.

Promote Healthy Skin

Did you know that magnesium is a vital mineral for skin health? Magnesium helps maintain the skin’s moisture barrier, which is essential for hydrating and protecting against external pollutants. Applying magnesium oil topically may support skin hydration and help manageme various skin conditions.

Aid in Headache Relief

For those who suffer from chronic headaches or migraines, magnesium oil may be an effective solution. Studies suggest that magnesium may help reduce both frequency and intensity of headaches, by relaxing blood vessels and fighting inflammation. To combat a headache with magnesium oil, you can rub it onto your forehead, temples, jaw, and back of the neck.

How to Use Magnesium Oil

Using magnesium oil is a simple and convenient process:

‍

Apply a few sprays or drops of magnesium oil to the desired area of your body.
Gently massage the oil into your skin until fully absorbed. Some individuals may experience a tingling sensation, which is normal and indicates absorption.
Allow the magnesium oil to remain on your skin for at least 20-30 minutes before rinsing or wiping off.
For maximum benefit, you can also leave it on overnight.

‍

For those who have never used magnesium oil before, it is common to experience slight skin sensitivity initially. If this occurs, consider diluting the oil with a small amount of water until your skin adjusts!

‍

Magnesium oil is trendy in the world of natural remedies. From potentially easing muscle tension to promoting restful sleep and supporting healthy skin, this mineral-rich elixir may offer a range of potential benefits.

Perfect Pairing: Harnessing the Anti-Aging Power of Methylene Blue and Red Light Therapy

I am a big proponent of health-promoting therapies and two of the ones I’m now regularly using in my practice are red light therapy and methylene blue. The extraordinary benefits of combining the red and the blue, two modalities which, in different ways, both stimulate the powerplants inside our cells, the mitochondria, with the result that the body has more healing energy on tap. Each therapy enhances the other, creating a synergistic effect that I like to call, 1 plus 1 equals 3. Or, combine and conquer! Here are my thoughts on how to put them both to work for you.

7 Reasons Why You Need More Protein for Anti-Aging – and 6 Ways to Get Yours

Just about every day patients ask me how they can age well, or at minimum, do it better than their parents and grandparents did -- and the good news is that many of them can! As the biology of aging has evolved over the past few decades, we now know so much more about how to help our bodies age more slowly, in better health, than ever before. Granted, we’ve not quite figured out how to stop aging but there are a number of steps we can take, starting now, to get into a slower aging groove. One of the biggies is protein. While it may not seem like an obvious clock-stopper, as we age, increasing protein intake becomes especially important – and a lot of people overlook this relatively simple, longevity upgrade.
