Paying Attention to Your Body?
Magnesium is one of those things I think a lot of us don’t pay much attention to—until we realize just how much our bodies depend on it.
Feeling unusually fatigued? Muscles cramping or twitching? Trouble relaxing? Feeling weak or just a little “off”? There are all sorts of reasons those things can happen, of course, but not getting enough magnesium can be one of them.
And apparently, a lot of us aren’t getting as much as we should.
Magnesium is used all over the body—for our muscles, nerves, bones, energy, blood sugar, heart rhythm, and more. So making sure we’re getting enough is kind of a big deal.
Checked a few boxes? It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re deficient — but it might be a good reason to take a closer look.

So… How Do We Get More?
First, food! Leafy greens, nuts, seeds, beans, and whole grains are all good sources.
Beyond food, there are two common ways to supplement: internally and topically. I personally use both. The internal forms can be confusing — they aren’t all absorbed the same, and some can have you spending a little more time in the bathroom than you bargained for. Even if you don’t need both, anyone can benefit from the topical spray – especially when you add essential oils.
The One on My Nightstand
The topical magnesium infused with lavender and frankincense, sits on my nightstand. Just a few spritzes on my legs and feet as I’m winding down for the night, and I’m done. Sometimes I’ll apply a little of our body butter afterward. It comes infused or unscented, so you can easily add your own oils.
Not All Magnesium Sprays are Created Equal
Our Magnesium Mist is made with genuine mineral-rich Dead Sea water from Israel — waters renowned for its extraordinary concentration and unique balance of mineral salts.
At roughly 34% salinity, the Dead Sea is dramatically more mineral-concentrated than ordinary ocean water, and instead of being dominated by sodium chloride, its water is particularly rich in magnesium, calcium, and potassium.
Together, these minerals have made the Dead Sea famous for centuries as a destination for mineral bathing, skin care, spas, and restorative rest.
Salt of the earth, indeed.
A Simple Mineral Ritual
Mist our easily-absorbed formula onto clean skin and gently massage in — feet, calves, shoulders, back, wherever the day settled in. Allow it to absorb before dressing. Lovely after a long day, following exercise, or as part of your evening wind-down before bed.
Good to know: this is a concentrated mineral spray, so a temporary tingling or prickly sensation can happen — especially on very dry or sensitive skin. It settles as it absorbs, and following with body butter (my habit) makes it a non-issue. Avoid broken or freshly shaved skin, and discontinue if it irritates.

Two Ways to Use Magnesium
I use magnesium two ways, and a lot of readers end up wanting both:
- Topically: Our Dead Sea Magnesium Mists — a few spritzes on legs and feet as you wind down. $13 Unscented / $15 Ancient Calm → shop link
- Internally: Text MAG to 309-450-9711 for my personal fave.
Two different helps, from two different shelves of my life — the mist is Thorn & Thistle; the internal recommendation comes through my wellness practice. Use one, or use both.
