The Most Essential Mineral
Magnesium is in short supply in the soils of countries that are using NPK fertiliser chemical farming methods. Australia however tops the list in the world when it comes to magnesium deficient soils - even without accounting for farming methods. If there's not enough magnesium in the soil, there's not enough in the plants that are grown in it. Processing methods can further deplete magnesium in foods.
Magnesium is a fundamental co-factor to other nutrients (such as calcium). It is vital to our energy, metabolic processes, bone health, immune system and heart health. It also helps to buffer the body from the adverse effects of toxins. When the body has sufficient magnesium available it can eliminate waste products, heavy metals and other toxins more efficiently. It is magnesium that pairs with calcium to take it into the bones. Without sufficient magnesium the excess calcium is deposited in the soft tissue and joints where it 'calcifies' or hardens - a sign of premature ageing. Too much calcium can increase the risk of kidney stones, cataracts, artheriosclerosis, arthritis and joint problems.
"Magnesium is nothing short of a miracle mineral in its healing effect on a wide range of diseases, as well as in its ability to rejuvenate the ageing body. We know that it is essential for many enzyme reactions, especially in regard to cellular energy production, for the health of the brain and nervous system and also for healthy teeth and bones. However, it may come as a surprise that in the form of magnesium chloride it is also an impressive infection fighter."

Transdermal Absorption
Magnesium supplementation transdermally (through the skin) is gentle and effective. It doesn't irritate the bowel as with oral ingestion.Transdermal absorption of magnesium chloride can be up to 12 times faster than absorption through the gut with oral supplementation.
Magnesium is consumed by the body daily - and in higher quantities when you are under stress (emotional or physical). Ensure you have access to magnesium on the skin every day, and let your body take what it needs.
Cleansing and Detox
Magnesium is an antagonist to fluoride. If magnesium is in short supply the fluoride will bind with the small amount of magnesium there is and cause it to be excreted in the urine. The fluoride will then occupy sites in the bones that the magnesium should be occupying. It is therefore vital to make sure your body has ample supply of magnesium to counteract the toxic effects of fluoride and other toxins that may inadvertently be ingested from food, water or pharmaceuticals. (Note: Professor Paul Connett advises drinking filtered water and beverages without fluoride (www.fluoridealert.org) Fluoride inhibits enzyme activity, whereas magnesium supports enzyme activity. Read about the relationship between fluoride and magnesium in Mark Sircus' book - Transdermal Magnesium Therapy.
Counteract Acidity... Magnesium Chloride is pH 7.0 (neutral) in solution.
Magnesium Calms the Nerves, Relaxes the Muscles, Promotes Good Sleep
It is the single most important mineral for maintaining proper electrical balance, facilitating smooth cell metabolism and stabilising membranes. If magnesium levels are low, the nerves loose control over muscle activity, respiration and mental processes. Nervous fatigue, tics and twitches, tremors, irritability, hypersensitivity, muscle spasms, restlessness, anxiety, confusion, disorientation and irregular heartbeat all respond to increase magnesium intake.

• Body Spray (suggested heaped teaspoon per 350ml)
• Mouthwash (suggested heaped teaspoon per 350ml)
• Compress for Sprains and Swelling
• Moisturizer Blend... Recipe: Dissolve 75g magnesium chloride hexahydrate flakes in 100ml pure water and gradually pour into 400g natural moisturiser body butter (ie. no artifical chemical additives) whilst beating/stirring until fully blended.
Notes:Use pure water to dissolve Elektra Magnesium for mouthwash, body spray, moisturizer and compress. If your bath water is fluoridated and unfiltered then add a little extra magnesium salts. For therapeutic use, higher concentrations may be required. Please refer to your health practitioner.
Caution: Avoid direct contact with eyes and sensitive areas when undiluted. If you experience slight stinging sensation, simply dilute further with water.
