Magnesium is one of the most important elements God put on our planet and in our body!

Do you realize 4 out of every 5 Americans are magnesium deficient. Most of us don’t even realize how important magnesium is to our body and organs. Not only is it important itself but it is also very vital in helping our body absorb calcium.

This wonderful element on our planet, magnesium is also present in every organ in the human body. In fact, it’s considered a vital mineral for over 300 biochemical reactions that regulate our health and wellness. But unfortunately, many of us simply don’t get enough magnesium in our bodies to the point that we unknowingly suffer from a magnesium deficiency. 

In a report by the World Health Organization, it was found that intake levels of magnesium are varied in people all over the world, and that less than 60 percent of adult men and women in the U.S. met the “Adequate Intake” (AI) values for magnesium. Frankly, we also aren’t getting as much in our diets thanks to water filtering and decreased minerals in the soil because of pesticide use and over-farming.

Therefore, while it’s also found in unfiltered drinking water, it’s key to consume magnesium-rich foods like dairy products, vegetables, grain, fruit and nuts. And another key way of getting more magnesium in your body? Magnesium oil.

It’s a wonderful home remedy for a number of daily ailments, magnesium most notably has been credited with decreasing stress, sustaining a sense of well-being and improving sleep. Lately, studies have shown that magnesium can also boost performance levels, improve skin quality, and even help hypertension and diabetes.

Background of Magnesium Oil

Magnesium ions in the body are most commonly found in bones, but are also important elements in enzymes that help break down the food we eat into energy. Magnesium is a helper in so many different bodily processes, sometimes it is the key to unlocking the benefits in therapies and remedies that don’t seem to be working.

Magnesium has a role in the synthesis of essential molecules like DNA, RNA and proteins. In bones, cell membranes and chromosomes, magnesium makes up a large portion of the structural base. Magnesium also plays a large part in nutrient reactions and interactions, helping achieve absorption and balance in the body.

It’s important to note that magnesium is key to calcium absorption. These two work in a very special relationship with each other in the body, for if you have a calcium deficiency or imbalance, then you also may have a magnesium deficiency. Often, a magnesium deficiency can be a precursor to later calcium issues, because of this affect on calcium uptake! This relationship is why calcium food sources are the most effective when eaten with magnesium-rich foods.

Magnesium deficiency has a number of negative affects and has been linked to:

ü  Hypertension and cardiovascular disease

ü  Coronary Heart Disease

ü  Metabolic Syndrome

ü  Stroke

ü  Osteoporosis

ü  Decreased insulin sensitivity

ü  Asthma

ü  Migraines and headaches

ü  Inflammation

ü  Issues with the inner lining of blood vessels (endothelial dysfunction)

ü  Impairment of exercise performance

ü  Gastrointestinal issues

Magnesium Oil 4 oz Spray

Magnesium Oil

Ancient people these so-called ancient minerals for topical and transdermal therapies for centuries, with little knowledge of the science behind the process. These included mineral baths, herbal compresses, mud packs, and steam and sweat lodges.

We know now how beneficial transdermal therapies can be in healing and wellness. In this case, transdermal application of magnesium helps to prevent side effects and can work more quickly and effectively.

It has been found that magnesium, despite being available in many dietary sources, is not best absorbed orally. Magnesium taken orally is affected by a number of elements in your gut, and can also act as a laxative, which reduces the amount of time the mineral can be absorbed in the body.

Injections of magnesium are commonly used for heart attacks and strokes, but the best way to regularly increase levels is using magnesium in a transdermal fashion. Some health experts have begun calling topical magnesium application, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (TMT).

In a magnesium study in Spring 2010, patients using transdermal magnesium therapy saw increases in their cellular magnesium levels after 12 weeks of using magnesium sprays and soaks. The average increase over 12 weeks was 25.2 percent, which I consider very impressive.

The RDA (Recommended Daily Amount) of magnesium is about 300 milligrams daily, but the Office of Dietary Supplements recommends optimum levels are 400–420 milligrams for men and 310–320 milligrams for women daily. Our current diets are providing on average, less than 250 milligrams per day. Use of magnesium oil to supplement this deficiency is the easiest and most effective way.

7 Magnesium Oil Benefits

1. Sports performance and workout recovery

Athletes need adequate magnesium levels to perform at their best. Magnesium studies have shown that exercise redistributes magnesium throughout the body and can negatively affect physical performance. Athletes like gymnasts and wrestlers that rely on weight control may be the most affected.

Magnesium-deficient individuals can find beneficial effects on their exercise performance when magnesium supplements are introduced. Magnesium oil is also a natural muscle relaxant and applications to sore muscles and joints can also provide pain and ache relief.

2. Migraine Relief

Migraine sufferers have lower levels of intracellular magnesium during acute migraine attacks. Low levels of magnesium affect a number of related receptors and neurotransmitters that cause migraine headaches. Studies have also shown that regular magnesium supplementation can reduce the frequency of migraines.

3. Skin care

In studies regarding magnesium oil uses, magnesium has been shown to break apart different fats and oils and, therefore, can help aid in reducing skin oiliness. Magnesium benefits also include its stress-relieving abilities, which can help to reduce stress-related skin irritations such as acne and rosacea.

4. Regulating diabetes

Poorly controlled diabetes results in a large excretion of glucose in urine, which in turn, depletes magnesium levels and has major implications in insulin resistance. Proper magnesium levels are incredibly important in diabetes patients, as insulin resistance can result in major problems in trying to control diabetes mellitus

5. Regulating hypertension

Magnesium supplementation has been shown to offer slight decreases in blood pressure in patients suffering from hypertension. There are a number of additional factors that affect blood pressure in these individuals, but the studies concluded magnesium supplementation lowers blood pressure. 

6. Stress relief and general well-being

Magnesium has long been known for its ability to relieve stress, as it is typically wasted via urine in times of duress. It aids in helping a number of neurological and physiological processes when the body is under stress, so maintaining sufficient levels will help to balance hormones naturally.

7. Sleep improvement

Magnesium works as a natural muscle relaxant, which is why many people swear by it to help with sleep issues. Magnesium helps you sleep because of its ability mineral to relax GABA receptors in the brain and nervous system, which helps promote a “slow down” you need in order to sleep.

Magnesium supplementation has also been shown to provide benefits, such as:

ü  Care to prevent seizures for pregnant women with preeclampsia or eclampsia

ü  Protection against brain damage in premature infants

ü  Help with morning sickness in pregnant women

ü  Hormone balancing

ü  Reducing symptoms of PMS

ü  Help prevent osteoporosis

How to Use Magnesium Oil

It’s recommended that once your start using magnesium oil that you continue to do so daily, applying more as you feel comfortable. It can take time to drastically increase magnesium levels, so it’s important to stick with regular applications. Keep track of your well-being and ailments prior to starting your regular applications to see how magnesium is affecting you and whether you need to change your dosage.

Spray: Spraying magnesium oil directly on the skin is the most common application of the mineral. It’s best to apply after a shower, when the skin is clear of lotions or other oils. After spraying, magnesium oil should be thoroughly rubbed in and left to absorb for about 30 minutes. Depending on your preference, you can shower or wipe down to eliminate any residue.

The first few times applying magnesium spray may result in some uncomfortable tingling. This sensation should dissipate the longer you use it.

Massage: Massage promotes blood flow and will ultimately maximize the absorption of magnesium oil. Magnesium oil is used by the body primarily in the area of application, so muscle cramps and soreness can be alleviated using massage and magnesium oil as treatment.

Sports Rub: Essential oils like wintergreen oil  (which we have available as well) can be added to magnesium oil to create a more potent massage oil for sports massages.

Bath: Some users say direct application of magnesium oil can create a tingling or stinging sensation they do not enjoy, so soaking in magnesium chloride diluted in a hot bath can be a great alternative. Using essential oils to add a pleasing scent is also common.

Foot Soaks: Similar to a bath, soaking feet or legs in warm water with magnesium chloride can help provide benefits to specific areas.

Deodorant: Mineral salts have been used for many years as a natural odor blocker. Magnesium oil will work as a non-toxic deodorant too. Be sure not to apply magnesium oil to freshly-shaven skin, as it will cause irritation.

What are we truly doing to our skin? Are we making matters worse instead of better?

It may come as a shock to many but about 98% of the product on the market that say it moisturizes the skin in fact dries it instead. Why? We the biggest problem is the alcohol in them. Most products you buy in the store is over 70% alcohol. Even though they claim to have all these good ingredients in them which I am sure they do but the problem is how much? Fact is that they only have to have a "dusting" of an ingredients to claim it is present in the product. For another fact out of that remaining 30% of the product, roughly about 25% of that is petroleum or mineral oil and water, 3% is fragrance and colorant, and maybe if your lucky that remaining 2% is something that is actually good for your skin.

Now you may be thinking but it feels good on my skin. Yes, petroleum does feel good. But will never do any good. In fact, it actually makes things worse because it clogs your pours; which doesn't allow your skin to breath.

Now this includes everything. Your lotion, soap, shampoo, conditioner, night creams, facial cleaners, all of it. Go ahead, take a look at the bottle.

Here is a few items to look at:
Common Liquid Soap: Water , Ammonium C12-15 Pareth Sulfate , Magnesium Isododecylbenzenesulfonate , Lauramidopropylamine Oxide , SD Alcohol 3-A , Sodium Xylenesulfonate , Sodium Chloride , Fragrance , Pentasodium Pentetate , DMDM Hydantoin , Sodium Bisulfite , D&C Orange No. 4 (active ingredients: Triclosan 0.12%).
Common Lotion: WATER, GLYCERIN, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, PETROLATUM, MINERAL OIL, CETEARETH-20, ALUMINUM STARCH OCTENYLSUCCINATE, ASCORBYL PALMITATE*, TOCOPHEROL**, PANTHENOL***, TYLENE GLYCOL, LECITHIN, ALCOHOL, CETYL-PG HYDROXYETHYL PALMITAMIDE, ALLANTOIN, DIMETHICONE, GLYCERYL DILAURATE, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, STEARIC ACID, CARBOMER, METHYLPARABEN, PROPYLPARABEN, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, DMDM HYDANTOIN, FRAGRANCE.
Common Shampoo: Water, Amino Methyl Propanol, Dimethicone, Sodium Cumene Sulfonate, Cocamide MEA, Cetearyl Alcohol, Acrylates Crosspolymer, Cocamidopropyl Betainamide, Fragrance, Phenoxyethanol, Capryl Glycol, Glycol Distearate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride Gluten, Orbignya Speciosa Kernel Oil, Glycerin, Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil, Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Citric Acid (may also contain), Sodium Hydroxide (may also contain), Wheat Protein (This product conatins)
Common Conditioner: water, stearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, stearamidopropyl dimethylamine, glutamic acid, fragrance, bis-aminopropyl dimethicone, benzyl alcohol, edta, methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, ecklonia radiata (australian sea kelp) extract, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, aloe barbadensis leaf juice extract.

Now that is just a few of them. But the question is WHAT'S IN YOUR BOTTLES??? Red Dirt Soap Company Products are 100% pure and natural plants oils.

What is Glycerin? And what is the big deal?

Well we all know it's all over the place about the benefits of glycerin soap. But the question is what is glycerin? Well let's dig a little deeper on the subject. Now is where I could get into all the scientific words and such that you might not understand. But I would much rather try and explain in easier terms that anyone can understand. Glycerin is a "by-product" now there is vegetable glycerin and fat glycerin. But lets focus on vegetable glycerin and the reason being that "most" glycerin soap maker use this.

Ok, Vegetable Glycerin is often from coconut or palm oil. Both very beneficial oils for your skin and hair. Now the real question is how do they get glycerin from coconut or palm oil. Well, they do it by heating the oils to super high temperature under pressure with water. What this does is glycerin backbone splits off from the fatty acids, and is absorbed by water, from which is then isolated and distilled to obtain the pure product. Food-grade vegetable glycerin is 99.7% pure with the remainder being water. BUT there is also a non-food grade vegetable glycerin that is a by-product. This is what most glycerin soap makers use in soaps. Mostly because they don't know the difference and its way cheaper and they think "well they're not going to eat it so why buy the better one" But in reality the quality is terrible.

So now for the REAL reason for this post. Red Dirt Soap uses NO glycerin. NONE! Let me explain why. Just like with foods you eat the same go's for things you put on your skin. If you cook something at high temperature you are killing the benefits of the material. So when they cook the coconut or palm oil to make this glycerin they are killing the benefits that the natural oils have in making this by-product. Red Dirt Soap Company uses No by-products. We ONLY use pure raw oils. All of our essentials are only distilled extracted to insure there is no chemicals, an none of the benefits are damaged. Same for our carrier oils they are all naturally extracted raw oils. We do not cook any of our products to a high temperature.

Now don't get me wrong I am not saying glycerin is a terrible product. Because it isn't. But I am trying to show you WHY Red Dirt Soap Company products are better. I mean, think about it. Which is better in nutrients a raw piece of broccoli or steamed? The raw right? And Why is that? Because the steamed killed many of the nutrients. Same with raw carrot or cooked? The list go's on and on. Well the same go's for the nutrients in you skin care products. Using raw, pure ingredients are going to be packed full of 10x the benefits and nutrients as the stuff that has been cooked at high temps.

China is it Organic? Is it safe? A MUST READ!

Here at Red Dirt Soap we are proud to say we do NOT use anything grown in China.

When it comes to anything from China, "organic" beware! There has been lots of research on the issue quite extensively. And the conclusion is that "organic" from China is largely a fraud. Here's why...

You're going to be shocked to learn that there is no limit to how much mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic and aluminum is allowed in "organic" products. USDA organic standards has NO LIMITS on levels of heavy metals contamination of certified organic foods. Even further, there is no limit on the contamination of PCBs, BPA and other synthetic chemicals that's allowed in certified organic foods, superfoods and supplements.

At this point, you're probably shaking your head in disbelief and thinking, "No, that can't be true. Organic standards must check for heavy metals and chemical contamination, right?" Well your wrong. "Organic" certifies a process of how food is grown or produced. Certifies that the farmer doesn't add pesticides, herbicides, petroleum-based fertilizer, metals or synthetic chemicals to the crop (among other things), and that the soil must be free from such things for a certain number of years before organic certification is approved. But organic certification does nothing to address environmental sources of pollution such as chemtrails, contaminated irrigation water, and fallout from industrial or chemical factories that might be nearby. A certified organic farmer can use polluted water on their crops and still have the crops labeled "organic."

For this reason: the environment in which organic foods are produced is critical to the cleanliness of the final product.

Organic farming in a clean environment produces clean, organic foods. But organic farming in a polluted environment produces contaminated organic foods. And China is one of the most polluted chemical cesspools on the planet.

China is a nation that has virtually no environmental regulation enforcement. In China, anything goes: You can dump mercury into rivers. You can spray raw human sewage sludge on crops. You can produce factory-made chemicals and blow the waste products right into the air through smokestacks. In China, many rivers are so toxic that, from time to time, they actually catch on fire and burn.

The water that's often used in "organic" food and superfood production in China. So even though the farmer is following "organic process standards", he may be using irrigation water that's wildly contaminated with metals, chemicals and even pesticide residues. He may be spraying hormone drugs on the crops because there's a pharmaceutical factory upstream.

Some exceptions to this is goji berries are grown at high altitude, far away from the pollution of China's cities and rivers. Goji berries sourced from China tend to be very clean and have very low levels of contamination. There are no doubt other exceptions to the rule, but how do you know what is safe that comes out of China.

In North America, "organic" is legitimate precisely because North America has far more strict environmental standards. Organic is clean food, responsibly produced, and consistently less contaminated than conventional food. The same is true across Europe, where organic standards are also strict. But in China, "organic" is has no ethics and cannot be trusted.

And the laboratory tests bear this out. An investigative story on chlorella showing that "organic" chlorella from China is polluted with nearly ten times the aluminum level of "organic" chlorella from Taiwan. And the cleanest chlorella found in terms of metals contamination was actually a non-organic chlorella produced in Korea.

China is a communist regime. It is a country where all religion has been outlawed and the people are never taught ethics or morality. They have no moral compass. Across China, the majority of the population believes that the best way to get ahead is to CHEAT, lie and steal, even if it means harming someone else in the process.

China is the country where they put melamine in infant formula, knowing that it will kill little children. China is the country where the paint on children's toys contains obscene levels of brain-damaging lead. China is a nation of shortcut-takers who will do anything to cheapen a product as long as they can cover it up and trick the buyer. This is why there has always been the little chuckle when something breaks and you discover it's "made in China" has, for decades. If you buy pet treats made in China, you are murdering your pet with the most insane chemicals imaginable. The stuff that goes into some pet treats made in China is highly toxic and causes cancer. This is one of the main factors behind the alarming rise of cancers among dogs and cats in North America.

Now, of course, there are people in China who rebel against all this. There are exceptions to the rule, and there may even be some honest organic food producers in China that buck the trend. Not all mainland Chinese are bad people. Many wish to overthrow the corrupt government and restore freedom, liberty and justice to the country. But because they are all disarmed (China has no Bill of Rights), they are powerless against a dictatorial government. They are slaves to the system.

Chinese medicine herbs from China are notoriously contaminated with lead. The same is true for green tea and many other ingredients that naturally absorb heavy metals.

China has virtually no environmental enforcement whatsoever, the very idea that something grown in China can be certified "organic" is absurd. So why do so many formulators and food companies in the USA still buy ingredients from China? Because they're CHEAP.Buying from China means higher profit. Raw materials from China are cheap! Across the board, raw materials (foods, superfoods, supplements) from China are about 1/4th the cost of materials grown in North America or Europe. This means getting your ingredients from China grants your product a lot more profit in the marketplace. For those selling through Whole Foods -- whose product shelves are littered with ingredients made in China -- this profit margin is essential to economic survival.

The very idea of "organic" coming out of China is a disturbing contradiction. And organic standards have a huge gap in the fact that they don't require foods to actually be free from mercury or other contaminants. Overall, organic is a wonderful standard, but when a "USDA organic" label is slapped on a product grown in China, you really have to scratch your head and say, "Yeah, it might be organic, but is it clean?" It may be, but you just don't know until you test it. "Organic" grown in the USA can be assumed to be clean, but organic grown in China must be assumed contaminated unless proven otherwise.

Until China enforces some really strict environmental standards, "organic" from China you should use extreme caution. You can lie to yourself and say, "Well it's ORGANIC so it must be clean!" but you'll be swallowing mercury, lead, pesticides and other synthetic chemicals in various amounts. If you buy "organic" foods, superfoods or supplements grown in China, you need to know about this.

A recent government study found that groundwater in 90% of China's cities is contaminated, most of it severely. The head of China's ministry of water resources said last year that up to 40% of the country's rivers are "seriously polluted", and an official report from last summer found that up to 200 million rural Chinese have no access to clean drinking water.

The country has polluted itself far beyond the point of long-term sustainable life. Children are being born as mutants. Rivers support no fish life. Soils are building up obscene levels of contaminants and becoming so toxic that crop yields are affected. Cities are so filled with airborne pollution that the mere act of breathing causes cancer. And on top of that, China's one-child policy has resulted in mass gendercide where baby girls are routinely -- and yes, I mean ROUTINELY -- murdered, drowned, suffocated, etc., because the family wants a son, not a daughter.

China has a terminal environmental crisis on its hands, compounded by an eternally corrupt, dictatorial communist regime government that oppresses freedom and outlaws religion while forcing families to kill their own baby girls under its population control mandates.
