Magnesium Chloride and Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salts) combined.
What are the benefits?
Salts are generically termed ionic compounds meaning they separate in water.
- Magnesium Sulphate, aka Epsom Salt, is a compound with two elements – Magnesium plus Sulphates.
- And Magnesium Chloride is a compound with two elements – Magnesium plus Chlorides.
When Mag n Mag is added to your bath water the ions separate into:
- Magnesium
- Sulphates
- Chlorides
Therefore, our body absorbs all 3 beneficial minerals.
Magnesium
Sufficient Magnesium is absolutely vital for a healthy body, and yet Magnesium deficiency is rife in many cultures today with many suffering needlessly because of it. Literally whole books are written on Magnesium in the body.
Magnesium may relieve muscle cramps and spasms, enhance sleep and help regulate electrolytes. It helps to regulate the activity of more than 325 body functions from muscle control and electrical impulses to energy production and the elimination of harmful toxins. It works in conjunction with calcium in the body.
Magnesium is necessary for the body to bind adequate amounts of serotonin, a mood elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of well-being and relaxation.
If Magnesium deficiency is the underlying cause of these symptoms, it is amazing how quick these symptoms dissipate after Magnesium Baths.
Sulphates
The Sulphates in Epsom Salts help detox the body of toxins, in particular phenols. All foods contain some phenolic compounds. However, some foods have a much higher content than others do. We have a sulfation pathway which should process out phenolic compounds as fast as we consume them but can sometimes be compromised. When the phenols start backing up in the system it can cause night waking, night sweats, irritability, and skin irritations. Sulphates attach themselves to phenols and escort them from the body.
Sulphates also help heal leaky gut. They act like a glue or a plug in the gut lining eventually assisting in sealing the punctured gut lining. But for this to occur the food that is causing leaky gut first needs to be identified and no longer eaten.
Chlorides
The Chlorides in Magnesium Chloride help regulate electrolytes in our body. Electrolytes are critical to generate energy. They generate electricity, contract muscles, move water & fluids within the body, and participate in many other activities. Chlorides also assist digestion by assisting in the secretion of stomach acid. A low stomach pH is needed to break down food well.
Enjoy a soothing bath of Mag n Mag where you benefit from all the minerals of each salt.
A super boost indeed!
