Benefits

Evokes the soothing, mood-elevating effects of forest bathing

The Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku or “forest bathing,” involves relaxing in a forested environment. Developed as an antidote to increased urbanization, shinrin-yoku involves breathing in forest air rich in phytoncides, aromatic compounds produced by trees linked to physical, mental and emotional health benefits. Studies show forest bathing promotes relaxation, reduces stress, supports the immune system and strengthens the parasympathetic nervous system. Ancient Minerals® Forest Calm mimics the natural aromatherapy of phytoncides with a blend of pure essential oils.

Restores magnesium levels


Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 biochemical processes. It supports heart health, builds strong bones, promotes nervous system and muscle health, and is essential to energy production. Every cell in your body needs magnesium to thrive, yet many of us are deficient. Ancient Minerals® Forest Calm makes it easy to replenish depleted magnesium at the cellular level.

Supports stress relief & relaxation


Soaking in a warm magnesium-infused bath is a simple ritual that can help ease stress and tension. Often called the “relaxation mineral,” magnesium calms nerves and muscles, supports healthy brain function and improves mood by regulating neurotransmitters that send messages throughout your brain and nervous system. The addition of soothing, forest-derived essential oils enhances the stress-relieving effects of magnesium.

Eases achy muscles


In addition to its ability to dissolve tension, magnesium offers fast, powerful relief from everyday muscle aches and discomfort. It supports the healthy function of muscles, helping them relax and contract properly. Taking a warm magnesium-infused bath after a workout can help ease post-exercise muscle soreness.

Promotes restful sleep


Magnesium can help you get a good night’s sleep by helping to relax the body as your body prepares for rest. Especially when used in an evening bath before bed, the “relaxation mineral” can help you fall asleep and sleep soundly through the night.

FAQs

How is this different than epsom salts?

Magnesium bath flakes are made from magnesium chloride. Epsom salts are magnesium sulfate. Although both contain a form of magnesium, magnesium chloride is much better suited for topical application. Magnesium chloride is the best choice because of its clinical and pharmacological effects, and its lower tissue toxicity as compared to magnesium sulfate. Magnesium chloride is more easily assimilated, and therefore more bioavailable or absorbed and utilized by the body. Whereas magnesium sulfate is not as easily absorbed and utilized in the body.

Magnesium Chloride has a different molecular structure that is more easily assimilated, and therefore more bioavailable or absorbed and utilized by the body. Whereas Magnesium Sulfate is not as easily absorbed and utilized in the body. Epsom Salts are also more rapidly excreted through the kidneys than Magnesium Chloride, which explains why results don’t last long, and more amounts are needed for desired effects.

Additionally, mankind’s indiscriminate use of fossil fuels and synthetic chemicals has ensured that almost every single body of water on this planet contains measurable levels of toxins. This includes the most easily attained sources of Epsom Salts. In fact, many Epsom Salt brands do not reveal the sourcing of their product and package from the cheapest source available at the moment, many of which could be polluted with environmental toxins and heavy metals.
