Magnesium Oil

Magnesium oil is a concentrated solution of magnesium chloride and water that feels slick to the touch but isn't actually an oil. It is applied topically to the skin to bypass the gastrointestinal side effects of oral supplements, potentially aiding in muscle cramp relief, stress reduction, and improved sleep quality. 

How to Use It

• • Application: Spray or massage the liquid directly onto clean skin. Many users prefer applying it to the soles of the feet, arms, or legs. 

• Dosage: There is no standardized FDA dose, but typical instructions suggest 4 to 5 sprays per limb, rubbed in thoroughly. 
• Residue & Timing: It may leave a powdery or salty white residue once dry, which you can wipe off with a damp washcloth or rinse away in the shower after 20–30 minutes. 

• Local Relief: Small studies suggest transdermal application may help soothe localized muscle soreness, ease joint pain, and relieve peripheral neuropathy. 
• Systemic Levels: Current scientific research suggests that while some magnesium penetrates the skin, topical application is not a reliable method for correcting a clinical magnesium deficiency or significantly raising overall body levels. Dietary sources and oral supplements remain more effective for that purpose. 

• Skin Irritation: It is normal to feel a minor, temporary tingling or stinging upon initial application, particularly if your skin is sensitive.
• Sensitive Areas: Do not apply it to freshly shaven skin, open wounds, or broken skin.
• Side Effects: Always perform a patch test first. If the stinging or burning persists, you can dilute the oil with water.
