Transdermal Magnesium Chloride
Transdermal Magnesium Chloride
Magnesium oil stimulates body's production
of DHEA
DHEA is a sex steroid hormone
shown to promote collagen production
Apply MCO to skin and rub in
What strength
magnesium chloride oil (MCO) to use?
- 35% strength MCO provides
600 mg elemental magnesium in 1 teaspoon. A small amount to spread
over the skin, this concentration is well tolerated by most people without irritation
problems on limbs and torso (provided skin is unbroken)
How to Make Magnesium
Oil
- 35% strength may be
too strong for the face and neck and definitely too strong for burns or wounds.
For these applications the oil must be appropriately diluted.
A 4% solution is recommended for burns and wounds (i.e. dilute1 part 35% oil : 8
parts water).
- Dilute the oil further
if you experience too much "stinging". Use clean,
filtered water or spring water. Do not use chlorinated water.
MCO feels slightly
slippery like an oil at first (although it's not really an oil).
However, after 1-2 minutes, as absorption occurs, it no longer feels oily.
For relief or
treatment of a specific area, E.g. sore muscles, achy joints, muscle spasms, face,
neck, scalp, cuts/wounds, burns. Rub thoroughly into that
area. The more you rub, the more your skin will absorb; Let dry before covering
with clothes.
To increase body's magnesium
levels:
-
Apply with hand or spray several body areas.
Both arms and legs, and maybe also the abdomen for a large absorption surface
area. Again, let it dry before putting clothes over it.
-
Or slather whole body. You can even
strip down and use a spray bottle or pour oil into your hand to slather and then
rub the oil onto your body from the neck down. Next lie down and relax for 30 mins.
on an old sheet or towel (or find something to do that is not at odds with being
naked), to allow time for oil to soak in. Finish by rinsing off oil in the shower.
Don't use soap. Towel dry.
How much MCO to use?
One tsp of MCO (35% solution) contains ~600 mg
magnesium , so 1 teaspoon once
a day should be ample for most people. Although three to five times daily
is recommended for a few weeks for those battling serious illness, to replenish
magnesium levels as quickly as possible.
Putting ½ tsp. at a time
in the palm of your hand is usually more manageable than trying to apply the
whole teaspoon all at once
Dr. Norman Shealy, MD, Ph.D and neurosurgeon, has found that skin application
of Mg chloride oil, with a concentration of at least 25%
magnesium chloride, restores
intracellular levels within 4-6 weeks.
Avoid sensitive
body parts. E.g. the nipples,
genital area, eyes, freshly shaved underarms, freshly shaved face.
It won't
damage them, but believe me it will sting!
You can leave it on for a few days or at least until
your next shower. However, it is best to shower at least every few days
because the magnesium residue builds up lessening the skin's absorption of new applications
of oil.
If the residue that is left itches too much.
You can wash it off after 30-40 mins.
If you use lotion or other skin oils, apply them
after the magnesium
oil. Since by saturating the skin they would hinder the uptake of the magnesium oil,
which would be left sitting on top of your skin.
Use damp heat for deeper penetration of oil. E.g. use
a Mg Chloride oil pack with a hot water bottle. Moist heat penetrates deep into
tissue.
Physical massage much improves absorption into
muscles and joints. Spastic muscles have
poor blood and lymph circulation, which makes it difficult for the
magnesium to
dissolve and flush out tissue and joint calcifications. Absorption improves by increasing
the circulation through permanently contracted muscles with deep tissue massage,
hot and cold water applications, warm packs, and heat-producing rubs with
magnesium
chloride oil. Moving your lymph via exercise helps flush out the offending calcium
accumulations.
