HEMPORIUM

MAGNESIUM BATHING FOR MUSCLE RELAXATION, DETOXIFICATION AND BETTER SLEEP

When you have had a really grueling day, you are super exhausted and there is nothing left in the tank, relax and let all your cares go away in a magnesium chloride bath soak. Soaking with ELEKTRA™ Magnesium Flakes can deliver conservatively 300-400mg of elemental magnesium to the epidermis over half an hour via a natural and passive trans-membrane electrolyte exchange.

In addition to absorbing magnesium quickly via skin, magnesium soaks can also release metabolic wastes and toxins, so you get an extra bonus detox benefit. For those carrying a heavy toxic load it is best to do frequent magnesium soaking – especially in the first month. Excreting wastes via skin lifts the load on what the liver has to process.

Full body bathing offers extra therapeutic benefits from the hot water, as circulation is stimulated and helps to transport magnesium further around the body. The heat in combination with magnesium is wonderfully soothing for tired stiff muscles and joints.

The feet are particularly good at both taking up magnesium and also releasing toxins from the body. This is why the Japanese have traditionally focused a lot on mineral water bathing (also traditionally called balneotherapy), footsoaking and detoxification via feet. You can soak more conveniently and more often with simple footsoaks, using much less water. 

Directions for Use: Use one cup Magnesium Flakes per standard bath (or tablespoon per footsoak), or twice as much if recovering from an illness or injury. Soak for half an hour. After towelling dry, finish with Magnesium Cream moisturiser to replenish lost oils and skin barrier protection. It’s a great way to help your skin maintain hydration and elasticity so you can stay looking younger longer!

A note of caution about hot baths to those with high blood pressure or dehydration:  If the bath is too hot for those with hypertension and dehydration, the body can release excessive adrenalin which pushes the heart to work harder.  Adrenalin is also dehydrating, which can exacerbate the hypertension. Stress pushes blood pressure upwards.  But extra hydration (ie. drink lots of magnesium mineral water) alleviates this issue. Don’t have the heat turned up higher than tolerance level.  Listen to your body and do what feels comfortable and relaxing. With regular practice your body becomes more accustomed to this process, making it a great pleasure with super relaxation and better sleep rewards.

ELECTROLYTE CHARGED DRINKING WATER FOR BETTER HYDRATION

Directions for Use: Add one pinch flakes (half a gram in weight) per 1 litre of water = 80mg elemental magnesium. Natural spring waters from around the world tend to have between 30mg and 130mg elemental magnesium concentration, so this mix mimics what would be in spring water.

The water tastes and works better due to 7 pH electrical charge of magnesium water, compared to demineralised reverse-osmosis filterd water or rain water, which typically has an acidic pH (positive charge) of 6.5pH. The acidic water runs through the digestive system too quickly without necessarily hydrating the tissue cells adequately. The other problem with acidic water is that it can leach minerals out of the bones as it passes through the body.

Magnesium drinking water makes the water more hydrating for cells and allows for a better electrical conductivity, as well as cleansing and flushing of wastes.

Adding one pinch (1/2 gram) magnesium flakes to a one litre demineralised water of 6 or 6.5pH lifts the pH to neutral. If you would like to lift the pH to 8 then simply add a tiny amount (about 1/8th teaspoon) of sodium bicarbonate to the litre of magnesium water. For optimal benefit the best range for mineral water is 7-8 pH.

MAKE MAGNESIUM MOUTHWASH FOR DENTAL HYGIENE USING MAGNESIUM FLAKES

Directions for Use: If you don’t want to have to buy expensive mouthwash containing chemicals and alcohol anymore, then try magnesium mouthwash that you can make at home. It’s all natural and has no added chemicals, alcohol or artificial colours and flavors. Just add one teaspoon of Elektra Magnesium food grade magnesium chloride flakes to 250-300mL water (adjust according to taste) and shake or stir until all dissolved.

This makes about a month worth of mouthwash for just a few cents. It tastes a bit bitter at this concentration, (and works as a laxative if swallowed). It is alkalizing and mineralizing, leaving the mouth feeling refreshed. Swish one mouthful around the teeth and gums after brushing and rinsing your teeth.

Where do Elektra Magnesium Chloride Flakes (FOOD GRADE) come from? 

The salt water is harvested from a remote pristine mountain lake 3,000m above sea level in the Tibetan plateau, by siphoning off (not via extraction mining of the mountain) and piping to evaporation tanks where the salt water is transformed into a thick salt slurry called ‘bischofite’. During dehydration sodium chloride rises to the top and is skimmed off to make table salt. The process of sodium removal is repeated a number of times until the remainder slurry of salt brine (approximately 15%) comprises 97-98% magnesium chloride hexahydrate.  Pure magnesium chloride makes up 47-48% of this brine, with about 2% being a collection of other remaining sea trace minerals like potassium, iron, calcium, boron etc. The remainder is made up of crystalised water molecules in a six sided (hexagonal) structure, that is the ‘hexahydrate’ part.  

Elektra Magnesium Flakes are certified food grade and also independently lab-tested in Australia to confirm there is no lead nor mercury are present.  There is approximately 150-160mg of elemental magnesium per one gram of flakes. One pinch of flakes (ie. half a gram) added to a litre of filtered water mimics natural spring waters, providing about 75-80mg of elemental magnesium.
