Magnesium Chloride


Magnesium deficiency is common and does have a legion of devastating effects, and correcting it cost pennies a day per person--  S. Johnson, Medical Hypotheses, Elsevier Press

The title alone sounds powerful.  Right?  Well if this is the first time you're hearing about magnesium chloride, I highly suggest that you add it to your "To Buy" list.   

Again, like most items I refer to, magnesium chloride is all natural, surprisingly easy to find, and reasonably priced. 

Magnesium plays a vital role in helping the body function properly.  Many of us lack in mc, simply because we are unable to produce it naturally, therefore causing issues with metabolism and the ability to absorb nutrients.  

According to an article from Ancient Minerals (Magnesium Chloride), the three following issue have been linked to mc deficiency, amongst many others: 

1.  mal-absorption of vitamins and minerals
2.  failure in proper digestion
3.  increased susceptibility to unwanted bacteria, viruses, and yeasts passing through the gut

In order for me to get my proper intake of mc, I decided to combine my mg crystals to a spray bottle to create an oil.  I apply the spray to my full body almost daily.  I obtained the simple how-to instructions/ingredient list from the Wellness Mama, http://wellnessmama.com/5804/how-to-make-your-own-magnesium-oil/.    

View the link below, also taken from the "Wellness Mama" site, explaining the effects of magnesium deficiency, as well as details on how to easily achieve the necessary intake of mc.
