Magnesium is an essential trace element for the health of the entire body. Only the lazy did not hear about its benefits. How does it actually work?
The daily requirement for magnesium in an adult is 350-800 mg.
We get magnesium from food, as part of mineral water, dietary supplements. And we spend it on many processes in almost all body systems. More than half of all magnesium is found in bone and is important for optimal calcium absorption.
The rest of the volume is distributed in muscles, other soft tissues, blood and other body fluids.
Magnesium supports the work of the cardiovascular system, participates in the process of converting nutrients into energy, and takes part in the metabolic reactions of vitamin C and B-groups.
Supplements solve the problem of replenishing magnesium deficiency. However, the absorption of magnesium through the gastrointestinal tract is not optimal. The good news is that another way of getting magnesium into the body is directly through the skin (transdermal).
A simple and effective method is a magnesium bath. One bath will help you relax and relieve tension, ensure sound sleep, and soothe strained muscles after exercise.
The course of procedures will help to replenish magnesium deficiency, will have a general strengthening effect, stimulate lymph flow, and replenish the resource for restoring the nervous system.
How to take a magnesium bath.
Fill up with non-hot water (up to 40 degrees Celsius).
Add magnesium salt - Magnesium Flakes, Epsom Salt, Mineral crystals Antistress.
For the first procedures, start with a small dose - 150-200 g of salt for a shared bath for an adult (50 g for a shared bath for children).
In the future, the amount of salt can be gradually increased. Before the procedure, drink a glass of water or warm herbal tea to take care of the water balance.
Immerse yourself in the bath to the line of the heart.
The duration of the procedure is 15-20 minutes for the first time, then up to 30 minutes.
After bath, apply Magnesium Lotion.
