Description
I am a big believer that you need more magnesium. Most people are very deficient in magnesium which affects 300 processes in the body. I've even written an article on how magnesium saved my life. It's important to me and I have supplemented it for over twenty-three years.
I have found that the body absorbs magnesium better through the skin and it takes in what it needs and you don't have the excess that you do with supplements. These bath salts are an excellent way to supply the body with magnesium and they are Magnesium Chloride from the dead seas in Israel. This is the same Magnesium Chloride that is used as one of the electrolytes in dialysis solutions for kidney patients for which the specifications for production are controlled and secure.
Magnesium can aid in the relief of back pain, muscle pain, and arthritic pain, stiffness, skin conditions and I also found it lowers blood pressure quite effectively. The Magnesium Bath Crystals are a highly concentrated dry form of Magnesium Oil.
Who is deficient in Magnesium?
- Up to 90% of the population of the United States is Magnesium deficient!
- Women pass their deficiencies on to their children – when a woman is deficient in one mineral during pregnancy, it will take 3 generations of supplementation for that one mineral to be restored!
- People who exercise – Physical exertion strips Magnesium from inside the cells
- People who do not exercise! – Those who do not exercise generally deal with stress and frustrations which need to be eliminated.
- The young, the middle-aged, and the elderly – Virtually everyone.
- Those on medication – Prescription and OTC
- Anyone consuming the Standard American Diet – The ground is stripped of nutrients and when added to processed foods, sugars, and chemicals, there is little wonder we are lacking in Magnesium along with most other nutrients. Additionally, cooking foods decreases nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
Why are we deficient?
- Metabolic Stress
- Poor diet – sugar, processed foods, insufficient nutrients
- Nutrient deficient soilSynthetic vitamins & supplements
- Prescription and over-the-counter drugs
- Nutritional imbalances resulting in Depression, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Diabetes, Osteoporosis, Migraines, Cardiomyopathy, Hypertension, Arrhythmia, etc.
- Excess need for nutrients over supply
- Excess supply of junk food over need
- Chemical intake – alcohol, tobacco, additives Aspartame aka Equal®, NutraSweet®, and Canderel®
- MSG aka Hydrolized Vegetable Protein
- Parabens
- Caffeine
- Physical Trauma
- Childbirth
What is the science?
- The human body is made up of 75 to 100 trillion cells.
- Cells are supposed to have a specific shape and gap between them.
- Each one of these cells has the ability to communicate and receive messages from other cells.
- 1% of the Magnesium in the body is in the blood and except for extreme cases of acute alcoholism, starvation, or diabetic acidosis a deficiency will never be discovered through a blood test.
- Magnesium is supposed to be the 7th most abundant mineral in the body.
- Magnesium is responsible for the relaxation phase of the muscles and the heart.
- Magnesium is required in over 300 enzymatic processes in the body.
- One function of Magnesium is to regulate the nerves.

How to Use
Recommendations based on Dr. Shealy’s Clinical Trials
Recommendations for use are based on Dr. Shealy’s clinical trials the BEST way to increase Magnesium at the cellular level is as follows:
- Intravenous – of course very few of us can or will opt for this one on a regular basis!
- Foot soak – done 6 days a week for 3-4 weeks will significantly raise the Magnesium levels in the cells.
- Bathtub soaking – done 6 days a week for 3-4 weeks will significantly raise the Magnesium levels in the cells. (These Magnesium Bath Crystals are the super concentrated form of the Magnesium Oil and are cheaper in the bath!)
- Topical – done 6 days a week perpetually will raise the Magnesium levels in the cells.
- Teeth & Gums – to remove tartar and plaque while tightening the gums add 5-6 drops of Magnesium Oil to a wet toothbrush; brush; spit no rinsing or toothpaste required.
- Oral – according to Dr Shealy, this method takes 1-3 YEARS to raise the Magnesium levels in the cells.
The reality: The BEST method for YOU is what you WILL do!
There are potential dangers in taking oral magnesium (in any form) as it has laxative properties and STOPS THE MUSCLES IN THE COLON FROM WORKING which can result in long term dependence on laxatives! If you are taking oral Magnesium and begin using topical Magnesium, your bowels will likely become loose as the topical is so effective the oral is now too much.
If you have sensitive skin, are toxic, or very frail begin with small amounts and shorter soak times. Build up slowly.
Use EITHER the foot soak OR the tub soak – do NOT do both in the same day as that is excessive!
After the initial 3 to 4 week period of daily soaks, you will know if you need to increase the soaking frequency based on how you feel or if your symptoms start to return. Of course you may continue the daily foot or tub soak if you like on a daily basis!
NOTE: Our Magnesium Chloride products, when used according to the directions, will not impact the bowel. However, if you are taking an oral magnesium in any form to bowel tolerance (all are laxatives), you may experience loose stools once you begin using our topical magnesium. This may occur as the topical is absorbed very quickly making the oral amount excessive. Reducing or eliminating the oral dose is recommended. Should your body absorb more of our topical magnesium than is required at the time, it will be flushed through the kidneys. Those individuals on dialysis should never use any magnesium products.
AS A FOOT SOAK
Using a plastic or glass container, (plastic dishpans available at most retailers that sell house wares work great) that is large enough to comfortably soak both feet, add 4 ounces of Magnesium Oil and enough water cover the tops of your toes, soak 15-20 minutes and discard liquid after soaking by flushing it down the toilet. Be sure the temperature of the water is comfortable – no microwaves please! Soak 6 days a week for 3-4 weeks to significantly raise the magnesium level in the cells then 1-2 times a week as maintenance.
IN THE BATHTUB
We recommend using these Magnesium Bath Crystals in the bath, as they are super concentrated! For general maintenance add 2-3 scoops of Magnesium Bath Crystals (or 4-12 ounces of Magnesium Oil) to a hot bath and soak 20-30 minutes. If your tub is too small to be totally submerged, soak in shifts – ROLL OVER! Once the tub is full, add 1 teaspoon of Magnesium Snow and 2-3 scoops of Magnesium Bath Crystals (or Magnesium Oil). Lay back and enjoy!
(For optimum results, and the least expensive route, we recommend these Bath Crystals.)
