Magnesium Oil Detox

Magnesium oil is considered by many in the field of alternative health to be the most important mineral for detox. It helps by promoting the healing and regeneration of the body's cellular structure. However, the benefits in addition to this detox agent include increased energy relief from aches and pains, better sleep, healthy skin (and teeth as well), and stress relief. But all of these benefits come from the detoxification properties of the oil, which serve to eliminate unhealthy cells, build new ones and protect the ones you have.

Application

• Apply the oil directly to your skin and rub it in. This is the best way for the oil to be absorbed and affect the skin cells, as well as the rest of the body's cells over time. This way of entertaining the oil serves to even its absorption and introduce the mineral directly through the skin into the bloodstream. Some stinging might occur. If it does, then it is acceptable to dilute the oil with water.

Baths

• Some prefer to add the oil directly to a bath. You can rinse off in the shower later if necessary. The benefit to this method is that the body absorbs all its needs, and does not absorb any more. According to the Life Enthusiast website, magnesium in pill form does not give the body this option.

Warning and Other Uses

• Do not apply magnesium oil to dry, cracked or broken skin. This can lead to some pain. It might be worthwhile to try magnesium oil in a foot bath. Life-enthusiast.com writers even claim that it can be used as a salt substitute. It can also be applied directly to the teeth and gums to do for the mouth what it does for the rest of the body: promote the elimination of unhealthy cells for a quick detox.
