Magnesium in a Massage

If you are convinced about the wonders of magnesium, here is one more way to give your body the goodness of this amazing mineral—get a magnesium rub or magnesium gel massage

Extend the stress-relieving properties of a massage by getting a massage with Magnesium Gel! In fact, if you have been regularly taking in magnesium orally, it is time to get introduced to Transdermal Magnesium Therapy or absorption of magnesium through skin. This alternate method of increasing your magnesium intake bypasses the digestive system and is particularly beneficial if you experience a mild laxative effect when you take magnesium orally. Also when applied to the skin magnesium gel is absorbed fast and quickly reaches the spot that has an obvious need for it.

Unlike oral Magnesium supplements (that contain the highly absorbable Magnesium citrate), transdermal magnesium therapy involves the use of magnesium chloride, which is an impressive infection fighter. Magnesium chloride has been proven to help cure many ailments like Acne, Eczema, Cancer, Boils, Tetanus, Allergic diseases, Heart disease, diabetes, common cold and Asthma.

Unbeatable Benefits of Transdermal Magnesium

Research indicates that most people are lacking in magnesium and that many health issues are related to magnesium deficiency. Reduced levels of DHEA ("youth hormone") are also directly related to magnesium deficiency. Transdermal Magnesium Therapy helps you meet your requirement for magnesium without impacting the digestion. Some of the obvious ways in which transdermal magnesium benefits your body are:

1. Restores Body’s Magnesium level: Magnesium chloride (the constituent of Magnesium Rub or Gel) is hygroscopic in nature and attracts water. When massaged onto the skin, the Rub stays wet for a long time resulting in better absorption of magnesium. Magnesium Rub can deliver all of the magnesium you need to restore DHEA levels and to help you look and feel younger.
2. Provides Pain Relief: When massaged into aching areas like arthritic joints or into fibromyalgia type of pain, Magnesium Rub and Magnesium Gel give almost instant relief from pain. Topical magnesium treatments are also useful in treatment of sport injuries. Use as compresses for aches and pains of sore muscles.
3. Promotes Restful Sleep: Magnesium has a calming effect on the nervous system, and is frequently used to promote good sleep. Magnesium Rub and Magnesium Gel can be added to a hot bath or used as a foot soak to relieve stress and to aid in getting restful sleep. A short soak in bath water enriched with magnesium can be very relaxing prelude to a good sleep as it delivers a huge amount of magnesium to the directly to your cells.
4. Reduced Migraine Headaches: People who have migraine headaches tend to have lower levels of magnesium compared to those with tension headaches or no headaches at all. A few clinical studies suggest that magnesium supplements may shorten the duration of a migraine and reduce the amount of medication needed. Intense topical transdermal application of magnesium can drive up the cellular magnesium levels to where they should be.
5. Lower Heart Pressure / Pulse Rate: Adequate levels of magnesium are essential for the proper working of the heart muscle. Heart attacks patients usually have low magnesium in their heart muscles. Patients with coronary heart disease who have been treated with large amounts of magnesium survived better than those with drug treatment. Magnesium dilates the arteries of the heart and lowers cholesterol and fat levels. Those with high blood pressure benefit from ingesting twice as much magnesium as calcium and a good way to do that is to combine transdermal magnesium therapy (Magnesium Gel or Magnesium Rub) with oral supplementation.
6. Effective Antiseptic: Transdermal Magnesium helps the body enhance its immune function. In 1915 Prof. Pierre Delbet, MD., a French surgeon, investigated the antiseptic effects of magnesium and discovered that unlike traditionally used antiseptics, magnesium chloride was harmless to cell tissue. It also greatly increased leukocyte activity and aided in destruction of microbes. He also recorded that with magnesium chloride intake white blood cells destroyed up to three times more microbes than before.
7. Reduces stress and Anxiety: Stress increases the body's need for magnesium and people under stressful conditions can have low magnesium levels. Magnesium blocks the action of the stress hormone adrenalin. It also calms people with anxiety. In fact, the role of magnesium in relieving stress and anxiety is so deeply established that some of the best spas of the world offer a magnesium massage. With Essence of Life Magnesium Rub or Magnesium Gel you can enjoy the benefits of the high-priced stress-busting massage right in your house!

Essence of Life Magnesium Rub and Magnesium Gel

Both our products, Essence of Life Magnesium Gel and Essence of Life Magnesium Rub, deliver high levels of magnesium directly through the skin to the cells. Our products are derived from ocean water (we harvest water 70 km from the shore of the Pacific Ocean) and contain natural ocean water in its most condensed form. Water content and sodium chloride salt are removed. Magnesium, the next most abundant component after Sodium, binds with chloride to form the highly useful Magnesium Chloride. Essence of Life products contains magnesium and other trace elements (copper, sodium, iron, manganese, calcium, nickel, potassium, selenium, zinc, etc) in a proportion best suited to our cell physiology.

Essence of Life Magnesium Rub uses a gelling agent that is an all natural polysaccharide and is highly tolerant of the high mineral content of the Magnesium Rub. It can retain its’ qualities in hot or cold conditions, and it has almost unlimited shelf-life stability. The brilliant gelling product is a product of France and is used by major, multi-national cosmetic companies. It has a rich, luxurious feel, slides like silk and is great for holding the magnesium on your skin.

Many Ways to Use Essence of Life Magnesium Gel and Rub

The best ways to use the Magnesium Rub and Magnesium Gel is to massage it into aching joints and muscles or into skin needing rejuvenation. Start out with 1 ml or a drop about the size of a pound coin. Increase slowly until you find that you are getting benefits from the product. If undue redness or stinging is experienced, dilute with water or apply to wet skin. Other ways to use Magnesium Gel and Rub are:

1. Foot Soak: Use 30-60ml in a tub or foot bath and soak for at least 20 minutes to re lieve aches, pains and stress while you increase your magnesium levels.
2. Revive Sun damaged Skin: Regular spraying on sun damaged skin will rejuvenate the cells the inside out.
3. Mouth rinse: Use as a mouthwash for strengthening teeth and gums. Magnesium Rub sprayed into the mouth several times daily helps form hard tooth enamel resistant to decay.
4. Cosmetic: Regular massage of Magnesium Rub and Magnesium Gel on face smoothes out the wrinkles and causes age spots to fade and virtually disappear. Can also be used to moisturize and refresh the skin, as a natural under arm deodorant, toner, or spa bath mineral.

How do Essence of Life Magnesium Gel and Rub compare with similar products?

1. You pay for the product, not the hype. There are 2 main sources of products known as magnesium oil; concentrated sea water from the ocean and brine drawn from the Ancient Zechstein Seabed, a geological formation in Northern Europe from the Late Permian Era. Isolated for the past 250 million years, Genuine Zechstein magnesium is claimed to be one of the purest sources of natural magnesium salts in the world. Essence of Life Magnesium products in contrast are sourced 70 km from the shore of the Gulf of Mexico. We also claim our product to be one of the purest with our highly technical filter system. While some people believe that purity makes the Zechstein product better we don’t see it. A comparison is buying bottled water from some glacier in Nepal. While it might sound more pure, there is no guarantee. We all need a good source of very clean mineralized water and the more expensive Nepalese glacial water is not necessarily going to have a benefit over very clean mineralized local water but will definitely cost more. We believe that because man is living now, off of our soil and water sources, one advantage of sea water is that all the minerals eroded from our soils end up back in the ocean and we have a chance to regain them by products like magnesium rub and gel which are concentrated forms of the minerals we actually need. Not what the environment needed 250 million years ago.
2. Better user Experience: Some transdermal magnesium products in the market seem slightly oily and are rightly called magnesium oil. Because ours is water based and not oily, we call it Magnesium Rub. Magnesium oil products can also leave a film on your skin that you need to wash off after it soaks in. Essence of Life Magnesium Rub and Magnesium Gel do not leave an oily or chalky film on your skin. This is because we remove the sodium chloride which is where the majority of the chalky film comes from.
3. Better Price: Essence of Life Magnesium Rub and Essence of Life Magnesium Gel offer a better price advantage. With our process and source of sea water, our product is more reasonable priced for the concentration levels obtained.
