“Our family uses the magnesium ointment every night to help us sleep, and to calm our children.”

Magnesium is essential for all of us. It supports 300 enzyme reactions in the body but is not retained and is actually released through urine. It is not a trace mineral but needed in large amounts for our bones, muscles, blood vessels, our hearts, for normal sleep, and for the production of energy.

It is thought that because of the stresses of modern life; up to half of us may be deficient in magnesium, leading to both physical and psychological symptoms:

Physical

  • Muscle spasms and tightness
  • Tremors
  • Menstrual cramps
  • Constipation
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Heart palpitations

Psychological

  • Insomnia or sleep disturbances
  • Low mood
  • Anxiety
  • Irritability

Use our magnesium ointment to help if you suffer with any of these symptoms.

Suggested Use

Your body uses magnesium most efficiently when applied to the skin. 

For adults: Rub approximately half a teaspoon into the sole of each foot before bed, for children under 9 years and over 12 months old you can use around a quarter of a teaspoon. This can also be supplemented by rubbing into the forehead/temples for a headache and directly into any aching or cramping muscles and joints.

Always listen to your body - if the skin is uncomfortable after use - discontinue. 

If you have a pre-existing medical condition its always worth checking with your GP or health professional before use.

Aids Sleep

The combination of magnesium and lavender helps relax your muscles and calm your mind, making it easier to drift off to sleep.

As your body absorbs the magnesium, it eases tension and supports a deeper, more restful night’s sleep.

Calms Anxiety

Magnesium plays a key role in regulating neurotransmitters like GABA, which help calm the nervous system, while lavender’s active compounds, such as linalool, have been shown to reduce sympathetic nervous system activity.

Together, they help lower physiological stress responses and promote a state of mental relaxation.

Relieves Restlessness

Magnesium helps relax muscles and regulate nerve signals, easing the physical tension that can cause restlessness. Applied before bed, it promotes a calmer body and a more settled state, making it easier to unwind.

Magnesium FAQs

Will Magnesium ointment help me sleep?

Ok we have to get a bit science heavy here: Magnesium binds to GABA receptors in the brain which slow nerve activity and plays a role in the production of Melatonin - the Sleep hormone. Even if you sleep fairly well, Magnesium can help you attain a deeper and more restorative sleep, with fewer wakings during the night.

Will Magnesium ointment help me with Anxiety?

Magnesium helps balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, decreasing the "fight-or-flight" response (driven by cortisol) and promoting the "rest and digest" response, leading to a calmer state.

Can it help with my Restless Legs (RLS)?

Many of our customers (and the Ecology Team) find the Ointment effective for restless legs.

Can I use the Magnesium Ointment on my children?

Yes, the Ecology Team regularly use it with their kids.

It is safe to do so after 12 months (a quarter of a teaspoon) and for children over 9 years a half teaspoon rubbed into soles of feet. As always check with your GP or health practitioner if you want to be sure.

Can I use Magnesium Ointment while I’m pregnant?

Suitable for use in pregnancy after week 12. This is due to the Lavender essential oil which should be avoided in the first trimester. After giving birth continued use of the Magnesium ointment may also help with your milk production.

Is there any reason I shouldn’t use the Ointment?

Do not use if you have severe kidney function disorders or Myasthenia gravis.

How much magnesium is in half a teaspoon?

Each half a teaspoon is 350mg. The recommended daily Adult Nutritional Reference value is 375mg per day, there is no upper limit on the amount of transdermal magnesium.
