Magnesium – Known as the ‘original chill pill’, in this case, it’s in topical form.
Using Magnesium topically is a great way to boost your Magnesium levels and help calm your system – and it absorbs fast through the skin.
Magnesium works in all sorts of ways throughout our bodies. Magnesium is needed for hundreds of cellular functions within the body, but for now, we are going to just focus on a few benefits that it has to offer to help you feel better and recover faster.
Healthy muscles – Magnesium is great for sore muscles, relaxing tension, and supporting muscles. You may find it helpful if you experience cramps in your legs and feet, and also restless leg syndrome or growing pains.
Better sleep – Magnesium is known to improve the quality of sleep. Who doesn’t need some better sleep right?
Calming –Â Magnesium is known for its calming properties in reducing anxiety and stress. When we are unwell or stressed, Our body uses up any magnesium stores that we have. So by getting your daily Magnesium dose, you can make sure that you are keeping your levels up.
Headaches – Many say that they have found Magnesium helpful in reducing headaches and the frequency of migraines. You may find that headaches reduce while regularly taking Magnesium, and you can also apply a little bit of cream to your forehead and temples at the onset.
Period pain – Magnesium may be helpful in reducing pre-menstrual symptoms and cramps.
Directions: Massage some cream into your feet at night (best place to apply). You can also massage some straight into sore/tense muscles, however just be aware that Magnesium tingles/itches on the skin. This is not noticeable under the feet so it’s a great place to apply it if wanting to avoid the tingles.

This is magic, love it, nice and high concentration you can feel the tingle and it rubs in easy. May be a bit tingly for childrens skin so grab the kids one if your child has growing pains, but this is the one I like!

I have been using this for about a week now and have been slightly disappointed with the feel of it. I found it unusable as a hand cream as it left a greasy feel. Will try it on my feet overnight and see if that is long enough for the greasiness to be absorbed. Smells lovely though.

Hi there – yes, the cream is designed to be rubbed into your body to let the magnesium absorb into your body and aid vital processes (it really isn’t designed to be a hand cream 🙂 ). Many people massage the cream into their thigh or arm muscles to help with muscle recovery after exercise and it tends to absorb better on those larger muscles. The creators suggest “Best applied under feet, or massage directly into area of discomfort/cramp.” We do hope you find that more comfortable!

I’ve been known to toss and turn for hours before getting off to sleep. I decided to try something to help and this did not disappoint. Light and easily absorbed with no greasy residue and lovely lavender smell. Fell asleep so much faster after using this, highly recommend!

Love this cream! It’s light and absorbs quickly plus it smells lovely. I have used a magnesium cream or oil on my feet before sleeping for a couple of years since I had a foot injury. It really helps to ease aches and helps me sleep. Recommended!
