The benefits of Magnesium Oil with Essential Oils for Exercise
Enhance Your Performance and Recovery Naturally: The Power of Magnesium Oil with Essential Oils
If you're into running, yoga, hitting the gym, or simply love a good Parkrun, you know that every workout counts. But sometimes, post-exercise soreness can take a toll on our bodies and keep us from getting back to what we love. Here’s where magnesium oil, with a little added help from essential oils like frankincense, can make a world of difference. Let me introduce you to the incredible benefits of magnesium oil for performance, recovery, and how The Ives is crafting this wellness essential with pure ingredients in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Why Magnesium Oil?
Magnesium is an essential mineral that supports over 300 bodily functions, including muscle health, energy production, and nerve function. When we exercise, we often lose magnesium through sweat, which can lead to muscle cramps, fatigue, and even those dreaded days of DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) after a tough workout.
For athletes and wellness enthusiasts, magnesium oil applied topically offers a way to replenish those lost minerals quickly and effectively. When applied to the skin, magnesium is absorbed through the dermis, bypassing the digestive system for faster action where you need it most—your muscles.
What Does the Research Say?
Several studies have highlighted magnesium’s critical role in muscle health and recovery:
-
Improved Performance and Reduced Fatigue: Research published in the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine has shown that magnesium deficiency can impair performance and increase fatigue during endurance activities like running.
-
Reduced Muscle Soreness: A study published in the Journal of Magnesium Research found that magnesium helps reduce the incidence of DOMS, making it ideal for those post-workout aches that slow us down .
-
Flexibility and Reduced Inflammation: With the addition of essential oils like frankincense—known for its anti-inflammatory properties—magnesium oil can further support flexibility and recovery, making it a great companion for yoga practitioners and runners alike .

How to Use Magnesium Oil for Your Workout Routine
-
Before Exercise: Spray or Roll magnesium oil onto your legs, arms, or any area that tends to feel tight. Massage in for a minute or so for extra benefit, then head into your workout. This can help loosen muscles and reduce the risk of cramps during intense exercise.
-
After Exercise: For recovery, spray or roll magnesium oil directly onto any sore areas and gently massage it in. The magnesium will work to relax the muscles, and if you’re using The Ives magnesium oil with frankincense, you’ll enjoy the added benefit of reduced inflammation.

For Yoga Enthusiasts: Incorporate magnesium oil into your practice by massaging a little onto your neck, shoulders, or lower back before you start. This can help improve flexibility and add a touch of calm to your session.
