Magnesium Lotion

[@MarysNest]

Hi Vickie, Wow!! Thanks so much for sharing this. Both Ted and I have joint pain in our fingers and this could really help. Especially since arthritis runs in my family!! I had tried the magnesium spray but it was a bit sticky. I love this idea of making a lotion!! This is going to be wonderful. Thank you SO much for sharing. Love, Mary

[@VickiesCountryHome]

You are very welcome! I have put some on my neck where I have arthritis, and it did seem to help. I gave some to my pastor yesterday, and we will see how it works for him! But magnesium is sorely lacking in our diets, so I don’t believe it can hurt, and it can go directly to where it is needed.

[@hahaipokedyouoel483]

I’m currently using magnesium oil but I love the idea of using your wonderful lotion.

[@gwenreed8605]

Loved this I’ll get my stuff ordered and make this I have arthritis in several joint toes fingers had two knee placement. One shoulder replacement needs another shoulder, but I am going to give this a try. Thank you so much.

[@kaykayrn1747]

I don't have the research in front of me but it is said that the majority of people are deficient in Magnesium. I may try this recipe. I'm currently using a Magnesium spray followed behind with DMSO for neck/shoulder pain & leg cramps. Thanks for another way to use Magnesium.🌺

[@VickiesCountryHome]

You are so welcome! I really hope that this works, and that it helps the ones who need it! Blessings!

[@patricialee1477]

Would you please get back to us when you find out how this works for each of them?It sounds like a nice lotion\cream even if it doesn't take away a portion of the pain.. It sounds good and what a kind gift. thank you!

[@VickiesCountryHome]

I will Patricia! I used some, and it seemed to help, but I think it’s true value will be using it over time. I also know from research and prior experiments that the frankinsence helps with pain.

[@bharati0329]

Thanks, Vickie for sharing this. I have made magnesium body butter using emulsifier but I will now use bees wax. Also, have you tried combining magnesium with MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)?

[@normazaharioudakis115]

Hello did this receive helped? I just found this video and thank you for sharing

[@gwenreed8605]

A thanks so much I will make it when I get the supplies in for our aches and pains

[@armindastalnaker7058]

I would not recommend using Epsom salts. The reason is, it does not absorb as well as magnesium flakes. Magnesium flakes are magnesium chloride, whereas Epsom salts are magnesium sulfate, which is more drying, thus, not absorbed well through the skin.

[@VickiesCountryHome]

I do use and prefer the magnesium flakes.

[@armindastalnaker7058]

Vickie's Country Home that’s good, I just wouldn’t put that you can use Epsom salt in your video because others may not know, and be tempted to use that because it’s so readily available.

[@cherylrightnour9918]

Hi Vicky I’m not sure you’ll answer since this video is 4 yrs old - but praying you do. I’ve been looking at several Magnesium lotions videos& like yours best. I did have couple questions before I started- you said 1oz beeswax- but in your little bowl it looked like it had more ? Also the Shea butter you said 1 tabs spoon- but your little bowl looked like it had more? So was just checking cause I’ve tried a few others that didn’t come out right and has to throw away wasting stuff. I really hope you see & can let me know- been try to get some made for months- would greatly appreciate it 💕 Would like to visit your other products to maybe even try some of your stuff in the future. Thank you & Blessing to you.

[@cherylrightnour9918]

Please can you reply to my previous message so can make this beautiful magnesium lotion 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@VickiesCountryHome]

I just saw this question. I prepare this by eight using a scale. I don’t remember if I doubled it that time, but the proportions would be correct.

[@Makeyourlifespectacular]

Epsom salt is not the same as Magnesium flakes. Epsom is magnesium sulfate and magnesium flakes is magnesium chloride.

[@721serenity]

Thank you so much i follow your instructions and my mother and I are really happy about it we both have knee replacements this lotion it really works . Thanks God Bless

[@deballen6241]

I love your healing video's. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all. Great inspiration. Have a great week! God Bless you.

Thank you for watching, and God Bless!

[@papatutti59]

Hi Vicky. Have you ever tried adding a little bit of cbd cannanbis oil in there? My daughter makes a cannabis balm and it works wonders for my arthritis pain. And it doesn't get you high.

[@VickiesCountryHome]

I’m sure you could do that, but I haven’t tried.

[@papatutti59]

@@VickiesCountryHome Sorry, I forgot not all States allow cannabis use. If your State does, you should make a small amount for yourself and try it. It works wonders!

[@VickiesCountryHome]

It is legal here, but there are some gotchas in the laws, so I choose not to risk it.

[@carolyncooper9092]

How does this product stay combined without adding a emulsifier?

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Danny and I both have arthritis, I suffer with restless leg syndrome every night, I hope this helps your mom, and pastor, let me know if this helps. Another great learning video. Xoxoxo

[@VickiesCountryHome]

This absorbs so well into your skin! I do know I put some on my neck the other night (I have arthritis there), and it did help. My pastor is using it (and his wife is reminding him to 😁), so hopefully I can report back soon. But think of it as when you soak in Epsom salts - it also has magnesium being absorbed through the skin.

[@AndreasCreations]

This is fabulous and such great timing - I just purchased a bag of magnesium flakes to try making some magnesium butter! :-) I am curious as to whether it hardened up a lot in the refrigerator? I like your choice of using frankincense. great video. Thanks so much for sharing

[@VickiesCountryHome]

Thank you! The lotion hasn’t “hardened”, but it did firm up a little. Still very easy to scoop out and rub in.

[@AndreasCreations]

Vickie's Country Home thanks Vickie. I can't wait to make some of your magnesium body butter! :-)

[@diepnguyen-xg7yn]

Does the fat/oil from the recipe separate from the water part after a while? Another recipe I've used separated after a few days and I want to avoid this trouble. Thanks!

[@susiewietelman9321]

Vickie, does your salve cause itching? I can’t hardly stand the itching. :/

[@cgil1974]

Thank you kindly! Stay blessed. xo

[@amethystsamia]

Vickie you might want to consider using a bit of tea tree oil as a “preservative”. Not necessarily a preservative but it does prevent mold & mildew from growing in things with water as an ingredient. I make my own sugar scrub...very basic...Castile soap & sugar...and I keep it in the shower. Water does get in it from hands etc, but I’ve never had a bit of mildew. My only complaint is that it doesn’t smell wonderful, but In small quantities, combined with other more fragrant oils, it shouldn’t be too bad. Maybe? Hopefully. 😁 Saving your recipe (as always) to add to my arsenal of chemical free products. You’re very much appreciated!

[@VickiesCountryHome]

Thank you Amethyst! Although I love Tea Tree (even how it smells!), and it is anti-bacterial, any time that you introduce water into a formula, or the product is exposed to water, there are some very strong microbes that can infect the product. Some of these can even be life threatening. This is a link to one article explaining the dangers, but there are many others that I have read: makingskincare.com/preservatives/ This is why I have chosen to not make any liquid soaps, lotions, and even scrubs. Liquid soaps and lotions require preservatives, and scrubs should also have them if there is more than one use in a container, due to its exposure to water. You might not see or smell it, but it can still make you very ill. I considered putting Tea Tree or Lavender in this lotion, but I didn’t think it would really add much to it. So to be on the safe side, I will make sure that it stays refrigerated. Thank you for watching, and please let me know if you try this!

[@amethystsamia]

Vickie's Country Home thanks for the info. I realize there’s lots of nasty stuff out there and we do indeed need to do all we can to minimize our risks. My scrub doesn’t include water, but tiny drops of water do get in it. Of course the liquid Castile soap contains water. Seems as if we’re all doomed. Haha! Does using distilled water make it any better? For a variety of reasons I’m not able to make many things but the minute I can correct the reasons many of your recipes are on the top of the list! Thanks again for the link. 💜

[@VickiesCountryHome]

Distilled water will slow it down, also purified water. All of the water from my taps is well water that goes through a 4 stage filter, then a UV filter, so it isn’t bad. But the little beasties can still grow, just a little slower.

[@amethystsamia]

Vickie's Country Home thank you so much Vickie. I’ve learned so much. I’m in WV and we’re infamous for our water problems. I don’t drink tap water and would love to have a whole house filter. Some day. 😁😁 Again thank you so much for the info. I truvto kesrn something new every day and today you’ve been a wealth of information! 💜💜💜

[@malenejensen2995]

If your scrub has a high content of sugar, then the sugar will absorb the water and prevent bacteria from growing in the water. Preserving food is all about making the water not available for the bacteria. This can be achieved by binding the water with sugar or in this instance a salt, magnesium chloride.

Double boiler method is best

[@hollydawsonjames1999]

How did this turn out?? I am getting g ready to make a batch, as soon as my tins get here. Please let meknkw??

[@hymaintenance1]

Do you have any feedback from your Pastor and mom on whether it helped them or not? Thanks for sharing!

[@VickiesCountryHome]

It does help, but they both have very bad arthritis, so while it helps, it is not going to be the only solution. I have also used it for back pain, joint pain, and it does help.

[@JEHomestead]

Vickie, This was a great tutorial! Let us know how it works out for your mom and pastor! Thanks For Sharing It. Hugs, Judy❤️

[@VickiesCountryHome]

Thank you! I will do that!

[@superkatertot5425]

Does anyone know if I can do one cup mag flakes, one cup water, combined; and all coconut oil instead of all the other things? The amounts of "other things" added up and that's how much coconut oil I'd use. I simply don't want to purchase all this stuff, in case I don't tolerate the end product = wasting money and ingredients. THANKS IN ADVANCE

[@Candeerose3]

Add some demo into the mix. That will help not only with the pain but also carry the rest of the ingredients into the body.

[@kflan3342]

How do you think the recipe would do using 1/2 cup water and 1 cup magnesium. Do you think it would hold its emulsification better?

[@VickiesCountryHome]

It is possible, although as I said, this is the first time that I made this formula. I am not concerned as much about the emulsification, as that is holding well. Adding water is something that I try not to do for bacteria, mold problems. However I did try dissolving some magnesium in oil, and that didn’t work, so you have to use water. Also, you would have to see if the magnesium would completely dissolve in the smaller amount of water. Please let me know if you try it, and how it works!

[@kflan3342]

Thank you. I will let you know. End goal to create a higher magnesium cream. This sounds so much more comfortable than 'magnesium oil' which as you know is not really an oil.

[@VickiesCountryHome]

Please do!

[@carolswitzer8327]

Just a note.. people can have a reaction to shey butter. Just rubbing it into my elbow caused difficulty in breathing. What would you use as a substitute?

[@VickiesCountryHome]

Hi Carol, I believe that Shea is a tree nut, so anyone with that type of allergy should avoid it. Let me do a little checking, and I will try to see if there is something that would be similar. It won’t have the same properties as Shea Butter, but I might find one with the same texture.

What about mango butter or avocado butter

How much she put beeswax in this?

Hi she said 1 oz beeswax

[@John-jv2lo]

I think they make magnesium oil...then you wouldn't need water...much safer. I Would have no idea on how to change up the measurements for the recipe though.

[@malenejensen2995]

Magnesium oil is actually the magnesium flakes dissolved in water. It is called magnesium oil because it is feels like oil 🙂
