Every week at the market, I hear it.
“Oh wow… magnesium body butter? What’s it for?”
And just like that, I’m in the same conversation I’ve had a thousand times.
Bless their curiosity — but it’s wild to me that this is still a mystery in 2025.
Let me make it simple:
Magnesium is the lifeblood of the Earth.
It’s in our oceans. It flows through hot springs and aquifers. It used to be in our soil, our food, and our water. Your great-grandmother got it every time she watered her garden, cooked her food, or soaked her feet at the lake.
It was always free. Always available.
Until it wasn’t.
🧂 What Happened to Magnesium?
It’s been stripped from our water systems through modern filtration.
It’s been depleted from our soils due to industrial farming.
It’s diverted into manufacturing industries — no joke:
- Used as a coagulant in tofu production
- Sprayed on icy roads as de-icer
- Used in paper mills, textiles, and chemical refining
- Added to animal feed and industrial processes
- And yes — it’s the base of Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate)
Yet walk into any average grocery store, and will you find high-quality magnesium chloride flakes on the shelf? Probably not.
Instead, we’re sold lab-made supplements — often hard to absorb — and told to “just take a vitamin.”
But magnesium chloride is 80% bioavailable through the skin.
Your skin literally drinks it in.
So why is no one talking about that?
🛁 You Can Feel It Instantly — If You Let Yourself
You don’t need to believe me.
You just need to have a bath.
Get in a tub with magnesium chloride flakes, and you’ll feel it. The calm. The sleep. The regular heartbeat. The relief in your muscles. You’ll think, “Oh wow, I needed this.” Because your body is wired for it. You’re not deficient — you’re deprived.
Ever gone on holiday and felt amazing after two days near the ocean?
That wasn’t just the break.
You soaked in natural salt water, breathed mineral-rich air, ate local food, drank clean water — your body rebalanced.
That’s how you’re supposed to feel every day.
🌊 Dipping Your Feet Is Revolutionary
Children run into the ocean without question.
They don’t need to be told it’s good for them — they know.
So why do adults hesitate?
Magnesium is not some rare crystal only accessible to a few.
It’s everywhere. But access has been blocked, and its story buried.
We need to flip the narrative.
Magnesium isn’t fringe. It’s not “alternative.”
It’s not a secret. And it shouldn’t be expensive or hidden behind wellness jargon.
It’s basic, biological, ancestral healing.
And if I could ask one thing of you today, it’s this:
Tell one person.
Help someone reconnect to the ocean, the hot springs, the feeling of being alive and balanced and whole.
✨ This Summer, Reclaim It
As you travel, seek out natural waters.
Dip your feet. Let your kids run wild.
Soak in mineral springs. Bring your bath flakes.
Let your body remember what it feels like to heal itself.
And remember: Magnesium chloride belongs to everyone.
Not just supplement companies. Not just manufacturers.
You. Your family. Your ancestors. Your future.
