Benefits
Magnesium is found throughout nature—and within us. While it plays a vital role in our overall physiology, many ancestral traditions also valued its benefits when used externally, especially through mineral-rich bathing.
Magnesium has been referred to as the “relaxation mineral” for good reason. A warm soak can quiet the body and create space for mental ease—just as traditional bathing rituals were used to mark the end of the day.
A magnesium bath after movement may help ease bodily tension and create a grounded sense of renewal. It’s a time-honored way to care for the body after exertion.
Whether part of a winding-down routine or weekend self-care, a warm magnesium soak can help shift the body into a more restful, relaxed rhythm—ideal before bed.
Sourced from concentrated seawater deposits found approximately 2 miles beneath the earth’s surface in the ancient Zechstein seabed, our pure magnesium chloride offers superior absorption and potency compared to other forms of magnesium.
