This is a concentrated mineral solution made by dissolving magnesium chloride flakes or crystals in water - called "oil" due to it's slippery texture when rubbed onto wet skin.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup magnesium chloride flakes
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • * basically you just need equal amounts of each so whatever volume you are looking to end up with, adjust for that

Method
 

  1. Put magnesium flakes in a glass jar.
  2. Pour boiling water over flakes and stir until dissolved.
  3. Add essential oils (optional).
  4. Add to a spray bottle with a fine mist sprayer.
  5. HOW TO USE:
  6. Spray onto soles of feet, back of legs and knees, inside of the arms, on the abdomen, on the back of the neck, and anywhere there is pain, tension, or cramping.
  7. *Never spray on your face, eyes, open cuts, broken skin, or freshly shaved areas (as it will sting).
  8. *A soft tingling or itchy sensation is common when starting out and often fades as your body gets used to the mineral or as your magnesium levels improve. This is different than stinging on open skin.

Notes

*store in a cool, dark place out of direct heat and sunlight.
