Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hi Maria: There are several good sources for magnesium oils that can be used transdermally, but I use a product called Magnesium Gel from Global Lights Network http://www.globallight.net/ <http://www.globallight.net/>because I like the feel of it. It is a mild astringent much like an after shave. Applying it is simple: After you shower, you simple put a dab on your hand, rub your hands together and rub it into your skin. It is absorbed best in areas where the skin is thin, like under your arms and on the instep of your feet, but you will absorb it well everywhere compared to taking it orally. If you have a sore neck of back rub more there (don't know why, but it seems to help). The key is not to over apply, since it feels oily at first. This makes sense even though it is not oily. Just like swimming in the ocean makes you feel oily, the gel can too if it is over-applied. Another good way to get magnesium transdermally is to take a bath or even a foot bath in epsom salts. Both can be very relaxing in addition to the uptake of magnesium. The good news is that a bottle of the magnesium gel lasts for as much as four months... a very cheap treatment. The great thing about Transdermal magnesium is that it allows the body to self-balance according to the book, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy <http://www.amazon.com/Transdermal-Magnesium-Therapy-Mark-Sircus/dp/0978799119/r\ ef=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 & s=books & qid=1229032956 & sr=1-1> by Dr. Mark Sircus and Adam, E Abraham. Most everyone can benefit from more magnesium. If you want to see just how important magnesium can be, read the website by Dr. Shealy http://www.magnesiumforlife.com/transdermalmagnesium.shtml. For a very comprehensive book on magnesium, generally, read " The Magnesium Factor " by Seelig/ Rosanoff. Kind Regards, JIm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
