Magnesium, is the 4th common mineral found in the human body. It is essential for over 350 vital functions in the body and over 2000 secondary functions.
Magnesium is primarily responsible for muscle contraction and relaxation, heart regulation and function, nerve and blood support / distribution, and is involved with the breakdown of sugar in the body.
Many people who are deficient in magnesium may experience cramps, high or low blood pressure, difficulty sleeping, low energy, mood challenges, and sugar cravings to name a few.
Magnesium chloride is involved in cell wall integrity, meaning a lack of magnesium results in nutrients and minerals not being able to get into the cells and toxins being unable to leave.
“Magnesium is now becoming a big revolution in natural health as industrialised societies suffer more and more under stress and are looking for ways to compensate without relying on drugs or surgery. Transdermal absorption of magnesium salts is the best way to absorb magnesium, as no digestion of tablets is required”

The cream and oil spritz act as a fast anti-inflammatory/pain killer, especially for muscles!
Natural, chemical free products are essential in my option, so I chose carefully when selecting a Magnesium source.
Elektra use organic, chemical free, food grade Magnesium Chloride (Chloride is the most readily available source of magnesium for the body) containing essential oils for different nutritional properties, and shea butter in the creams – a high fat substance, essential for the healthy functioning of cells in the body.
Magnesium Chloride is the most readily taken up mineral by the body – as opposed to magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts). Anything taken orally has to be digested.
Topical products such as oils, creams and flakes require no digestion and are easily absorbed through the blood vessels under the skin, like tree roots absorbing minerals from the soil.
The largest organ on the human body, the skin, regulates the uptake of magnesium more easily than when taken orally, digested through the gut. The body absorbs what is needed through the tiny capillaries of the dermis under the skin and is self-regulating.
Products can be purchased during the session or arranged for pick-up at the studio outside of sessions.
