Unveiling the Magnesium Marvel: Nourishing Your Body Inside and Out

Magnesium is often overlooked essential mineral. This powerhouse of a mineral that orchestrates a symphony of vital functions within the human body is deficient in New Zealand Soils and therefore, many New Zealanders lack this precious resource in their bodies.

The Magnificent Mineral: Magnesium’s Role in Your Body

Magnesium, a quiet hero, partakes in over 300 biochemical reactions that keep your body ticking. Here are some key roles magnesium plays in your well-being:

1. Muscle and Nerve Function: Magnesium is a conductor, regulating muscle contractions and the transmission of nerve signals.
2. Energy Production: It’s a co-pilot in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), your body’s energy currency.
3. Heart Health: Magnesium maintains a harmonious heartbeat and defends against arrhythmias.
4. Bone Health: Crucial for bone mineralization, magnesium partners with calcium and vitamin D.
5. Blood Pressure Regulation: Magnesium relaxes blood vessels, championing healthy blood pressure.
6. Blood Sugar Control: It aids insulin sensitivity and promotes stable blood sugar levels.
7. Immune System Support: Magnesium shapes immune cell function and manages the body’s inflammatory response.
8. Digestive Health; Magnesium relaxes the muscle, which is the digestive system and plays a key role in digestive function and regular bowel movement.

Low Magnesium: Symptoms and Risks

A magnesium deficiency, scientifically known as hypomagnesemia, can trigger a myriad of health issues. Warning signs include muscle cramps, tremors, fatigue, constipation, eye twitch, restless legs and irregular heartbeat. In severe cases, it can lead to seizures, numbness, and personality changes. Recognizing these symptoms is crucial for timely intervention through dietary changes or natural magnesium remedies such as Ocean Gypsy Magnesium Spray and Ocean Gypsy Bath/Foot Soak. I often find Magnesium supplements can disrupt the digestive system, causing diarrhoea.

Sources of Magnesium: A Multifaceted Approach

To secure your magnesium intake, you have a range of options:

1. Foods: Dark leafy greens (such as spinach and kale), nuts (like almonds and cashews), seeds (including pumpkin and sunflower), whole grains (like brown rice and quinoa), and legumes (beans and lentils) are abundant sources of magnesium. Learn about how to soak grains here to remove phytic acid essential for nuts, seeds and wholegrains.
2. Epsom Salt: Epsom salt baths offer a delightful way to absorb magnesium through your skin, soothing muscle tension and stress.
3. Ocean Gypsy Magnesium Spray; This product offer a convenient and efficient way to topically apply magnesium for muscle relief, relaxation, and overall well-being.
4. Ocean Gypsy Bath/Foot Soak: It’s a fast and effective way to get Magnesium into your body. The Soaks contain magnesium flakes, natural Epsom salts, baking soda to alkalize the water and Himalayan salt.

Stress and Magnesium: A Soothing Connection

Magnesium is often coined “nature’s tranquilliser” due to its calming influence on the nervous system. It can alleviate stress, anxiety, and promote relaxation due to its effects on muscles and the nervous system. Maintaining adequate magnesium levels might be a natural and holistic approach to stress management when combined with holistic tools such as breathing exercises, yoga, lifestyle changes and eating a holistic diet.

Magnesium and Constipation: Finding Relief

If you’ve battled constipation, you might be familiar with magnesium. Spraying Ocean Gypsy Magnesium Spray over the belly and massage in a clockwise direction daily and spraying onto the feet before bed increases magnesium in the body. Having foot baths four times a week is an excellent way to keep the digestive system relaxed and functioning optimally. Have 1 cup of Ocean Gypsy Bath/Foot Soak into a Foot Bath with Purified Water (NOT CHLORINATED). For a bath 2 cups per bath.

Final Thoughts: Magnesium – A Versatile Ally in Health

Magnesium, the unsung hero of our health, contributes to countless bodily functions. It is a pivotal element in managing stress, preventing constipation, and promoting overall well-being. Whether you embrace a balanced diet rich in magnesium sources or explore supplements and topical solutions like Ocean Gypsy Magnesium Spray and Bath/Foot Soak, you’re taking a significant step towards a healthier, happier you. It’s time to unlock the true potential of this remarkable mineral.
