DIY Magnesium Balm: 5 Signs You're Deficient in Magnesium
“And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.”
Genesis 1:9-10
Balm made with natural, organic Magnesium Chloride (found at the bottom of oceans and lakes) is the easiest, fastest and most inexpensive way to saturate the body with Magnesium to overcome a deficiency., and the wonderful thing about this recipe for DIY Magnesium Balm (I like to call it my Beautiful Bedtime Balm!) Is that in addition to the incredible benefits of the MAGNESIUM, it's customizable to whatever your personal needs are with the Emerald Essential Oils.
It’s interesting to note that many of the symptoms below are also undesireablw symptoms of MENOPAUSE and PERIMENOPAUSE. And wouldn’t you know, magnesium wanes during both of these seasons!
Since I am in this season myself, I chose to use my Menopause Eden Oil and Vanilla Jungle Oil Blends! The aroma is MAGNIFICENT, my newst fave-and so are the benefits!
Magnesium is an essential mineral needed for several important functions, including a strong immune system, proper heart contractions, restful sleep, digestion and a healthy nervous system, but unfortuneately, Magnesium deficiency is increasingly common today. Here are five+ signs and symptoms of magnesium deficiency, along with the recipe to make your own balm at home.
Fatigue
Chronic fatigue is one of the earliest signs of deficiency, as magnesium is needed for the body to convert food into energy. That said, Magnesium deficiency also causes sleeplessness, which then plays a factor in feeling fatigued during the day when you should have energy! So which came first the chicken or the egg? That may vary from person to person, but if you are feeling fatigued, I would add this Magnesium Balm to your bedtime routine immediately. If this is your issue, I would choose the Emerald Endocrine or Shalom Oil Blends!
Digestive Problems
Nausea and lack of appetite are among the early signs of deficiency, as magnesium is needed for a healthy digestive system and normal bowel function. Some people also experience constipation and gastrointestinal problems. In addition, certain medicines used to treat gastrointestinal symptoms, including acid reflux, can prevent the body from absorbing magnesium properly, which makes deficiency even more likely. It's a viscious cycle that can and must be stopped asap in order for you to overcome. If this is your issue I would choose the Emerald Digestive Blend!
Muscle Cramps
Magnesium is essential for normal muscle contractions. Inadequate intake can lead to muscle cramps. Magnesium deficiency can also cause muscle weakness, twitches and tremors. The occasional muscle cramp is usually nothing to worry about, especially if you've been doing more exercise than usual, but if you're experiencing frequent or widespread cramps, you most likely need to supplement magnesium, and topically is my favorite method! If this is your issue, I would choose the Emerald Miracle Blend!
Cognitive Problems
Hello BRAIN FOG! Magnesium deficiency can cause problems with memory and concentration. Brain fog and an inability to focus on simple tasks are common symptoms of deficiency. Low magnesium intake has also been linked to depression, anxiety and emotional numbness or apathy! In addition, low magnesium levels are linked to migraines and an increase in the severity or frequency of migraine symptoms. If brain fog, focus or memory issues are your issue, I would choose the Emerald Brainiac blend!
Palpitations
Magnesium is essential for the heart to contract properly. Low magnesium levels can cause palpitations that feel like missed heartbeats or fluttering in the chest. Severe magnesium deficiencies can lead to an irregular heartbeat and require urgent treatment. Depending on the severity of the problem, you may also experience chest pain, dizziness and shortness of breath.
Magnesium is one of the most important minerals and is needed for the body to function correctly. Deficiency can cause a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, digestive problems, muscle cramps, cognitive problems and palpitations and more, and one of the BEST ways to overcome is topically, while you sleep.
Happy healing and God bless you!
