Sore Muscle Support Magnesium Lotion

I developed the formula for my Sore Muscle Blend Magnesium Lotion when my sister called me up to say, “Do you think you could come up with something for our brother’s charlie horses? I heard topical magnesium can help.” Little did she know I was in the midst of working something up for my own needs following a conversation I had with my primary care where she recommended I try topical magnesium. I am very familiar with the kind of leg cramps I was dealing with as I grew up witnessing our dad suffering from the “flying out of bed at 3am screeching in pain,” variety. Some folks find topical magnesium causes some temporary skin discomfort, especially when applied as a standalone spray and my research concluded that blending into a lotion often made a big difference. I set to work customizing an oil blend for the base of my lotion, and I chose herbs to both relax spasmodic muscles and ease tension from overuse (Hops, Arnica, Lavender, & Mugwort), with a little Rosemary to help promote circulation. Kami McBride also touts mugwort as a “driver herb,” meaning it plays a role in facilitating deeper penetration of the other herbs into the tissues. I blend my potent infused oils with magnesium oil (magnesium chloride), and a touch of certified organic shea butter for both consistency as well as counteracting the sometimes drying effects of the magnesium.

All the benefits of topical magnesium with:

• Potent herb-infused oils blended to promote relief from muscle spasms
• Shea butter to balance out the drying effects of the magnesium
• Available in a 4oz reusable glass jar
• Made with organic ingredients
• No fragrances or essential oils added

Handcrafted in small batches from carefully sourced ingredients. I take a blend of my signature body oils customized for sore & spasmodic muscles, and blend it with a magnesium chloride brine, some organic shea butter, and a touch of organic/local beeswax for an easy-to-apply lotion.

Try this Sore Muscle Blend Magnesium Lotion before bed after a day of above-average physical activity to help combat muscle soreness and promote sleep.
