We all know how magnesium contributes to flexibility and helps to prevent injury by loosening tight muscles. Without enough magnesium, muscles can't properly relax, possibly causing cramps. Low magnesium can create a buildup of lactic acid, known to cause post-workout pain and tightness. However, magnesium is so much more essential than you might think and here's a few areas things it can benefit. 

Sleep

Magnesium can relax the receptors in the nervous system and the brain, which can help you feel calm and relax the mind and body and this can induce sleep. Those who battle with serious insomnia and haven't tried magnesium, really should. Before bed, give yourself a rub down with either Magnesium Oil or Magnesium Gel Complex. If you don't like the feel of it, you can wipe it off after 30 minutes once it has been absorbed. 

Migraines

Magnesium works a treat for migraines. Studies suggest that those who suffer from migraines or severe headaches often have magnesium deficiencies. When you feel a headache/migraine coming on, try spraying Magnesium Oil or Magnesium Gel Complex on the shoulders, neck and upper back and massage it into the skin. Our Magnesium Gel Roller is ideal for this.

Blood Pressure

Unfortunately, high blood pressure isn't uncommon with 1 in 5 Australians suffering form this. Magnesium won't help a great deal and can't do it alone, but it can aid in lowering blood pressure a touch. It's more of a holistic approach to lowering blood pressure in a healthy way. After bathing, massage Magnesium Gel Complex in to promote blood flow and let it sit for 30 minutes to absorb. 

Skin Complexion

Magnesium helps improve skin's complexion as it breaks apart fats and oils when applied topically, which helps reduce skin oiliness. This results in the reduction the severity of breakouts and it can give relief to eczema and rosacea sufferers. What is even more beneficial is that Magnesium Gel Complex consists of organic aloe vera juice and pharmaceutical-grade hyaluronic acid to help calm irritated skin. 

Stress

When experiencing stress, magnesium that is already present in your body is said to deplete during these times. To help decrease levels of stress and anxiety, Magnesium Oil or Magnesium Gel Complex can be applied onto the arms, legs or abdomen and then gently rubbed into the skin to be fully absorbed. A bath or a foot soak with Magnesium Bath Flakes can also offer relaxation. 

Menopause

There are many symptoms of menopause; sleeping difficulties, mood swings, joint aches and pains, fatigue, food cravings, muscle cramps at night. Magnesium not only helps battle muscle and joints aches and pains but also fatigue. Apply to affected areas and rub in when needed. 

PMS

It might surprise you to know that magnesium can relieve unpleasant Premenstrual Syndrome symptoms. It has been proven to decrease pain and bloating that are often caused by PMS. Unlike most items on the market to relieve the discomfort of PMS, magnesium is natural and good for the body. To relieve PMS symptoms, rub Magnesium Oil or Magnesium Gel Complex on arms if feeling dizzy, irritable, bloated or experiencing muscle cramps.

Diabetes

Magnesium deficiency is often seen in people with diabetes. This deficiency can occur with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but appears to be more prevalent with type 2. Magnesium can increase your magnesium blood level and improve diabetes control. If you have pre-diabetes, supplementation may also improve blood sugar and possibly prevent type 2 diabetes. Many people who have diabetes may need more than twice the recommended daily allowance of magnesium, which is 350 to 400 milligrams a day. These individuals may consider oral magnesium (1/4 teaspoon Magnesium Chloride Flakes in water), applying Magnesium Oil/Magnesium Gel Complex to skin after a shower, and bathing in Magnesium Flakes. 

Oral Health

Magnesium aids with oral health, as it helps the body absorb calcium, which obviously is important to the health of teeth. If you aren't too focused on a healthy diet this is for you! Many people who have poor diets also have poor oral health, so magnesium is very important to help these people achieve good oral health. To maintain teeth health, spray a few pumps of Magnesium Oil directly into the mouth and swish it around for several minutes before spitting. 

Natural Deodorant

Magnesium can also be used as a natural deodorant, as science says it reduces body odour. In-store deodorants are often expensive and have harmful chemicals, so why not use a natural deodorant instead? Another reason why MISMO Magnesium Gel Roller is so versatile and popular!
