Why Magnesium?

Magnesium is an essential mineral that supports over 300 functions in the body. When used topically, it can help:

• Relieve muscle soreness and tightness
• Soothe tension headaches
• Calm cramps and hormone-related discomfort
• Support better sleep and relaxation
• Reduce feelings of stress and anxiety
• Relax restless legs and overworked feet

If you’re feeling achy, tense, or burnt out, magnesium can help your body reset.

 

DIY Magnesium Balm Recipe

Ingredients
2 tablespoons shea butter
4 tablespoons coconut oil
5 tablespoons beeswax
4 tablespoons Roots and Remedies Magnesium Spray
2 tablespoons avocado oil

Directions

Melt the shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax in a double boiler over low heat. Stir until fully melted and smooth.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly. The mixture should still be liquid.

Stir in the magnesium spray, avocado oil, and lavender essential oil until well combined.

Pour into a clean glass jar or tin. Let cool completely before sealing.

Store in a cool, dry place.

 

How to Use It

Massage a small amount onto:

• Temples and forehead to ease headaches

• Lower belly to soothe cramps
• Bottoms of feet before bed to relax the body
• Any sore or tight muscles in need of relief

Use it daily or as needed to support stress relief, muscle recovery, and restful sleep.
