Magnesium has so many therapeutic benefits yet most of us do not get the daily recommended amount.

 
The great benefit оf Magnesium through bath or foot soak іs thаt yоu absorb magnesium via thе skin much mоrе efficiently thаn if yоu were tо ingest tablets and powders, which аrе hard tо digest and absorb properly through thе gut wall. According to researchers the average person is lucky if they evеn get 20% оf thе magnesium frоm tablets making іt tо tissue cells inside thе body. The majority іs excreted tоо fast. If yоu try tо compensate by taking extra oral doses it causes the stool to liquefy, іn which case thе magnesium іs lost tоо quickly.

 
Another great benefit from soaking is that it gives the body the opportunity to release waste products via skin into the water. Use comfortably hot water for best results. Perspiring helps the excretion process. When the body can release toxins via the skin it eases the burden of processing of the toxins back through the digestive system via kidney and liver. Remember to drink a lot of purified and mineralised water to allow best blood circulation, blood pressure and detoxing. If you feel faint or hyper-stimulated in a hot bath it is a sign that your cells are dehydrated. Reduce the heat of the bath and drink more water. In this case it is wise to avoid sodium salt until symptoms disappear and blood pressure returns to normal, as sodium tends to dehydrate.

 
Elektra Magnesium Chloride Flakes ‘food grade’ can also be used to make mineral drinking water from filtered, distilled or rain water. It can also be used to make a mouth wash with a stronger concentration (1 teaspoon per 250-300mL). Very alkalising and good for teeth and gum health. Magnesium is anti-inflammatory.

• Proper formation of bones and teeth
• Relaxation of blood vessels
• Action of heart muscles
• Promotion of proper bowel function
• Regulation of blood sugar levels
• The creation of adenosine triphosphate, the energy molecules of your body

Magnesium’s Importance to Health and Why Transdermal Absorption is Better

Magnesium is starting to become a big revolution in natural health as industrialised societies suffer more and more under stress and are looking for ways to compensate without relying on drugs or surgery. Transdermal absorption of magnesium salts is the best way to absorb magnesium, as no digestion of tablets is required. Only a very small amount of oral magnesium tablets and powders gets digested and passes through the gut wall to the inner tissue areas of the body where it is mostly used. The majority of these oral magnesium supplements are expelled by the digestive system and can cause diarrhoea. Transdermal absorption is much more efficient and works more quickly with calming effects being felt within minutes of massaging into skin or soaking in a hot magnesium solution footsoak or bath. It is using the same dermal pathways as sweating which releases electrolytes from the skin. The skin is also capable of absorbing electrolytes back in as long as they are in the right form. You can also do it by swimming in the ocean or bathing in mineral rich hot springs. But massaging with Elektra Magnesium products delivers the magnesium and other elements and nutrients more conveniently to the skin. From the skin (epidermis) the body takes up what it needs via the tiny capillaries of the dermis under the skin and is self-regulating. It does not take up any more than it needs at one time (like tree roots taking up minerals from the soil). Unlike drugs or herbs, you cannot overdose. It’s just nutrition provided to the largest organ of the body – the skin.

Elektra Magnesium Flakes, Cream Moisturizer, Oil Spritz Formula – What’s the Difference?

Elektra Magnesium Oil Spritz formula has a high concentration of Magnesium Chloride Salt Flakes (61%) for use in massage of tight muscles and joints for relaxation which glides on and absorbs much better than straight magnesium oil without leaving that sticky irritating residue, but it doesn’t have the high level of fats of the Magnesium Cream for moisturisation and protection. If your skin is dry or thin (having lost skin texture and collagen), you may need some help from Elektra Magnesium Cream to lubricate the skin, which makes it more receptive to the magnesium salts. If you are blessed with an oily Mediterranean skin type you could easily use Elektra Magnesium Oil Spritz Formula straight on the skin because the magnesium salts will work with your natural skin oils to absorb. Our Magnesium Oil Spritz formula is easy to apply and adds a high concentration of magnesium to the spots where you need it most (a bit like WD40 for the body)… ie. loosening up the ‘stuck bits’.

If your skin gets dry and needs some recovery help then Elektra Magnesium Cream is ideal, having a complex blend of natural oils and butters infused with 15% Elektra Magnesium Chloride Salt Flakes. It can be used all over as a body and face moisturizer, as well as an underarm deodorant. It is also preferred by many massage therapists for use in ‘Magnesium Massage’, and recommended for couples to give each other magnesium massages to escape the stresses of the day! All three fragrances have the same magnesium content.

Magnesium Baths and Footsoaks using the flakes provides another dimension of health care-self care: Whilst being able to absorb magnesium from the water, the body is also able to excrete wastes and toxins via the skin. Whatever can be shed transdermally (also via saunas and sweating) lifts the load on the kidney and liver in relation to their detox-cleansing roles.

All three categories of magnesium products can be used together. Just try. If not enough, keep adding more until you feel the results. It’s that simple!
