Prof. Graham Pierce, Ph.D.Daily usage of magnesium oil is safe for most people when properly used. This solution absorbs quickly into the skin, causing no gastrointestinal upset. Start with three to four applications a week to allow your body to become accustomed to the magnesium. Increase as tolerated, slowly, e.g., every other day. I use it every day now, having used it for two weeks. No problems have arisen.
Tolerance Building
- Begin with 3 applications weekly spaced evenly
- Use diluted solutions (15-20%) for sensitive skin
- Apply test patches on inner arm before full use
- Increase frequency by one session weekly
Optimal Application Areas
- Rotate between feet legs and torso daily
- Avoid same area consecutively to prevent sensitivity
- Prioritize thin-skinned zones for better absorption
- Use spray bottles for even distribution
Symptom Monitoring
- Watch for redness or itching after application
- Track sleep quality and muscle tension changes
- Note any skin dryness or white residue
- Adjust frequency based on personal responses
Use magnesium oil at the right time throughout your daily life. Evening use helps you sleep better after a spray on the feet. Morning application promotes better energy when rubbed on the wrists. I do it after I have showered, when the pores are open. I wait for 20 minutes before I get dressed. I do not take a bath for an hour after application.
If tingling or dryness appears, modify your routine. Go to the reduced applications immediately. After 30 minutes of magnesium application, moisturize. Drink frequently throughout the day. I keep aloe vera gel on hand for unanticipated reactions. These simple steps alleviate most irritation problems.
Keep track of your total magnesium intake. The upper limit set by the NIH is *350 mg daily.* Don't forget about the supplements and topical applications. I keep a record of everything I ingest in a health journal. This helps to prevent the rare systemic effects. Balance also guarantees the safety of daily topical applications.
