Re: magnesium / trans-dermal oil

[Guest guest]

Lee had good results with the magnesium oil, here's the link to her post that

mentions it:

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/message/38439

Every post I have seen about the Ancient Minerals brand has been positive.

Here's a link to Ancient Minerals:

http://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Minerals-Ultra-Pure-Magnesium/dp/B001AD0HL8/ref=sr\

_1_1?ie=UTF8 & s=hpc & qid=1275489591 & sr=1-1

Ancient Minerals IS very expensive (8 oz for $29). There's a less expensive

brand (12 oz for $19.95); it appears to be the same stuff as the Ancient

Minerals, but I don't know that for certain. Here's the link:

http://www.amazon.com/TransDerma-Magnesium-Oil-12-ounces/dp/B002XRB9OE/ref=sr_1_\

2?ie=UTF8 & s=hpc & qid=1275489591 & sr=1-2

A few people have mentioned that the magnesium oil causes a minor skin

irritation. Ancient Minerals recommends diluting the mag oil 50/50 with water

if this happens, this will usually eliminate any irritation.

I'm going to try that oil. If you take the oil do you have to stop oral

magnesium? Can I put the oil directly on my back/hips and neck where I have

pain?

I find it very useful to use the oil directly on sore muscles. Instead of diluting it with water, I just pat a little water onto my skin before I spray the oil. You can use the oil in additon to oral magnesium. The oil doesn't cause diarrhea. I think I remember that ten sprays equals 100 mg. AnnSent from my iPhone

I have the oil. How much do you use? The directions say 4 or 5 sprays. How much are you getting?

I got the oil yesterday that was recommended. I sprayed several sprays directly

on my low back/hips when I woke up. I did not rub in, was I supposed to? I

didn't feel any burning at all on my skin. What does that mean?

I always rub it around for better coverage. Also I think it dries faster. I don't really know which way absorbs better. AnnSent from my iPad

I usually rub it it, but I doubt whether that makes too much difference; it's

just a little less messy! I never felt any burning at all, I believe that some

people's skin is more sensitive to it.

I CAN say for sure that the mag oil is working for me, I just got an RBC

magnesium test and it's gone up a little. Finally. The oral mag just never

raised the RBC.

Thank you. I'll try that tomorrow. Can I use more than 7 sprays?
