Foot Baths
Foot baths are a convenient substitute for full body baths. Use
the same directions you would use for a whole body soak...put 1
to 2 ounces of Magnesium Oil, in a foot bath. For accelerated
results, you might want to add 1/8 to 1/4 cup of Magnesium Bath
Flakes. The water temperature should be at about 108 degrees
Fahrenheit and deep enough to submerge the feet to the bottom of
the ankle bone. Because the skin on our feet is a little thicker,
it is suggested that you soak for at least 30 minutes and a
little longer if possible. This is an excellent and convenient
way to increase your magnesium levels and you can do it while
you watch TV or read. It is known that our feet have many
reflexology points and meridian points that impact the whole
body and we can very easily take in magnesium transdermally this
way.
The most effective protocol for this therapy is to begin with a
foot bath every day for 7 days, starting at lighter
concentration of one ounce of Magnesium Oil, building up to two
ounces of Magnesium Oil. After the first 7 days, you may then
continue with a maintenance program of 2-3 times per week for
6-8 weeks or even longer and could eventually begin adding
Magnesium Bath Flake for faster results.
There are 3319 milligrams of elemental magnesium in each ounce
of Magnesium Oil, but no one knows how much elemental magnesium
actually gets absorbed during a soaking treatment. However, Dr.
Norm Shealy has done studies that demonstrate rapidly rising
magnesium levels in the body as a result of soaking regimens.
More on this subject is available in the book
