Many would have longed to calm our nervous irritability. Many of you suffer from body pain and aches. Hey folks I can suggest you a remedy for these problems. The remedy will also boost your immunity; uplift your spirits and helps in maintaining functional and structural integrity of heart muscles. The remedy is Ancient Minerals Magnesium products.
Product Features
Ancient Minerals Magnesium products are magnesium chloride along with trace minerals. It is taken from the Ancient Zechstein Seabed which is said to be a geological formation in Northern Europe from the Late Permian Era and remained untouched for real long long years… to be exact not less than 250 years and thus the purest form of magnesium available. This fact made me to try the product for the first time.
This review is to make you know about the pros and cons of the product and not about the efficiency of magnesium as a healing and soothing mineral because studies had undoubtedly confirmed its miraculous healing power .Magnesium is termed as ‘Beautiful Mineral’ in the old medical text books on Chinese Medicine.

Product Performance
Be it gel or oil or flakes they have succeeded to a great extend in bringing up a better well being of a person.
Having found that a bath in ancient magnesium bath flakes or an application of Ancient Magnesium Oil could uplift my mood I could use Magnesium therapy along with other Naturopathy and Yogic methods of healing for my patients who were suffering from depression, stress and insomnia. I could get fairly good results in their treatment. The recovery was faster compared to a group who were treated with yoga, meditation, and diet and chromo therapy.
But in insomnia patients and hyperthyroidism and mild nervous irritation patients the effects was more promising. The mineral products could enhance their well being, ensure good sleep and make nervous patients relax better.
Magnesium is a macro mineral which means a good amount of magnesium is needed for the body to carry out various vital body functions. Deficiency of which could lead to many diseases, from sleeplessness to nervous irritability.
Ancient mineral magnesium oil is available in a convenient spray and this ensures easy application and the oil is rapidly absorbed in to the skin. Convenience in application is the major property of this form of Ancient Minerals Magnesium products. Its rapid absorption is also another important factor. It does provide a good amount of elemental Magnesium in a single tsp- i.e. 560mg.
Ancient mineral magnesium gel will make the skin soft with a healthy glow. It’s a combination of pure magnesium salts and organic aloe vera extract. Apart from all the benefits magnesium has to offer, this gel will serve the purpose of a good moisturizer due to the aloe vera content. Out of 10 patients 4 could get great relief from psoriasis. For the rest the skin flakiness were found to decrease.
People who suffer from very severe skin rashes and allergic conditions can better avoid the oil spray and they can go for the gel .the reason is that in the gel form, the concentrated magnesium mineral is well blended with organic aloe vera for the comfort of the patients. It provides a lesser dose of magnesium, 490 mg per tsp. so it’s safer to use on psoriasis and other eczema conditions.
Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages
- As there is a ‘skin saturation’ level, you don’t have to be afraid of excess magnesium in the body.
- Bath flakes are highly economical. But I suggest being in the bath tub for not less than 15 minutes.
- Any form of application is proved good for insomnia patients. It’s a real boon for those who struggle to get a good night sleep.
- Psoriasis condition can be brought under control comparatively faster with magnesium therapy. That too the Ancient Mineral Magnesium Gel is found to do better in the cure.
- People suffering from cluster headaches, migraine, vascular head ache has to go for hot foot immersion using the magnesium flakes not less than 20 minutes. Do this every day continuously for 3days. Continue immersion every alternate day for 2 months. Later on you can go for thrice a week.
- Gel is having cosmetic effect. It serves the purpose of a moisturizer too.
- Tropical application is easy, convenient and effective at the same time.
Disadvantages
- Oil spray might induce slight burning sensation in many cases when applied on the skin of patients suffering from skin rashes. The burning sensation or in some tingling sensation might reduce with recurrent applications.
- Totally avoid gel or oil application over skin affected with Miliaria / sweat rash. You can go for magnesium bath flakes.
- Oils and sprays need not to be used for children below 10 years of age. Bath flakes are an excellent choice to calm down even the hyperactive kids provided they remain in bath for some time.
- The gel may not be fully absorbed into the skin. The makers didn’t claim that either.
Remarks
I repeat this review was not to discuss if magnesium is having any healing powers or not. It’s an undoubtedly proven fact that magnesium is absolutely a Beauty mineral as referred in old Chinese medical texts due to its immense healing powers and maintaining a healthy body homeostasis.
Bath flakes are highly cost effective.
Gel and oil might be costly but compared to the careful, unadulterated way of extracting the mineral from a seabed I can say the Ancient Mineral Magnesium products price range is quite fair.
In a comparatively short span of study I couldn’t make out that the Ancient Mineral Magnesium products do have any influence on hormonal level as the product claims. Studies will be carried out and the results if it can make a change or not will be shared with my readers shortly.
The curiosity to try a product which is natural and pure and which took 250 years to form has ultimately gifted me one more therapy among my holistic system of medicine based treatments and my patients too will be getting its benefit.
