Guest guest Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Diane, I'm not diabetic so I can't speak to that. But, I've had skin itchiness and sensitivities all my life, so I was very concerned about the mag oil because of such reports. I found that any burning or prickly sensation quickly subsides, and that my skin gets used to it and it doesn't feel that way anymore. I didn't do anything like put it all over my body or anything crazy. I started with some on the inside of one wrist, then the other, then my lower legs. Thinner skin that is more sheltered from the sun is more reactive, it seems to me. I have put it on my face (in the form with the aloe vera in it) and it feels wonderful, but it's not a moisturizer per se. I still need to use something to keep hydrated. They call it an oil because it feels slick like an oil, but it isn't. It soaks in, if you wash your hands afterward the oily feeling is gone with just water and no soap. It doesn't stain bedding or anything that I can tell. I think the oil might be a bit pricey for the bath. REmember that epsom salts is a magnesium source and is recommended for baths. High probability-- I'm sensitive to a lot of things, and I rapidly acclimated to the mag oil sensations. So I would tend to say that if I acclimate quickly, a lot of people will. But of course there is no way to know until you try it. hope this helps. -- >i was going to order the oil, but i am diabetic and when i have issues it >is with my skin. i think i remember reading that the oil can burn a >little? or feel warm? do you think there is a high probability of skin >problems with the oil? i was thinking of using it in the tub. also, does >it feel like oil? would it be good for dry skin? or is it a different >texture? thanks >diane, near philly, pa ~~~ There is no way to peace; peace is the way ~~~~ --A.J.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 I use the mag oil from ancient minerals...it too dries my skin. I actually think it caused me to get " eczema " on my shins since that's the first place I was spraying it.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Well, ok but I saw some instructions for the mag oil that said not to put any oil on your skin before using the mag, because the oil would tend to block the absorption of magnesium. So I would be concerned that the coconut oil would block absorption of the magnesium with this method. I'm huge on coconut oil, it's wonderful. Just confused about this mixture and use. -- >I made my own magnesium cream and it doesn't itch at all.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Absolutely no-- soaking in epsom salts nor mag oil will not take the place of sea salt internally. Steph once said that each spray of mag oil is about 20mg, so as I apply it I'm counting how many sprays I use. Of course, different spray bottles distribute different amounts each spray, but I'm using a spray bottle made by the Ancient Minerals folks so I reckon I'm getting the 20mg sprays.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 I would think they would be very compatible since coconut oil also penetrates the skin for healing. One needs to rub it for a longer time for this to happen, per Bruce Fife's recommendations. Its worth a try.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 From my research mag. sulfate (epsom salts) are very easily absorbed through the skin. I still take magnesium supplements in addition to the homemade mag lotion, but I'm convinced that this homemade lotion helps too because it's very soothing. My son just finshed 3 years of chemotherapy for leukemia. Without a doubt his recovery from each weekly chemo was much faster and easier if we used this mag lotion. Check out the website below. It explains how epsom salt helps with detoxification and they have directions for making your own mag oil, lotion, spray, etc. http://www.enzymestuff.com/epsomsalts.htm From: david kenna <davidjohnkenna@...>iodine Sent: Sat, March 20, 2010 12:21:19 PMSubject: Re: Re: Becoming hyperthyroid a sign of sufficiency?

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 I don't see why this can not work. The only issue is what you use as a cream base. There are some creams that literally sit on your skin and are not absorbed so I would imagine would slow the absorption of the magnesium. I also find magnesium oil difficult and unfortunately only use it now when I run out of epsom salts for my bath.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 I use Ancient Minerals too. Initially it made skin feel dry even saw a whitish residue. However as you keep on using it & arms just before bedtime. never washed it off. Initially had burning & itching so diluted with distilled water 75%/Oil 25%, gradually went to 50/50 then 25/75 finally 100% oil. I have had real benefits from using the oil. Need much less rx potassium & Florinef than I used to. I couldnt use ANY oral Mag for many years. Finally found one I could use (a mix of good absorbable forms) but is very expensive & slow to replentish low levels that way. Plus there are 4 of us needing it. mag Oil is much more cost effective.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Second try seems half my reply disappeared? I use Ancient Minerals too. Initially it made skin feel dry even saw a whitish residue. However as you keep on using it skin got really soft. I applied to my legs & arms just before bedtime. Never washed it off. Initially I did have some burning & itching so I diluted with distilled water (as suggested by them) water 75%/Oil 25%, gradually went to 50/50 then 25% water/75% Oil & finally 100% Oil. I have had real benefits from using the oil. Need much less rx Potassium & Florinef than I used to. And thats through the hottest & driest Summer on record in West Australia!!! I couldnt use ANY oral Mag for many years without losing control of bowel function. Finally found one I could use (a mix of good absorbable forms) but is very expensive & slow to replentish low levels that way. Plus there are 4 of us needing it. Mag Oil is much more cost effective. I am wary of magnesium Sulphate. First because those with mercury issues have problems with Sulphates. Second I read that Epson Salts/Mag Sulphate often has Aluminium in it.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Some other ideas that I have used, Epson salts/ Vingear or Epson Salts or Baking soda in the bath ( 1 cup of each) You can even use a little Lavander oil for calming. Magnesium is really helpful and important for your entire nervous system. If taken orally it can cause loose stools, but taken in smaller doses its not has bad, and if taken at bedtime usually will not have the action on stoolls until morning.
