Magnesium Oil Goodnight Spray from BetterYou encourages a good night's sleep

(07/09/2009)

Magnesium has a calming effect on the nervous system and is frequently used to promote good sleep. It also calms irritated and over-excited nerves. If magnesium levels are low, the nerves lose control over muscle activity, respiration and mental processes. Causes of insomnia, such as nervous fatigue, irritability, hypersensitivity, spasms, anxiety and irregular heartbeat, all respond to increased magnesium levels.

New Magnesium Oil Goodnight Spray from BetterYou™ encourages a good night’s sleep. The spray reduces muscle spasm, over-excited nerves and relaxes blood vessels. Magnesium Oil not only helps you have a better night’s sleep, but is also effective in overcoming headaches and migraines.

BetterYou™ Magnesium Oil Goodnight Spray provides elemental magnesium in its most absorbable form. The magnesium used is mined from European sea deposits over 250 million years old and one mile underground and the natural process of filtering and condensing produces a superior magnesium supply. Magnesium Oil’s salt structure provides the most absorbable source of elemental magnesium, naturally purified and uncontaminated by pollution.

Transdermal therapy involves magnesium absorption directly through the skin tissue rather than orally. Magnesium oil is made up of approximately 66% water and 33% magnesium chloride, along with the trace minerals Sodium and Potassium and, although not an oil at all, is both moisturizing and hydrating. By applying Magnesium Oil either topically or in a soak, magnesium can be absorbed by our bodies completely naturally, five times faster than if taken orally.

Transdermal application of magnesium is actually superior to oral supplements and is the best practical way magnesium can be used for health benefits other than by direct injection. Transdermal administration avoids primary processing by the liver and kidneys, effectively eradicating any potential laxative effects associated with oral supplementation. This type of application allows "tissue saturation", allowing the nutrients to penetrate directly into the circulation, where they can reach body tissue without loss. Magnesium Chloride has the added advantage of being hygroscopic and will attract water to it, thus keeping it wet on the skin until completely absorbed.

In a study of more than 200 patients, Dr W. Davis used magnesium chloride as a possible means of combatting insomnia. The researcher reported that sleep was induced rapidly and was uninterrupted, and that waking tiredness disappeared in 99 per cent of the patients. In addition, anxiety and tension diminished during the day.

For a good night’s sleep, apply 4-6 sprays to the shoulders and neck area and gently massage into the skin, shortly before going to bed. This is made even more effective if applied after a shower or bath.

“I call Magnesium ‘nature’s tranquilliser’” says Dr Marilyn Glenville, President Elect of Food and Health Forum, Royal Society of Medicine.

Magnesium Oil Good Night Spray from BetterYou™ retails at £14.50 for 100ml.
