Magnesium oil is a really unique solution and I’ve noticed mine has stayed fresh for months without an additional preservative. Even the ones for sale online don’t have added preservatives.

I made mag oil 10 or more years ago. I’m just finishing it up and it still works.

It lasts up to 6 months if using distilled water, not a few weeks

Since it has water, don’t you need preservatives?

8 ounces or larger will work.

Have you found a spray bottle that works with magnesium oil and doesn’t get clogged?

It should last several weeks at least if you use distilled water and keep in a cool place.

What is the shelf life of the spray?

Katie likes to use magnesium both topically and interally for her and her kids to make sure they get enough.

Thank you

Yes you should avoid open skin

Likely no such thing. What are your symptoms?
Perhaps what Venia is saying is that she has trouble absorbing Mg and gets gastric distress. Topical magnesium would get around that issue. ‘Excipients’ in magnesium pills (pretty much anything that isn’t the capsule [bovine gelatin, ‘vegetable capsule (hypromellose)’] and magnesium salt [eg ‘magnesium bisglycinate’ or ‘magnesium chloride’] can also irritate the gut lining (micro-tears) and cause distress. Again, topical is great to get around that.

Possibly the ‘allergic reaction’ some experience is either:
A. The itchy feeling some get when the Magnesium transits the skin. [can be a sign of various sickness/ailments or other vitamin/mineral deficiencies. Lookup grimhood on twitter/patreon, I think he answers that somewhere]
B. Other compounds in the solution due to using tap or well water. (chlorine comes to mind) try using distilled water next time and see how it goes.
To solve A momentarily, just have a damp cloth around when applying to rub on the itchy spots. It will dissolve the Mg further making it less potent; or just bear it. You could also try, if distilled water gives the same issue, dissolving less Magnesium Chloride flakes.
It goes without saying rubbing this stuff on an open wound will indeed sting.

Peace!

Instead of distilled water, can I use vodka?

I used to get such bad leg cramps in the middle of the night. My sister in law told me about magnesium supplements… I now take those, and no more leg cramps.. but I also use magnesium oil on the bottom of my feet and put in my belly button at night . Works great!! No more leg cramps

Do not use the spray right after you shave your legs!! Or underarms!! It will really burn and itch afterwardsl. I think this article (or another) said it might take a few days for your body to get used to it, and then it should not itch and burn.

I know you can be allergic to iodine as I am.

My daughter, 36, also has a reaction if she comes in contact with this magnesium chloride. She also has a reaction to iodine. She’s always told it’s not possible to be allergic to these. Myself, I love the results I achieve with each.
