how is this different from epsom salts?

Epsom salts are magnesium SULFATE. But this product is magnesium CHLORIDE. The two are very different chemically. Most importantly, magnesium chloride is better for making magnesium oil (you can boil it half and half with filtered water and let it cool down... voila! Fresh magnesium oil).

If I mix magnesium with water and then with coconut oil to make a lotion would I have to add a preservative? Thank you.

No, you would not need a preservative if you mixed your own lotion containing: magnesium, water and coconut oil together. As magnesium chloride is a salt and already a self preserver. In addition, you may be interested to know that Ancient Minerals also makes a great lotion, gel and spray as well. Enjoy!

what is the right proportion of Ancient Minerals magnesium flakes and water to make magnesium spray oil

I suggest putting 25% flakes in a little travel spray bottle to start, then adding hot tap water to dilute. Then it won't tingle as much when you first use it. I use 50% now after my body mag levels became normalized. Your body sucks it in about 30 minutes then it's all gone. That's why most spray it 30 minutes before showering. I carry it around everywhere.

what is the chemical composition difference between this and epsom salts?

Mg sulfate (MgSO4) is epsom salts. Sulfates are salts of sulfuric acid. Mg chloride (MgCl2) is what this product consists of. Chloride is an ion and is an electrolyte that is important for transmitting nerve impulses among many other things. If you can handle all the sciency mumbo jumbo, I recommend Googling "NIH magnesium sulfate and magnesium chloride" or something similar to ensure you get legit results. This study seems to be legit and relatively easy to decipher: http://www.jle.com/fr/revues/mrh/e-docs/magnesium_chloride_or_magnesium_sulfate_a_genuine_question_266651/article.phtml?tab=texte The bioavailability of MgCl2 is good vs. the low bioavailability of MgSO4. My personal experience? I've used both epsom salts in the bath and used magnesium chloride in the bath as a treatment for a neurological syndrome I have that is quite horrible. I feel like the magnesium chloride has helped me more in decreasing the pain, at least temporarily. There is certainly a difference in terms of chemical composition of both of these compounds. While neither is "better" than the other per se, for the purpose of taking a bath to help with pain I would recommend the magnesium chloride over the epsom salts.

う**ん

妻へのプレゼントとしてこちらのマグネシウム入浴剤を購入しました。結果は大正解で、デスクワークで肩や足の疲れが溜まりやすい妻が「身体が芯からスッキリして、リフレッシュできた！」ととても喜んでくれました。特に感動したのは、夏のぬるめのお湯でも約30秒でしっかり溶ける速さ。季節を問わず、オールシーズン快適に使える点が素晴らしいです。入浴後は身体がぽかぽかと温まり、お肌もしっとり。冷え性や疲労回復、リラックスしたい方に本当におすすめできます。自分用のご褒美はもちろん、大切な人へのギフトにも最適です。健康や癒しを贈れるアイテムとして、これからもリピートしたいと思います！

マグネシウムの入浴剤が気になっていて、こちらの商品を購入しました。日本語のレビューがないため少し不安もありましたが、海外の方のレビューも大変参考になりました。（最近日本で発売スタートしたのでしょうか？）こちらの商品をお風呂に入れて、20-30分入ったところ、お風呂から出ても体がずっとポカポカでとても気持ちよかったです。様々な入浴剤を試している妻も、他のものに比べてもポカポカ効果が長い気がする、と気に入っています。マグネシウムは安眠などの健康効果もあると聞いたので、継続して使用してみたい。写真も貼ってみましたが、きちんと日本語の成分表示も書いてありました。日本でも人気になりそうな感じがします。

普段から冷え性な上、妊娠中によく足が攣ってしまい悩んでいたところ、こちらのマグネシウム入浴剤が良いとおすすめされたので使用してみました。まず…お風呂を出た後もしばらく身体がぽかぽかしてとても気持ちが良いです。入浴中にマッサージもしてみたところ、肩凝りや足の攣りにも効果があったように思います。普通の入浴剤と比べてわりと良い値段ですが、使用後の満足度が高いので、週に何回かのご褒美タイムに使おうと思います。

I made sure I ordered as pure a form as possible because I also drink it to purify the cells of my body. I mix 60g of magnesium chloride with 1 l of water and I drink 200ml of the solution everyday for 5 days. This is a French habit I inherited from my mother and it has always worked a treat for me. I can't guarantee that Ancient Minerals Magnesium Chloride will work for everybody in terms of oral consumption but it does for me, so consume at your own risk! I also use this for my foot baths and it leaves my feet all soft and reenergized. I am just about to reorder a pack actually!

If you have used Epsom salt for healing infections or for soaking - move up to magnesium salts. You use less and it honestly makes a huge difference for healing & muscle/joint pain. Can't live without it! Remember to NOT rinse off. If you're dirty, shower first to get clean then run the bathtub to soak. 1 handful is plenty. It's WAY more expensive but totally worth it.
