Sweet Dreams, I Love You Kids Magnesium Spray (250ml)

What is Kid’s Magnesium Oil?

Safe for children aged 3 months and older (up to 10) kids magnesium oil is formulated at a much lower percentage to avoid the potential discomfort that can be caused on their delicate, much more sensitive skin.

Why Should I Use Magnesium Oil on My Kids?

Well there’s no rule that says you have too but magnesium oil primarily used to soothe muscles, ease growing pains and promote a calming bedtime routine. Now here’s the controversial part, I have used magnesium oil on my kids for years, including nieces and nephews and had great success with it helping them sleep. In the professional world opinion is divided as to whether it actually has benefits or they are mostly anecdotal or simply a placebo effect from the night-time ritual.

I personally think that sometimes if something as lovely as a magnesium spray actually worked it would put some of these professionals out of work so I’m happy to work with my “placebo effect” if it means that I don’t have to follow the path of drug therapy for my Aspergers/ADHD daughter… this is a personal preference and regardless of professional opinion I urge you to create meaningful night—time routines with your kids and even if they still don’t sleep for 8 hours it’s still a wonderful bonding exercise.

Main Reasons to Use Magnesium Spray for Kids

Muscle Relaxation

It acts as a natural muscle relaxant, helping to soothe sore muscles, restless legs and muscle cramps.

Soothing Growing Pains

Apply it to your child’s legs to help relieve the discomfort associated with bone growth spurts. Magnesium allows muscles to contract and relax properly, preventing involuntary cramping or tension. It also has the ability to prevent neuromuscular overstimulation reducing the feeling of achy legs.

Magnesium supports the production of melatonin and GABA ((gamma-aminobutyric acid) a naturally occuring amino acid that functions as the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in your central nervous system. It acts like a “brake” for your brain by blocking specific chemical messages, which helps reduce nerve cell hyperactivity and produces a calming effect. This helps kids to sleep through the pain rather than waking up distressed.

Calming & Mood Support

Magnesium plays a role in regulating the nervous system, which may help reduce stress, anxiety and hyperactivity. It acts as a natural relaxant for the nervous system and regulates key brain chemicals. It is often referred to as the “relaxation mineral” as it helps ease restlessness and is vital for balancing the neurotransmitters that manage focus, stress and emotional regulation.

When kids are physically or emotionally stressed their little bodies burn through magnesium faster. Replenishing it helps prevent physical tension, irritability and meltdowns. Magnesium also helps regulate excitatory signals in the brain (like glutamate) and balances mood-supporting chemicals like seratonin and dopamine. This supports emotional stability and attention span.

Lastly, it promotes physical relaxation and triggers the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Rested children are naturally less irritable and better equipped to handle daily challenges.

Why Is a Bedtime Massage So Good For My Kids?

A bedtime massage is excellent for our babies because it triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering stress hormones (cortisol) and boosting sleep-inducing chemicals like seratonin and oxytocin. This helps your child physically unwind, regulates their circadian rhythm and promotes deeper, more restorative rest.

Gentle touch reduces cortisol taking your child out of “fight or flight” mode and putting their body into a calm “rest and digest” state. Skin to skin contact releases oxytocin, the “love hormone” which helps your child feel safe, secure and deeply connected to you before bed.

For children with ADHD or Autism, calming touch helps regulate the nervous system, easing sensory processing issues and restlessness.

How Do I Use Magnesium Spray on My Kids?

Keep it short to begin with, start with a 5-10 minute routine and when first using magnesium spray it is recommended to apply to the soles of the feet and legs. This helps to reduce any tingly or itchy sensations that can occur when you first start to use topical magnesium. It is harmless and it disappears quickly with consistent daily use but it just makes it a little less weird feeling.

Simply spray (1 to 2 sprays) into the palms of your hands and using slow, rhythmic, soothing strokes apply to each leg and foot. Use another 1-2 sprays on the other foot/leg.
