Applying Magnesium

[Roger B]

My magnesium application knowledge and techniques have evolved.

First, climate counts. The humidity and temperature will affect how you apply your magnesium. In Summer, even though I am not overtly sweating, the applied magnesium oil will stay wet on my skin for even perhaps an hour or more. In Winter, even though I don't feel cold, the magnesium oil will dry in as soon as 10 minutes. I live in a very dry climate. This also has molded my choices regarding applying magnesium.

I fill a large, wide-mouthed jar up with flakes, completely, to the top. Then I pour in the water up to the top. The flakes will collapse and fall to the bottom since they are absorbing water and there is plenty of space between the flakes. Then I put the jar in the microwave. I do this partly because the water is cold and it is no fun painting one's body with cold water. It also helps the water to absorb more magnesium chloride. This sounds involved, but it is really very quick and simple. Now my magnesium chloride water is at it's very maximum concentration. With magnesium flakes still in the bottom of the jar, there can be no greater concentration, and concentration is good. So it is very oily. And I love it.

I paint. I have a spray bottle that I use only after the painted magnesium has dried. I get a snowy dusting of magnesium when it dries/is absorbed, so I only use the spray bottle when I want to refresh the wetness so that I can absorb some more.

My family is hoping that this is just another Roger fad, something that I will discard in the future. They don't realize that it takes the pain AWAY. Although I might not do it so much if I figure out how to retain my magnesium a little better than I do. The Vitamin Bs have helped a lot with that, and I am developing a taste for my wife's yam daily fun, which is loaded with potassium. Yams are in fact the best potassium source.

Roger I love you. You are as much of a nut as I am.

Two days ago I tried this:
Put one tablespoon of magnesium chloride flakes in both rather thick
socks and had this for a day in not very well ventilating shoes.
The flakes soon are less hard than they seem to be, are dissolved and
obviously (soft stool) absorbed.
After two days, I can't say what this does to shoes, though..
