Words by Abby Blanke
If you are suffering from tight muscles or spasms, using a magnesium spray can help reduce your symptoms and relieve pain.
Did you know that up to 40 per cent of the general population are in some way magnesium deficient?
Lifestyle stresses and high alcohol, caffeine and sugar consumption can create magnesium deficiencies.
Magnesium deficiency can be linked to a whole range of health concerns, including:
anxiety
depression
insomnia
muscle spasms and tightness.
You can increase your intake of magnesium through foods such as avocado, flaxseed, tuna and green leafy vegetables, but you might need a little extra help especially if you are experiencing muscle tightness, cramps and general tiredness.
It’s why we recommend adding a little magnesium to your massage at Serenity Skin Spa.
At home, I love using magnesium sprays as I find it the easiest way and quickest to gain relief when I am experiencing soreness. I spray magnesium on sore areas and use a heat pack to help with absorption.
I also love to add some spray into a bath if I’m feeling particularly tight. It can create a little tingly sensation when first used but can help you to have a great night’s sleep. And we all know that when we sleep well, our bodies can heal themselves better.
