Magnesium bath salts are bath salts made with 100% magnesium chloride, not salt. It is the second most abundant mineral component contained in seawater and is the main component of bittern. It is colorless and odorless, and the water is mellow. In Europe and the United States, magnesium has been commonly used as a bath salt. Conventional magnesium chloride is more than doubled in Japan. It is characterized by the fact that it can be used in a smaller amount than Epsom salt. < how to use it> When bathing, put 1 heaping spoon (about 25g) in the bathtub with the attached spoon, mix well, and then take a bath for about 15 minutes. If the bathtub is large, it is a good idea to add one more cup. There is no need for hot water. < What is magnesium? > Each of the essential minerals necessary for the human body has an important function for the human body, and magnesium is said to be an "anti-aging mineral". It increases the formation, flexibility, and elasticity of bones and teeth, as well as reduces nerve excitation. It has the role of controlling the action of calcium and regulating muscle contraction and relaxation. In addition, it moderately regulates blood pressure and has an anti-arteriosclerotic effect. Foods that contain magnesium include brown rice, whole-grain bread, Mr./Ms. noodles, bananas, and almonds. Even if you eat foods that are full of magnesium, you will not get too much magnesium. This is because the body can only absorb about 30~40% of the magnesium contained in food. If there is no problem with kidney function, the excess magnesium is excreted as urine. However, it should be noted that if magnesium is taken orally, it can cause diarrhea and stomach pain.

In addition, soaking in hot water for a long time can deprive you of sebum, which can cause dryness. Magnesium bath salts are salt-free, so they can be used by people with sensitive skin. In addition, magnesium is a mineral necessary for the synthesis of ceramides, which play an important role in the barrier function of the skin, and hot water makes the skin feel mellow. 2. Those who want to supplement with magnesium Due to the spread of refined processed foods, it is said that many modern people get only about half of the magnesium they need per day. If you can't get rid of fatigue, or if your muscles twitch or twitch, you may be deficient in magnesium. If you have high blood pressure, low levels of vitamin D, osteoporosis, or headaches, you may also be deficient in magnesium. 3. Those who are sensitive to cold Although it varies from person to person, some people feel a sustained warmth after sweating and bathing. If you don't notice much of a difference, try increasing the amount and adjusting the amount to suit you.
