Re: Magnesium Oil Stings?

walden,

Thx for the tips. I was scratching myself so badly that I was getting rashes and little bumps on some areas. I guess those are the heavy build-ups.

I've been spraying the oil twice a day. Once in the morning and once after bath/shower. Now, I know I should do it before shower. If you do a magnesium bath, do you usually take a vigorous shower to wipe off the mineral afterwards?

I didn't order the flakes, just the oil to start the experiment with. I'm going to try adding 2oz of Mg oil to the bath and gradually work myself up to 6oz. Hopefully, now with the new tips you gave me, it won't irritate my skin as much.

I also want to try the foot soak, in addition to the twice a day spray and the bath. I'm worry if I'm doing too much. Do you know if one can overdose on Magnesium oil? I know that you CANNOT OD on oral magnesium, the body can only absorb that much and pooh out the rest. As for trandermal application, where does the excess go?
