Magnesium is an essential mineral for the healthy function of mind and body, is vital for normal muscle and nerve function and plays a key role in energy production. However, studies conducted worldwide have consistently shown a significant prevalence of magnesium deficiency in populations, with startling statistics observed in Australia. Reports indicate that 40% of individuals in Australia do not obtain sufficient dietary magnesium, and 70% of Australians are deficient in this mineral (ABS 2012).

Insufficient magnesium intake can result in various symptoms, including muscle cramps and spasms, restlessness, sleeplessness, headaches, migraines, and nervous tension. To address this issue, it is crucial to identify rich dietary sources of magnesium, such as tofu, legumes, whole grains, green leafy vegetables, wheat bran, Brazil nuts, soybean flour, almonds, cashews, blackstrap molasses, pumpkin seeds, and pine nuts. Additionally, peanuts, whole wheat flour, oat flour, beet greens, spinach, pistachio nuts, shredded wheat, bran cereals, oatmeal, bananas, and baked potatoes (with skin) can also contribute to magnesium intake.

Furthermore, the historical practice of bathing in mineral-rich waters to alleviate body ailments is noteworthy, as these natural waters often contain appreciable amounts of magnesium. During bathing, the skin can absorb magnesium, potentially aiding in addressing magnesium deficiencies and providing restorative benefits. This absorption contributes to replenishing magnesium levels in the body, supporting its normal functions, including muscle and nerve function.

Bathing in mineral-rich waters also offers a relaxing effect on both the body and mind. Immersion in warm water promotes muscle relaxation, relieves tension, and reduces stress, indirectly enhancing overall well-being. This relaxation response may alleviate symptoms associated with muscle cramps, spasms, restlessness, and nervous tension.

In cases where dietary intake or absorption through bathing is inadequate, magnesium supplements serve as an alternative method to increase magnesium levels in the body. By incorporating these supplements into your routine, you can effectively enhance overall magnesium intake and support the proper functioning of both mind and body.
