Whereas there exist different types and brands of magnesium oil, Ancient Minerals is the purest among them because it is sourced from very deep within the earth. It consequently tends to be far less irritating to skin than other brands due to the purity of the minerals. This relative mildness is especially noticeable when it is used topically, whether applied full strength (i.e., undiluted) or diluted with water, but possibly also when added to lotions or baths. While magnesium oil is ideal for transdermal application, certain sources indicate that magnesium oil can be very beneficial when taken orally in small quantities. Oral magnesium administration or supplementation is quite common (for example, in capsule form or when consuming “epsom salts”), but magnesium oil offers a safe, effective, and convenient form for oral usage. Individuals considering oral intake of natural magnesium oil may wish to choose an ultra pure, ancient source in order to ensure the highest purity and best results. Ancient Minerals meets the need for an ultra-high purity magnesium oil that may safely be taken orally (when used appropriately). While Ancient Minerals magnesium oil is highly concentrated, its mineral content retains the purity of ancient seawater (but has much lower levels of sodium). Seawater, for example, is renowned for its health-giving properties, many of which relate to its magnesium content. Magnesium oil delivers magnesium in a pure, concentrated form for maxiumum therapeutic and tonifying benefits. Small quantities can yield significant benefits. We therefore recommend Ancient Minerals magnesium oil for applications requiring direct use on skin (e.g., transdermal magnesium therapy) or when ultra-high purity is desired (e.g., for oral consumption). This is the best choice for most types of applications (oral use, direct use on skin, and in lotions, baths, footbaths). It is noticeably less irritating or “stinging” to the skin than other magnesium oil formulas. Many health care professionals and health-conscious individuals interested in magnesium oil for health prefer Ancient Minerals to all other magnesium formulas or Vitamin Supplements because of its unique and exceptionally high level of purity. Ancient Minerals is simply the purest magnesium oil available today!
