Transdermal Magnesium Therapy Course: Learn about health benefits, uses and applications of magnesium salts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781719950848)

Magnesium is rightly called "the miracle mineral". There are few minerals which attract so much attention and instigate so much scientific research.

• It participates in over 300 biochemical reactions and helps maintain many bodily functions, such as the normal muscle and nerve function, steady heart rhythm, normal blood pressure, healthy immune system and strong bones.
• It also helps to normalise blood sugar levels.
• Magnesium plays a vital role in preventing heart disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis and a whole range of other dangerous and debilitating diseases.

Magnesium deficiency is more common than we realise. It can be explained by a number of factors, with the main reasons being depletion of soil in minerals worldwide due to intensive agriculture.

Another factor is a compromised digestive tract which includes a large number of people - young and old. According to American nutritionists, an average adult needs 200 mg more magnesium per day than what is obtained from a diet. The fact is that the dietary magnesium is not sufficient in providing the body with this important mineral.

Dr Calolyn Dean lists the following conditions which develop in cases of magnesium deficiency or and require magnesium supplementation: "Acid reflux, Adrenal fatigue, Alzheimer's disease, Angina, Anxiety and panic attacks, Arthritis, Asthma, Atherosclerosis, Blood clots, Bowel disease, Brain dysfunction, Bruxism or teeth grinding, Cholesterol elevation, cystitis, Depression, Detoxification, Diabetes, Fatigue, Headaches, Heart disease, Hypertension, Hypoglycemia, Indigestion, Inflammation, Insomnia, IBS, Kidney disease, Kidney stones, Migraine, Musculo-skeletal conditions: (muscle cramps, fibrositis, fibromyalgia, GI spasms, tension headaches, muscle spams or muscle contractions in any muscle of the body, chronic neck and back pain, jaw tension), Nerve problems - Neuralgia, Neuritis, Neuropathy (burning pain, muscle weakness, numbness paralysis, pins and needles, seizures and convulsions, tingling twitching, vertigo, confusion), Obstetrical and gynecological problems (PMS, dysmenorrhea, female infertility, premature contractions, preeclampsia and eclampsia, cerebral palsy, sudden infant death syndrome, male infertility), Osteoporosis, Parkinson's disease, Raynaud's syndrome, Sports injuries, Sports recovery, Tongue biting, Tooth decay." http: //drcarolyndean.com.

While there are a number of excellent magnesium supplements on the market, oral supplementation is not always effective due to our body inefficiency in absorbing it through the digestive tract.

One of the reasons is that our intestinal tract gets covered by mucus as we grow older, or for other reasons. This means that we need to find other ways to bring sufficient magnesium to the body on a regular basis. There is a fast way of doing it - through intravenous injections, but it's not an option for most people since it needs a professional to do it.

However, there is another quick and simple method to supplement this very important mineral. It involves applying magnesium salts through the skin.The reason it is effective is that our skin has an ability to absorb, so ions of magnesium penetrate through the skin into the bloodstream and get delivered to all the cells needing it.

This course gives a very detailed explanation of various aspects of magnesium, its role in health, symptoms and consequences of magnesium deficiency for health and ways to supplement it through the skin.

The course is aimed at therapists and members of the public wishing to learn it for their own use. If you want to learn it in more detail or for professional use with an option to get certified, we can offer an online version of the course. You will be able to find information in the book.
