Magnesium Oil and Magnesium Oil deodorant

 Making some Magnesium Oil and Magnesium Oil Deodorant

Just water and magnesium flakes

Watching Youtube videos I have found how beneficial magnesium is to humans. One easy way to increase magnesium levels is to put on your skin and absorb transdermally. Research suggests that magnesium is absorbed much more effectively transdermally, with studies proving that levels are boosted after topical application  Magnesium is essential for proper nerve function, producing cellular energy, heart, regulating blood pressure. Deficiency is linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis.  So in my opinion I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. 

I have no idea why they call it magnesium oil because its not an oil at all.  You dissolve magnesium flakes in water and can then spray on skin. Sometimes it can cause itching but you can counter act that by applying lotion or castor oil etc on skin first then putting the magesium oil on over top of that. It will slow down the rate of absorption which seems to be what causes the itching.  Magnesium oil can be crazy expensive but is so cheap and easy to make on your own so I don't know why everyone doesn't do it.

Magesium oil

1 cup of magnesium chloride flakes 

1 cup hot distilled or purified water

optional- add 30 drops of essential oil in your favorite scent

    Mix the magnesium and the water in a glass jar. Stir with either a wood or silicon stirrer (magnesium reacts to metal). Keep stirring until completely dissolved. If you want it thicker you can add more magnesium flakes. Put in a spray bottle and apply to legs, your feet, stomach etc.  Because I am using my part of my oil to make deodorant I am not adding scent at this time. 

ready to mix the deodorant

Magnesium oil Deodorant (lasts about 6 months)

1/2 cup magnesium oil

10 drops tea tree oil (antibaterial)

10 drops of vanilla essential oil (you can use whatever scent you want or none)

    Mix everything up in a bottle and shake. I bought these roller bottles to put mine in. You can also spray it on but let's face it, I would get that everywhere.  Shake well before each use. Put on clean dry pits. Magnesium doesn't stop you from sweating but it does remove the odor. Some people say that it can sting if you have recently shaved. I haven't shaved that recently (lol) and didn't have any issues, no stinging or itching.

It's only a small step but at least now I am not using a deodorant with chemicals I can't even pronounce. 

It's been ages since I have posted

 Life has just kept going so fast and I haven't blogged in ages. Mostly I feel depressed because of not being able to walk well because my knees are shot. I need to lose weight so I can get knee replacement. My doctor put me on Ozempic for weight loss but it didn't help at all. I didn't lose any weight and it just made me feel awful. My stomach had a lot of gas issues and so much pain. Finally after getting up to the 2.0 dose and it still not helping I decided to quit. There was no sense continuing to take the shot and it not doing anything to help and only causing me stomach issues. 

Yesterday, my daughter and I vacuum sealed 6 quart jars of self rising flour. Prices on everything keep going up and I figured I needed to do what I can to save money so we don't all end up starving to death. With flour at least you can make biscuits and gravy. It might not be the healthiest meal but at least you can fill your stomach with some food. 

WV is in the middle of a drought throughout the whole state. I think every county has a burn ban on. It did rain a bit yesterday but we need way way more. Some places are even restricting water usage. 

Once Again a Life Flip

 So many thing have happened to me since I last posted. I won't waste your time going over them all but they left me questioning a lot of my life choices. As a result of some self reflection I have made the change to return to being Pagan. I am not Wiccan but more of an eclectic belief system. I am doing what works for my life and own peace. I follow a herbal cottage paganist belief system. I have always been deeply connected to an herbal lifestyle. I have always thought that every illness had a natural cure it was just a matter of finding that cure.  My personal feelings are that drs are in the business of creating customers not cures. I look to find a vitamin or herb first.

 My Thoughts

I have heard of Rebecca St James and King + Country before but didn't know they were out of the same family.  Even if you don't like gospel music this is a great family movie. I loved this movie. The strength of the mother and how the family all worked together and is still working together is wonderful to see. I loved how much the mom supported her husband and the children at the same time. Also it was nice to see Jonathan Jackson in the movie although I didn't recognized him until I saw his name in the credits, I will forever remember him as Lucky Spence on General Hospital back in the day.
