Apparently, we all have magnesium deficiencies. Apart from being on the verge of death, such deficiency will not be shown by a blood test, but you can spot it by inexplicably tense muscles, chronic fatigue, problems with concentration, irregular heartbeat, various strange pains, mood swings and general tension (including PMS), inability to focus, ADHD, depression, migraines, skin problems (including AD), problems with sleep, digestion, bowel movements… Magnesium is involved in so many processes that its deficiency manifests itself in many different ways, so if you suspect that you have it, you can safely assume that supplementation will help.
Magnesium, which relaxes, is an antagonist of calcium, which tightens. Thus, magnesium, for example, lowers blood pressure and relaxes muscles, and calcium causes them to contract and increases pressure, etc. Counterintuitively, uncontrolled muscle cramps are not a symptom of magnesium deficiency, but calcium deficiency, and with impaired absorption you can be deficient in both elements and have unstable levels that produce various strange symptoms one after another (especially in terms of electrolytes, vitamin D3 levels, etc.).
How to replenish magnesium?
In the case of digestive problems, e.g. when the pH of gastric juices is too high, swallowing a handful of capsules a day leads to stomach pain, diarrhea and, as a result, mediocre absorption, which is why – if possible – I always opt for liquid supplements. However, there are conditions in which even liquids are unacceptable. What then?
Not everyone knows that minerals can be perfectly replenished through the skin.
The skin is the largest organ in the body and can absorb micronutrients with its entire surface. However, in addition to bypassing the stomach, transdermal supplementation also has the advantage of undergoing osmosis – minerals penetrate from a higher concentration environment to a lower concentration environment and naturally balance the levels between salt water and blood, which means that the body will take up exactly as many elements as it needs and there is no risk of overdosing. And the activity itself is extremely stress-relieving and has a great effect on the skin and on literacy.
Assuming that even organic food is poor in minerals and that we all suffer from greater or lesser mineral deficiencies, I always have a box of Kłodawa salt (a full spectrum of over 80 minerals, super pure salt from deep deposits) and Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) by the bathtub, of which I add handfuls into every bath, whether for children or for adults. I don’t worry about the dosage – I just make sure that the water is salty, and its concentration will be lower than when floating, in the Dead Sea, or even in thermal baths.
Why do I choose Kłodawa salt? Because it comes from deep deposits so it is super clean compared to most of the sea salts advertised today (every salt is from the sea!) that have been evaporated from seas and oceans which are polluted with mercury, plastic and sewage. It is also much cheaper compared to Himalayan salt and by using it I support domestic production, so there are a lot 🙂 of advantages
And magnesium sulfate is better than, for example, chloride in that it also improves the condition of the skin. We use organic sulfur (MSM) in our syrup internally for the skin, for detoxing, improving the condition of joints, mucous membranes, sinuses, etc., but adding it from the outside can’t hurt, especially when it is highly unlikely to overdose it in the bathtub😉.
Regardless of whether you want to relax your muscles after training, reduce PMS symptoms, clear your sinuses, or relieve sunburn, it is worth buying at least a 25 kg bag of Kłodawa salt and Epsom salt online and build yourself a home spa that is always at hand and is much cheaper 😉
Types of brine baths depending on your needs:
1. brine bath / mineral supply – Kłodawa salt (minimum 1-2 glasses of salt per bathtub),
2. magnesium replenishment (muscle relaxation, PMS, AD) – at least 1-2 glasses of Epsom salt per bathtub
[it is recommended to take therapeutic baths in the Dead Sea for 30 minutes each day for a minimum of a month],
3. general oxygenation / unblocking of sinuses – brine bath + 4-5 100 ml bottles of hydrogen peroxide 3% per bathtub
[or correspondingly smaller amounts of perhydrol],
4. aromatherapy bath – salt brine bath + a few drops of natural essential oils (lavender helps you fall asleep, bergamot improves your mood, rose is divine, etc.),
5. iodine bath (Lugol’s solution) – brine bath + a few drops of Lugol’s 10% solution (correspondingly larger amounts of the weaker 1% solution usually available in the pharmacy)
[please note – Lugol’s liquid is corrosive, so it should be added immediately before entering the bathtub (also because iodine is a gas and evaporates quickly) and you should not add too much because then the skin heats up for many more hours 🙂 ],6. detoxifying / deacidifying bath with baking soda – soothing for the skin, e.g. during chickenpox, HFMD, mycosis, sunburn; during antiparasitic treatments (to reduce Herx symptoms); during inflammation of the urinary tract, etc.
My favorite bath is the all-inclusive bath, which is a combination of all the elements above (at least one glass of Kłodawa salt and Epsom salt, a bottle of mineral water and a good movie on a safely positioned laptop 🙂
I only avoid combining iodine and hydrogen peroxide, and othen than this – knock yourself out.
A bathtub full of salt, especially magnesium, saved me from a horrible Herxheimer’s reaction during my antiparasitic treatment with Zentel.
The only thing to remember is that baths should be taken in non-hot water and last between 20-40 minutes to avoid dehydration. However, I don’t worry about dehydration – I put a bottle of water and Concentrace on the bathtub and binge-watch.😉
Those unfortunate people who do not own a bathtub can resort to a large bowl of water or, as I learned recently – use wellies! While brine baths in wellies seem to me absolutely brilliant in their simplicity, I will leave the dosage of salt to those who are🙂 experimenting with this method
It’s never too early to replenish minerals – I have been adding small amounts of Kłodawa salt and magnesium to every bath for mi kids since birth and I increase the salinity as they get older. They really like this different kind of snow only it dissolves too 😉 quickly
