Magnesium Chloride ("Bishofit") can be applied transdermally using the following methods:
* Compresses (very effective and economical method. Can be used for localised aches/pains, arthritis, wounds, etc.)
* Baths (effective, but less economical, than a compress. Works on the whole body).
* Massage medium (although Magnesium Oil is not actually an oil, it has an oily consistency, and is a very effective way to deal with muscle aches/pains).
* As part of clay and mud packs (body wraps, compresses, masks, poultices). Excellent for the skin and a great way to bring Magnesium to the body.
Some people may find that pure magnesium oil may irritate their skin. If this happens, make a pause in the treatments until the irritation goes away and try diluted solutions.
Massage medium: "Bishofit" is especially effective when used as a massage medium. It has an oily consistency which makes it very suitable for massage.
Massage speeds up circulation, opens up pores and raises the skin temperature by attracting blood to the area. This improves the absorption by the body of Magnesium and other minerals contained in "Bishofit". Dilute the product if necessary to suit each particular skin type.
