Magnesium Balm Benefits
What are the benefits of topical magnesium?
Magnesium deficiency is a big problem for so many of us, whether we realize it or not. Lots of different health issues and discomforts stem from not having enough magnesium in our system. I have listed the benefits of magnesium balm in the photo. I want to go more into depth explaining the benefits I have experienced.
Magnesium is a mineral that is so critical to a whole host of our body’s functions. It makes sense that if we’re deficient, things won’t work well, and we’ll experience problems.
Thankfully, it’s easy to supplement with magnesium, and get my body’s level back to where it should be. However, there are a few things that I’ve discovered about supplementing with magnesium, so that my body can actually use it to restore health.
Forms of Magnesium
The most common way to supplement with magnesium, and the way that probably comes to mind for most people, is to take magnesium internally. This could be with a capsule or tablet, or as a powdered drink.
I find that taking magnesium internally is important, but I don’t rely on it’s entirely. It’s easy to take too little or too much magnesium when supplementing internally.
If I don’t take enough, the deficiency will continue, and my health issues won’t be addressed. If I take too much magnesium internally, it can upset my digestion. That’s no fun!
Also, my body can’t absorb and use magnesium as quickly or as effectively as it can with the Untamed Magnesium Balm. https://www.sheranchesboutique.ca/shop/p/untamed-magnesium-balm
My favorite way to use Magnesium
While I do think taking magnesium internally is important, I find that my favorite way to boost my magnesium levels is something called transdermal magnesium therapy, or applying magnesium to the skin.
Our skin can rapidly absorb magnesium directly into our bloodstream. This is much faster than taking magnesium internally. Also, the body can assimilate and use the magnesium more effectively when it is taken through the skin. The magnesium can enter the bloodstream and tissues, bringing magnesium balm benefits and balance.
When using magnesium through the skin, the body uses exactly the amount it needs, and overdosing is impossible. The digestive system is completely bypassed, so risk of upset is non-existent.
There are a couple of ways to supplement with magnesium on the skin. Magnesium chloride (also known as magnesium brine or oil) can be sprayed right onto the skin. This works very well as far as transdermal magnesium therapy, but it does have some downsides. Pure magnesium chloride can be drying to the skin, and it can tingle and itch, especially if you aren’t used to using it.
I believe the perfect way to absorb magnesium through the skin is with a magnesium balm. That way, the dryness and itchiness is avoided, and you still get the wonderful benefits of transdermal magnesium therapy.

How does Magnesium Deficiency happen?
So how does this happen in the first place? Why don’t I always naturally have the magnesium I need in my system?
There are a few different reasons for this. First of all, modern farming practices have largely depleted our soil of beneficial minerals, including magnesium. The foods we eat, unfortunately, just don’t contain the amounts of magnesium that they should be.
And more importantly what we eat and not eating properly is very much a problem. Another way is being on prescription drugs. These rapidly deplete the body’s levels of magnesium. Other ways include going through pregnancy, going through a lot of stressful events, or by sweating heavily and not replacing electrolytes and minerals properly. Eating a grain free diet can also deplete your levels of magnesium. Whenever I exercise and sweat heavily, I know it’s important to replace magnesium, along with other minerals and electrolytes.
