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.

Introducing the Kiwi

So, the kiwi originated in China, but is now grown in the US, in addition to a few select countries.  Here in America, the kiwi is pretty easy to find, and also reasonable in price.  Believe it or not, this sweet fruit is jammed pack with vitamin C - even more than that of an orange!  Also contains vitamin E, low in fat, and no cholesterol The two main claims floating around about the kiwi: 1. It's a natural energy booster! 2. It can effectively reduce asthma symptoms, and respiratory problems in general. It reduces heart problems and increases lung function. It has been suggested that a child suffering with asthma conditions can eat one to five kiwis weekly to reduce symptoms. I have personally embraced the kiwi because of the taste, plus it's a convenient snack.  But, now my love for the kiwi has been placed on a higher level.  Okay, that's a little extreme!  But seriously,  it's a fruit to consider trying, and if possible,  introduc...

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

Self Care- Make it a Habit

Self care habits in progress. I feel so good when I take time out to treat myself. It pleases me  even more when the practice is inexpensive. Polishing my nails, at-home facial, or sometimes a lengthy shower or bath.  It's extremely important to make time for yourself. I know we hear this often, but self care really promotes mental and physical health. If you're having a rough day, challenging week, or simply feeling  overwhelmed or unenthusiastic about circumstances, I strongly urge you to make time for yourself. I find that I am able to think clearer, and my stress levels are reduced significantly after I practice self care.  Sharing a few self care pics below; at home facial, read book alone in the car, or outside in the sun, make a fun (favorite drink) to enjoy alone, or try an at home mani/pedicure. I also find drawing and painting extremely relaxing. Perhaps you can take a walk or get your heart pumping by exercising. Try slower movements with yoga or pilates....
