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.

Kelp Powder - Mineral Hair Treatment

View my sea kelp natural hair treatment I tried over the weekend.  It is a simple process that offers great results- shine and additional minerals that are great for the hair.  My concoction included kelp powder, aloe vera juice, and oils.  I decided to use coconut and red palm oil in my mixture, but feel free to use whatever oils work well with your hair- almond, apricot, etc.  Leave the mixture on for 2 to 4 hours.  It's easy to wash out, and the smell is minimal.  The first pic of my hair shows my texture prior to the treatment.  View the sheen and length after treatment.  This is a completely natural home remedy.  Care to learn more about kelp and how it supports hair growth, and the overall body-depending on how you use it.   Check out the link from Herb Wisdom for additional info.   http://www.herbwisdom.com/herb-kelp.html

Me, Myself, and I

Life can be so fast paced, non-stop at times. There are days when I say, 'I'd like to get off this ride and take a break!'  And I will slow down if at all possible, meaning saying no to someone, I can't help, I can't go.  Sometimes it's just necessary for me to check in with myself and realize when too much is too much.  Just two weeks ago, I was laid out on a beach, on an island, alone. No children, no husband, not even a girlfriend.  Just me, my music, and a good book.  It's rare that I get time alone, but I believe it's highly necessary.  I've gotten a few raised eyebrows because I have taken several trips without my children, a few outside of the country.  I don't feel guilty one bit.  I'm certainly not a perfect mother, but I know that quality time is important in my household, along with family fun, activities, and traveling.  Although challenging, stealing alone time really needs to be made a priority.  This time can attribute t...

Savvy Wash

Dishes and laundry are two household tasks that we all know well.  These are chores we picked up on way back in our teen years, if not younger.  You have probably got them down to a science, but how about I give you a few interesting facts and tips that can save time, energy, money, and protect  the environment.  Read on! We have an understanding that using the dishwasher is greener than washing by hand. This is true in most cases, and even more so if you have an energy-efficient dishwasher.  Here are a few suggestions to keep in mind to be even greener and cut costs on your water and electricity bills. Reduce your water consumption: Avoid pre-rinsing and only run full loads.  If you are neat freak and just hate to go to bed with a disorderly kitchen, throw the dishes in the dishwasher and run it once full. Try using the cold-water setting if this is an option on your dishwasher. Also let the dishes air dry, versus using the heat dry option.  The h...
