Bad Backs & Anxiety Attacks Magnesium Lotion (250ml)

What Does Topical Magnesium Do?

Topical magnesium (like spray and cream) is applied directly to the skin to bypass the digestive tract. It is primarily used to relieve muscle cramps, soothe aches, ease stress and promote restful sleep, while also offering a gentle alternative for people who experience stomach upset from oral supplements. A spray is simply that; magnesium chloride that has been made into an “oil” that can be sprayed directly onto skin for those that are sensitive to touch or don’t like the heavier feeling of a cream. It does the same thing it’s just a different form of application/texture.

A cream is a thicker lotion-type cream that is readily absorbed into skin but allows the product to be actively massaged in for extra benefits. My magnesium cream formula also includes hyaluronic acid and shea butter which help strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier, reduce inflammation and soothe sensitive skin which can help to combat the drying effects that can be experienced when using Magnesium Oil sprays.

What Are the Main Benefits of Magnesium Chrloride?

Muscle Relaxation & Recovery: Spraying it on sore muscles or the soles of the feet helps relax overactive muscle fibres, reducing cramping, tension and post work-out soreness.

Stress & Anxiety Relief: Topical application can help regulate the nervous system, encouraging a calming effect on the body and mind.

Improved Sleep: Many people find that applying the spray before bed helps combat insomnia and restless legs syndrome by promoting deeper, more regulated sleep cycles.

Gentle Absorption: Unlike oral supplements, applying magnesium transdermally avoids gastrointestinal discomfort, though some people may experience a slight tingling or itchy sensation on sensitive skin, this is harmless and will lessen with regular use of the product.

Why Do I Make My Magnesium Lotion with Chamomile Hydrosol?

Chamomile hydrosol in a magnesium spray or cream works synergistically to soothe and relax the body for muscle recovery and sleep. It provides targeted comfort by delivering the following extra benefits

Relaxes Muscles: Chamomile contains natural antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties (like apigenin and chamazulene). It helps alleviate muscle spasms, cramps and post-workout tension by working alongside magnesium to loosen tight muscles.

Calms the Nervous System: Stress is a major contributor to muscular tension. Chamomile acts as an aromatherapeutic agent to settle the mind and promote deep relaxation, helping your body truly unwind when recovering.

Softens the Skin: Magnesium sprays (which are essentially magnesium chloride dissolved in water) can sometimes cause a mild stinging sensation or dry out sensitive skin. Using a hydrosol like chamomile acts as a gentle soothing addition that softens and hydrates the skin.

Why Do I Make My Magnesium Lotion with Arnica Oil?

Arnica oil works by reducing inflammation and improving localised blood flow to ease sore or overworked muscles. When applied topically, active plant compounds help to alleviate discomfort and accelerate your body’s natural healing process. Arnica contains a potent bioactive compound called helenalin, which inhibits key inflammatory pathways and limits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Topical application stimulates circulation, which helps the body clear out damaged cells and metabolic waste that accumulate during muscle strain. Flavonoids and phenolic acids in arnica protect tissues from oxidative stress, helping to minimise soft-tissue damage and swelling. Arnica is also great for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) after intense exercise, general muscle aches and bruising.

*Arnica is for topical use only, if ingested it can cause severe gastrointestinal distress. Do not apply arnica to broken skin or open wounds. It is also recommended that because it comes from the daisy/sunflower family it may cause contact dermatitis or allergic reaction for those with sensitive skin. It is also recommended to consult your healthcare provider or avoid use if you are taking blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs) as arnica can increase the risk of bleeding.

What Is My Secret Ingredient?

COPAIBA ESSENTIAL OIL

Relieves muscle pain through its high concentration of beta-caryophyllene, a compound that binds directly to the body’s CB2 receptors. This interaction mimics mechanisms found in cannabis but without the psychoactive effects, actively reducing inflammation, suppressing inflammatory molecules and dampening pain signals at the source. This mechanism works as follows:

CB2 Receptor Binding: Beta-caryophyllene selectively binds CB2 receptors, which are part of the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) and are highly concentrated in immune tissues and peripheral nerves.

Pain Modulation: This receptor activation alters how sensory neurons detect and transmit painful stimuli, providing targeted relief for sore or aching muscles.

Anti—Inflammatory Action: Copaiba helps lower the production of inflammatory cytokines (proteins that signal inflammation), reducing swelling and tissue irritation.

* Topical copaiba oil is generally well-tolerated, but it is contraindicated for infants, children and those who are pregnant or nursing due to the lack of safety data on how systemic absorption affects fetal development or nursing infants. If you have an allergy to Peru Balsam or related resins you may experience cross-reactivity. Avoid applying to cuts, abrasions, eyes, nose or intimate areas. Whilst mostly applicable to ingested copaiba consult a healthcare practitioner if you are taking lithium. Copaiba can mild diuretic effects, which may decrease the body’s ability to excrete lithium.

How Do I Use Magnesium Lotion?

Dispense approximately a teaspoon (4-6 pumps of lotion) into your hands and rub into the skin using gentle, circular motions. Leave the lotion on for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the minerals to absorb and you can wipe off any excess with a damp towel if needed to avoid sensory issues. For best results leave on overnight.

For Sleep & Relaxation: Massage into your calves and the soles of your feet 10-15 minutes before bed.

For Muscle Soreness: Apply directly to targeted areas where pain exists.

For Cramps: Massage into your abdomen or lower back.

A mild tingling or stinging sensation is normal for firt-time users, especially if your cellular magnesium levels are low. It typically decreases with consistent daily use. Do not apply to freshly shaved, irritated or broke skin as this can cause stinging.

Daily application is recommended for optimal results.
