After watching one of your videos on Magnesium Lotion, I decided to try it. I am 55 yo. I have had trouble with back spasms, restless leg syndrome, and difficulty sleeping for over a decade. The very first night of using the lotion, I had no spasms, no legs jerking around, and I actually got a couple of hours in a row of sleep! I am now a couple of weeks in, and it is NOT a fluke!!! This stuff works for me!!! What a GIFT!!! Thank you!!! Tried making my own today... fingers crossed I did it right :)
There is a great video from She Is Of The Woods,on how to make your own magnesium oil! Helps saving money if your trying;) Basically half Hot water,half magnesium,but it helps to watch the video,very informative!
@@ritasaragosa3829I agree. I do that all the time. I just buy a canister of the powdered magnesium (which lasts a long time, even if you make it mixed with water as per directions in order to drink it), then mix a teaspoonful of the powder with about a teaspoonful or so of very hot water ( so it dissolves to clear into the water). It will foam up with a "whoosh" and then you will just see clear water. After it cools a bit, I just splash it on my skin (like arms and legs, tummy, etc.) I wouldn't put it on my face only because it may feel a little "sticky" for a while and face delicate facial skin feel a little dry or tight. I keep some around just in case of leg or foot cramps, because splashing it on will give immediate relief. But following the directions on the canister, and mixing it with water to drink, should keep away any muscle cramps anyway, if you use it daily or a few times per week as a supplement.
@@lynnethievin4827 but you won’t get the same concentration in a bath full of water. Rubbing cream with the magnesium on your skin is stronger and more effective.
three quarter olive oil, 5 tablespoons shea butter, 2 tablespoons of beeswax then heat at medium-high heat once it melted, one cup of magnesium oil or Bryne ( ancient mineral brand:) and add to the food processor together just like you would make mayonnaise and you can put essential oil like lavender 96 drops and make it cool put in a glass container and cool it. you can use it for six months
Hope I can get a answer from someone, I know you comment a month ago. I did everything she said last night exactly the recipe, I don’t have a food processor, did in a pan on stove to melt everything. But it was very oily- I let it sit for awhile it never thickened- put in Frig overnight to see if wound set up- it did a little, but still a lot of oil- I tried doing my mixer to get smooth & creamy- but it never did! Waste a lot of ingredients & $. What did I do wrong? Hope could tell me
@@waxiificationexactly, it looks really nice and healthy but, 96 is too much I think putting about 6-8 drops cause is enough, Lavender or any other are very concentrated.
If too oily add a teaspoon to a tablespoon of Arrowroot powder to the melted oil. Add it gradually and break up any clumps with a fork. I don’t use a food processor and have made very nice lotions-not this one.
I'm 60 years old and have so much problems with my body I can't wait to try this.i believe Jesus brought me to your channel as I've been asking him to show me what is wrong with me. I'll let you know how it goes
I live alone in a swamp in my van. I take a half used pound jar of mag chloride crystals and pour the best olive oil I can find to an inch above the crystals and just let it soak for a month. I stir a few times. The oil absorbs a lot. I let the crystals that are still solid settle and skim myself some for deep tissue massage. Old people need lots of massage for feet ankles hands and wrists with magnesium. Me old.
Magnesium saved my life!!! Around April 2019 I was trying to figure how many more years I could live with the pain in my back before I offed myself! For months I had been seeing this commercial about a product called Theraworx that contains magnesium, and how it stopped muscle cramps in its tracks. A friend tried it and said it was amazing! I have a major muscle group injury in my back that began with a hernia just to the right of my spine. The first time I tried it, tears of relief streamed down the sides of my face!! I hadn't been able to take a full breath in a decade! All of the pain and tension just melted away!! Then I discovered magnesium liquid pills, and with that I was able to relieve pain I wasn't even aware I was having!! So, long story short, thanks to magnesium, I no longer think about offing myself!!
Same! Herniated disks in my neck and pain in every joint. When I discovered theraworxx I cried because the doctor told me I could no longer take Allieve or Advil bc autoimmune disease and my stomach. I didn’t know what to do with the 24/7 pain. Later I discovered 2000 mg of omega 3 fish oil and it got rid of the inflammation of joint pain. I take 400 mg of magnesium (can prev) Glycinate daily now to help prevent inflammation too.
Big hug for a mom who’s taking time out of her busy schedule to post recipes and make a TH-cam video. Love your little assistant showing up on the bottom of the screeen. Thank you.❤️🙏🏻
@@ClosereverydayI’m sure she can practice some resillience skills for the entire ten minutes or so she may of had to entertain herself… maybe she even learns her mother is a great example of having skills of her own or that working is the way people pay bills to provide for her
@@ClosereverydayYes, stop it. Does a mother need to "entertain" children non-stop? How about the wonderful knowlege her children will be exposed to instead of the toxic substances in cosmetics and foods? You need to up your intellect.
Just ordered everything. I am desperate to help my husband who has stage 4 cancer who cannot sleep because of RLS and anxiety even with medication given by his oncologists. I've felt so helpless. We just want sleep! Good sleep. So now I can do something to help him. Thank you for this recipe and to all the commenters who are giving us hope.
I used to make a magnesium muscle balm to use in my massage practice and had tremendous results with it. I found that adding a small amount (like 1 tsp) of potassium chloride took it to the next level.
@@pursuingpurity596 That's a good question. The first time I made the magnesium balm, I added the potassium chloride on a whim (approximately 1tsp to 1 cup of magnesium chloride). I had great success with it and soon used it up. The next batch wasn't the same, not as effective. I thought back to what might be different and remembered the salt substitute I'd added. Every subsequent batch received a touch of potassium chloride and always worked wonderfully. I'm sorry I can't explain why or how it works synergistically with magnesium to relax tight muscles, I only know that it does...
@littlequeen22 , I'll be making this recipe soon. I definitely need help sleeping, and hoping this magnesium lotion helps, of course. I'd like to ask you, 'how' did you use your lotion? Did you rub it on the bottom of your feet? your wrists? stomach? elsewhere???
Gonna order Ingredients tomorrow. CANT WAIT to make it for me and my mother in law. OH 1 THING. Never Add Essential Oils to Hot Mixtures. You lose its properties. Always wait till its luke warm or Room Temperature. 😉
I want to thank you for having a proper tutorial. A lot of channels want you to join their patreon to give you the tutorial and recipe! This tutorial was very easy to understand and informative. I love that you make clean products!
I agree. You shouldn't have to pay a monthly patreon membership fee in order to get a recipe that SHOULD be offered at no cost. That seems wrong to me and I won't do it.
I've never thought of making my own magnesium lotion until now. I like that you listed the ingredients, measurements and explained each step. I also thought it was adorable how your little girl followed you around. Thank you for the content.
3/4 cup Olive Oil 5 TBSP Shae Butter (bring EVOO up to 1 cup) 2 TBSP Bees Wax Double Boiler med/high heat till melted and combined Pour into Food processor 1 Cup Ancient Minerals Magnesium Chlorate Oil " Magnesium brine" Pour in very slowly stream into food processor to emulsify Add essential oil for scent. 96 drops
I was having weird muscle symptoms with my legs feeling kind of shaky and of course I have always dealt with leg cramps. I had a bottle of the magnesium spray and one night decided to start using it. I just a quick 5 spritz spray on my ankle, rubbed it in and used what was on my hands on my elbows. I realized quickly that I needed to do this when I was ready to go to sleep because within about 30 minutes I was out. I would sleep hard for several hours until I woke up to use the bathroom. And then easily fall back to sleep. I stopped using it this summer and have paid for it with muscle and joint aches and my tinnitus seems to be so much worse. So I’m back to using it.
Omega 3 fatty acid 2000 mg helped at the height of inflammation for me due to autoimmune disease. I had joint pain and tinnitus . The pain was so bad that I quit sugar which caused alot of inflammation that quickly ended a year long battle with plantar’s fasciitis. I supplement Magnesium daily as well to keep inflammation in check. Changing your diet really prevents it. Also gluten is a big inflammatory and you don’t have to be gluten intolerant. I hope your health improves , it’s very debilitating to deal with pain. It was starting to break me.
I just wanted to stop in and THANK YOU for posting this recipe! I use it for all of my family (including babies, older parents and siblings!) I also use this in my business and the response I’ve had from everyone that has purchased it has been overwhelming! There’s something so satisfying when you’re helping people live their best lives! So again, THANK YOU🫶🏼💗✨🙏🏼may God bless you and your family!
Thank you for sharing this! I’ve had restless leg syndrome since I was a small child & I’m now 60. It has flared up again much worse than ever before after some very stressful major surgeries I had to have. I use this lotion & it helps almost immediately! I put it on my legs to help stop cramping, too, & on my back where I had surgery -it hurts the most in that area. I have a constant deep ache that gives me other chronic pain & I can’t sleep because of it all. I take oral supplements of 2 different magnesiums & this lotion actually works best! No unpleasant side effects! I’ll try this recipe next time I buy groceries. God bless you for such a giving heart!
I have been using magnesium lotion for over 3 yrs after I watch ur video and also i am using magnesium capsule 250mg i fill my own capsule results are amazing it has improve my metabolism immensely. Great admiration for a mom who’s taking time out of her busy schedule to post recipes.
@@tinahale1471 I am using capsule filling machine and using size zero capsule for capsule i am using Magnesium glycinate and for lotion ancient magnesium she's sharing. thanls for inquiring
@@tinahale1471 Sorry i just saw ur message. I am using capsule filling machine which fills 100 size 0 capsule, spread 25 gm magnesium of over the holes, I am using magnesium glycinate I did used chloride but it absorbed moisture which made capsule watery.
Do you supplement with magnesium? Have you tried using it on your skin? How has it helped you? Get the printable recipe card -> bumblebeeapothecary.com/best-organic-magnesium-lotion-recipe/
Thank you so much for the recipe. I will try making this as one I made with coconut oil with a blender, separated. I use magnesium daily to prevent restless legs and migraines. I didn't use it for a month or so, and it came back. I got up, put some magnesium oil on the legs, took some internally and 10-15 minutes later was able to sleep.
I'm going to add this, maybe it has been addressed in comments but when you say add shea butter to your 3/4 cup oil until it reaches 1 cup mark you are less 1 TBL of the recipe calling for 5TBL shea butter (1/4 cup is only 4TBL). It seems to be working as you did it so maybe you will want to update your recipe to reflect the actual amount of shea butter you've used. Just a tip not intended as a slam or slight. Thank you for sharing!
I haven't made magnesium lotion in a few years and recently, I've had requests for it. Couldn't find my recipe and I thought I'd look on TH-cam for a comparable one. I like yours better because it's less steps AND you use a food processor! Thanks so so so much for sharing this ❤️ ❤️ ❤️!!!
I just made this but used sweet almond oil n it made 3 ball jars scented in French lavender. It’s so light n feels great, I had a lil left for a tester n my hubby said it has worked a treat for his spinal injury pain ( he had a car accident 7yrs ago) Thanks heaps for sharing xx
I recently found your channel, and stumbled across this video accidentally. I am so glad you made this one, I think my husband may have a magnesium deficiency. We have been battling his migraines and sleeplessness for years with no progress. I had no idea magnesium did so much. I'm hoping this helps him. Thank you! Thank you so much!
@@ambehak4744, migrain quick fix: Epsom Salts is pure magnesium, a pinch, disolve in cold water, 3 big sips, chase with a tall glass of water, results at 8 minutes. Save remainder, at 20 minutes if headache threatens to return, repeate doses. Deficiency dose is higher for first 3 days, then find your needs. Burn high amounts of magnesium for any stress. Highest stress is pe-stici-des, then gee emm ohs. Best repair :Floressence Tea removes heavy metals and pesticides gently over 3 to 4 months or 4 to 6 boxes. Insomnia ends day 15, and anxiety and depression slowly dissappear over the next weeks and months . Floride wrecks it 40%. Distilled water in plastic wrecks it 60%. So use well water or distilled water in your glass gallons, 2 per 3 week box. May repeate same 3 months yearly. Not used during pregnancy, may threaten to end it.
Lotion the size og a walnut on back of lower legs and feet and a magnesium capsule every night before bed. I promise you it will go away. Before that I would have been almost willing to have my legs amputated to below the knees every night!
@@Milklatte make that a small walnut😂. And remember if you get more magnesium than you need it will just flush out of your body “naturally” so dont worry!
I made this a while back from 1 first video you uploaded, and it 100% stopped my son's growing leg gramps (hes 2) and it stopped my cyatic pains, and helped improve sleep. That being said, notes: add essential oils to cover the smell of the tallow (smells like dog food). Possibly research better emulsifiers (mine seeped over half the magnesium oil out the first day :/) You can do double the magnesium portion to one portion of water for double potency with less possible seeping. Ive recently run out of the oil, and will be making more!😍❤️ Thank you for this video!!!
I love making my magnesium lotion w/jojoba oil because the molecules in jojoba are able to penetrate deeper than some other oils. I also really like beef tallow as well, though it does tend to go rancid if not used in a timely fashion~ usually not an issue. =) Magnesium is one of those things that nearly all people are deficient in. Every possible way of supplementing it is a good thing! There are now even magnesium "float spas" where you can soak in a big pod full of I believe around 1,500 lbs of dissolved magnesium~ haven't done it yet, but I'd sure like to. =) It's hard to justify spending that much money, as I believe it's around $50 per 30 minutes or so~ yikes! Just found the "Ancient Minerals" brand last year, bought an 8lb bag of the crystal flakes. I think they sell it in 25 & 50 lb qty as well, if a person were getting serious about making mag lotion/oil/salve. Excellent source, imho.
Thank you, I'm sharing this...I been taking oral magnesium but tried topical magnesium over a year ago, WoW!! I'm off of several prescriptions, with my Dr's blessing, and what a difference it's made. Magnesium changed so many things in my universe, I'm 55 & don't mind growing older, especially with my new found gift. I look forward 2 making this, giving it out to friends & family.
@Heidi914 helps me with migraines, RLS, anxiety, insomnia, joint/muscle/nerve pain, and even my skin feels softer. This is wonderful after working out, long hike or anything strenuous. And I sleep longer and w/ less pain.
Made a batch and LOVE it! It helps me relax within 5 minutes. Thanks you! going through your videos and making some! We LOVE your toothpaste recipe too! Making it from now on for my family. The lip balm is awesome too. getting ready to make the deodorant and tallow lotion, Love your channel!
Hello! I found this video on my feed and I’m really happy that it was recommended to me! Thank you for sharing this recipe. I love that you mentioned the most important thing to me: no sketchy ingredients. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow and I also appreciate your tips! I’m looking forward to watching your other videos. ✌🏼💖 and blessings to you and your viewers!
Just made my first batch of magnesium cream and it turned out so lovely!! It's creamy and smooth and blended up so easy! I added some eucalyptus and peppermint essential oil and it smells like heaven in a jar. I have sciatica and a friend has crippling RA so am sending her some to try...thank you so much for sharing this simple, pure recipe with us❤️👍‼️
I just made this and it turned out wonderful. I used the olive oil and shea butter like you did, and local beeswax (that came in the form of a big block and i cut off Tbs sized pieces). I will be making tallow tomorrow and can't wait to try this recipe with the tallow in place of shea butter. Thank you for sharing this great recipe.
I buy a jumbo bag of Mag Chloride once a year and simply add a few flakes to whatever I'm drinking. I can hide it in my water, coffee, etc. I also add hot water to make a spray. Super simple, and it works
This looks so great! Looking forward to trying it, and thank you for the precision about the measurements. My mom's back and husband's neck, and my own arthritis thanks you too :)
Thank you so much ! So hard to find people just using beeswax as an emulsifier. Works so so well, made something similar to you, thanks for all the tips with magnesium! Love from Ireland x
I’m really happy to find your vid and recipe. I’m also vegan so here’s a vegan alternative to beeswax which I copied from google. “Candelilla wax - As it is plant-based, it is an excellent vegan alternative to beeswax. Candelilla wax has a similar scent and melting point to beeswax, meaning that they can be used almost interchangeably. Candelilla wax is used as an ingredient in skincare products as well as candles and as a glaze in food products.”
Can't wait to try this! I'm going to infuse my oil with comfrey + other herbs & make this for my mother-in-law who is recovering from a major surgery. She has horrific foot/leg cramps at night that are more like a prolonged muscle spasm. Praying this will help her. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I appreciate how you always keep things as natural as possible!!
It’s also great to point out in all your videos to tell people that they can’t use the utensils they use to make this in general baking no matter how much they sterilise there utensils
I make magnesium oil with Epsom salt for myself and it's helped wonders for my insomnia! If I were making it for the public I'd use ancient minerals but Epsom salt is the same thing. Epsom salt baths work will too! Thanks gonna try your lotion. Blessings ~Sidney
Long story short car accident myalgia neuropathy, stroke three years ago, Epsom salts magnesium is a pure miracle. Example did a lot yesterday woke up this morning and my leg was someone was pulling taffy with my leg muscles 😮 so painful clamored for my store-bought Epsom salt lotion rubbed it on and the pain was gone within ,30 seconds‼️🥳 I was making my own spray which I always carried with me... Thank you for the recipe for lotion that is the key I want to make my own 🥰🥳🦅
I made this but a different recipe, love the magnesium benefits, was having leg cramps, Arthritis pain, Stiffness of joints etc. The recipe I have has Frankenstein, argon oil (if I spelled that right) grape seed oil and Shea butter. Its wonderful I feel so much better. thank you so much I will have to try yours
I have been really enjoying your channel so much and have been so inspired to do more of my own natural things instead of buying them premade. I have been really trying to get mag into my body with some hormone issues ive been experiencing. So this is a must for me. Thank you for all you do!!
I bought your book. Looking forward to trying the recipes. I use Magnesium tablets for leg cramping daily and I'm looking forward to trying trialing this recipe too.
Excellent. You just came up in my feed and I subscribed. Thank you. I’ve been using magnesium for over 40 years, I’ve always felt better when taking it. Great for stomach issues, sleep, and overall health and wellbeing. I will definitely be using your recommendations from this video. ❤️
Thank you so much for your excellent videos! I made some today. I wrote down the recipe correctly, but I goofed and only used 1/4 cup of olive oil instead of 3/4. It's pretty thick and a wee bit sticky on the skin, but it's probably still workable. If it gets too solid, can I reheat it and add in more olive oil like you did the magnesium brine? TIA! Also, I used frankincense EO. It's anti-inflammatory, increases transdermal absorption, and is also a preservative!
Looks like a great recipe and perfect timing husband was just asking for lotion and this looks like the perfect one…thank you so much for sharing…stay blessed
Hi Marissa, thank you for sharing💕 I made this recipe twice and both times the magnesium brine separated in my jar and large water beads were suspended in the cream. I used a food processor and followed your exact recipe.. wondering what I’m doing wrong and why my recipe is so watery. Any insights from anybody would be appreciated. 🙏
Thank you for all of your hard work creating and sharing your recipes. I just made a batch and also used your recipe for making magnesium oil. Could not have been simpler. I could not resist trying some while it’s still warm. Can’t wait to try it tonight and share with friends.
glad I found this right on time ,,, I was just at the lavender festival and came across a vendor that was selling lavender-infused lotion, candles, perfume, and other secrets and she was completely out of the magnesium rub and as a person with chronic pain I was very interested in that and recently was looking into investing in more natural ingredients and the next day your account was recommended on my channel as if youtube was evesdropping on me while I was shopping hah ha .. thank you for posting such easy clear straight forward recipe
I have Lupus and several other autoimmune related issues. Chronic pain. Magnesium helps me tremendously. Sore aching tight muscles feel relaxed and less issues with Headaches.
It would be nice to watch some videos about the carnivore diet for autoimmune diseases. I'd given it a try 2 months ago and I'm still on track. I feel so much better. I really wished vegan would help because I feel bad about eating animals tho
DO NOT pour the HOT OIL mixture into a PLASTIC container (food processor)! You may not see the plastic melting away before your eyes, but the heat makes the plastic to release toxins into whatever you are processing. The centripetal force of the spinning blade makes this release even easier. Plastic and heat are a very toxic combination, and it will mess up your estrogen levels too -- even for "microwave safe" containers, it's not safe! She seems somewhat aware of the dangers of plastic, though. When she said she would store the lotion in a glass jar because plastic would be too toxic, I laughed out loud. The heat in the food processor did enough damage already!
I am going to try this . I was having body cramps( and they were all over my body ) atleast 30 to 40 a day. It was so uncomfortable that i wanted to lie down and have a good cry. I had heard that magnesium helped so i went to Sam's and found the Magnesium Gummies. Relief was almost instant. I take 2 gummies a day and i no longer have body cramps. Thanks for sharing this lotion idea.
After watching your video, I made the magnesium lotion and it really helped with my sleep. I use it every night. It has so many benefits so thank you for sharing.
This is very close to the recipe I've been developing, except for a couple of things, so it's a huge help! Thank you. What I'm doing differently is using Emu oil (not vegan/vegetarian friendly, I know) and then using the part of resulting cream as a base for a lotion with magnesium bicarbonate water. I'm wondering about heat. I bought raw Shea butter and all other oils are cold pressed or as minimally processed as possible. So, why would I then heat those above 120° and kill the enzymes that keeping them raw is meant to preserve? My idea to solve this is to melt the wax first, let it cool some, add Shea butter and other oils as the mixture gets closer to their melting points. It seems to me like this is the best way to preserve all the benefits of these amazing oils. Any thoughts?
That's great! I'm definitely not vegan, I love my grass fed tallow :) Yes, I think what you described should work to avoid the high heat. Let me know how it turns out!
@@BumblebeeApothecary Where did you get it? Is it flavorless? I don't know anything about it. I saw an ad for lard on Amazon yesterday and someone said it ruined her pie... it's lard and tallow the same thing?
@@mrazik131 I'm wondering if using an immersion blender would work better? I don't want to ruin my food processor with waxy mess. I've seen other balms emulsified by using an immersion blender in the glass jar. Tricky thing would be pouring the magnesium slowly into the glass jar while using the immersion blender! I'm still going to try it though. I love Marisa's magnesium lotion am a repeat customer. It works wonderfully for RLS. and Leg cramps.
I make my own magnesium oil. I spray it on every night before bed. I suffer from terrible dreams. As weird as it sounds, it seems to help with a more restful sleep. I need to remember to spay it on when I forget and have a rough night sleeping. Thank you for your videos
Hi, thank you for the recipe and hope you are doing well. I had a couple questions. Can you make magnesium tallow balm instead? Do you NEED to use the beeswax? Can/ how do you make your own magnesium brine? Thank you in advance!
You are a gentle and thorough teacher. Glad I found your channel. My local healthy store encoraged me to use Magnesium supplements (NutraBio Mg). I am sleeping better and my bowels are more regular. I also plan to buy your lotion.
Thank you! I was looking for a simple recipe for this, and after watching a few others, yours is so easy! Thanks for info, look forward to trying it with shea butter and another batch with tallow. I followed your instructions for making tallow and I love it!
Thank you for sharing your passion, and for having empathy too..I am going to try your natural recepies for my personal use first.. I am into energy healing (reiki and crystal therapy) besides other holistic approaches.. Your passion go into alignment too for me,to expand more and yo provide more choices,in particular to pamper women..! I am grateful for your service..💟🙏💚🌺💠
Dear Marisa, thank you so much for your great work! I already made a magnesium deodorant, use as spray on my hairs too! I was so amazed that it made my colored hair softer! I wore it couple hours and then washed my hair with a shampoo - and I easily brushed it with no conditioner 😮🔥 Marisa is there a way to use cocoa butter instead of shea in magnesium lotion? Thank you in advance 🤗♥️
Thank you for your video. I love that you are committed to using pure and simple ingredients. It is sometimes difficult to find natural preservatives and if one does, the prices are not home use friendly.
I used to make lotions and creams for pain relief. A tip is, it can be much easier quicker and cleaner if you determine the weight of your ingredients by the gram and then measure then into your container. Just tare the scale after each addition. We used stainless steel pots but we we’re making gallons of it. Lip balms and other smaller things we used a regular sized pot. An emulsifier wand is great also for blending. Check to see what temp your ingredients can tolerate before they are rendered inactive. (We could only hear to 160 because of vitamin D.) Thanks for posting this 😊 if I can find all the ingredients (we moved to a new area) I might try this to see if it helps with sleep.
I just made this switching out the olive oil for leaf fat tallow (using your wet method) and it turned out BEAUTIFULLY! I’m OBSESSED! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and experience with us! I doubled the recipe and I can hardly stand to part with it! Thank goodness it only used half my tallow cake. Off to make another scent! This double batch I did 1/2 unscented and the other half I added (1/2t organic eucalyptus & 1/2t organic spearmint essential oils) my son & husband’s favorite scent! (Think B&BW only good for you!OBSESSED👏👏)
Hi there...first of all I want to thank you for sharing your recipes :) I am wondering if one should be considering the different forms of magnesium here, or is there only one type that is available for this?
I love your channel. Your children are so adorable. Thank you for sharing your recipe. My husband and I have had restless leg syndrome I will have to try this.
I made this recipe and love it. It makes the skin feel so good. I have pain issues, fibromyalgia and arthritis, and put about a teaspoon of arnica powder in a jar of this lotion and stirred it in. It changed the consistency but helps the pain a lot. I wonder if I blended it in the beginning with the oils if it would be smoother, and then add the magnesium. Have you any experience mixing in powders?
Thank you! What a great idea about the arnica! I haven't tried any powders. But I know you can get arnica gel, and I wonder if mixing some of that in would work.
@@sweetmountainbaby I added arnica and boswellia powders to the warm oil and blended and the consistency was better. I have pain issues as well as sleep issues, hence the powders. For sleeping, Marissa's recipe is terrific. Her recipes show a great attention to detail and feel and look good.
I use magnesium and love your lotion. I cannot find the link for the ebook recipes. I am 74 and have used home made products for years. Is there a body butter recipe?
@@BumblebeeApothecary Marisa you are awesome and extremely sweet :) I would like to know if there's something natural I can pour down the sink due to the fat content (I'm afraid of blockage as I live in England and pipes are all year round pretty much way too cold). Many many thanks!
Just made this! It was so easy. I used half olive oil and half sesame oil infused with fresh calendula flower and lavender flower, shea butter and a little bit of tallow for my ingredients. For essential oil I used lavender and an essential love blend (floral smelling) from my local co-op. The lotion though after applying to my body feels very sticky...it has stained my clothes :(

There is a great video from She Is Of The Woods,on how to make your own magnesium oil! Helps saving money if your trying;) Basically half Hot water,half magnesium,but it helps to watch the video,very informative!
You can also use Magnesium flakes in your bath or foot bath. Much easier to do for all
@@ritasaragosa3829I agree. I do that all the time.
I just buy a canister of the powdered magnesium (which lasts a long time, even if you make it mixed with water as per directions in order to drink it), then mix a teaspoonful of the powder with about a teaspoonful or so of very hot water ( so it dissolves to clear into the water).
It will foam up with a "whoosh" and then you will just see clear water.
After it cools a bit, I just splash it on my skin (like arms and legs, tummy, etc.)
I wouldn't put it on my face only because it may feel a little "sticky" for a while and face delicate facial skin feel a little dry or tight.
I keep some around just in case of leg or foot cramps, because splashing it on will give immediate relief.
But following the directions on the canister, and mixing it with water to drink, should keep away any muscle cramps anyway, if you use it daily or a few times per week as a supplement.
@@lynnethievin4827 but you won’t get the same concentration in a bath full of water. Rubbing cream with the magnesium on your skin is stronger and more effective.
@@ritasaragosa3829What a boorish comment to make on this channel!
three quarter olive oil, 5 tablespoons shea butter, 2 tablespoons of beeswax then heat at medium-high heat once it melted, one cup of magnesium oil or Bryne ( ancient mineral brand:) and add to the food processor together just like you would make mayonnaise and you can put essential oil like lavender 96 drops and make it cool put in a glass container and cool it. you can use it for six months
Hope I can get a answer from someone, I know you comment a month ago.
I did everything she said last night exactly the recipe, I don’t have a food processor, did in a pan on stove to melt everything.
But it was very oily- I let it sit for awhile it never thickened- put in Frig overnight to see if wound set up- it did a little, but still a lot of oil- I tried doing my mixer to get smooth & creamy- but it never did! Waste a lot of ingredients & $. What did I do wrong? Hope could tell me
@@cherylrightnour9918you need the blender or food processor to get the ingredients to combine properly.
96 drops of essential oil sounds excessive
@@waxiificationexactly, it looks really nice and healthy but, 96 is too much I think putting about 6-8 drops cause is enough, Lavender or any other are very concentrated.
If too oily add a teaspoon to a tablespoon of Arrowroot powder to the melted oil. Add it gradually and break up any clumps with a fork. I don’t use a food processor and have made very nice lotions-not this one.
I'm 60 years old and have so much problems with my body I can't wait to try this.i believe Jesus brought me to your channel as I've been asking him to show me what is wrong with me. I'll let you know how it goes
I live alone in a swamp in my van. I take a half used pound jar of mag chloride crystals and pour the best olive oil I can find to an inch above the crystals and just let it soak for a month. I stir a few times. The oil absorbs a lot. I let the crystals that are still solid settle and skim myself some for deep tissue massage. Old people need lots of massage for feet ankles hands and wrists with magnesium. Me old.
Onwards, sailors of the world!

Magnesium saved my life!!! Around April 2019 I was trying to figure how many more years I could live with the pain in my back before I offed myself! For months I had been seeing this commercial about a product called Theraworx that contains magnesium, and how it stopped muscle cramps in its tracks. A friend tried it and said it was amazing! I have a major muscle group injury in my back that began with a hernia just to the right of my spine. The first time I tried it, tears of relief streamed down the sides of my face!! I hadn't been able to take a full breath in a decade! All of the pain and tension just melted away!! Then I discovered magnesium liquid pills, and with that I was able to relieve pain I wasn't even aware I was having!! So, long story short, thanks to magnesium, I no longer think about offing myself!!
Same! Herniated disks in my neck and pain in every joint. When I discovered theraworxx I cried because the doctor told me I could no longer take Allieve or Advil bc autoimmune disease and my stomach. I didn’t know what to do with the 24/7 pain. Later I discovered 2000 mg of omega 3 fish oil and it got rid of the inflammation of joint pain. I take 400 mg of magnesium (can prev) Glycinate daily now to help prevent inflammation too.
Big hug for a mom who’s taking time out of her busy schedule to post recipes and make a TH-cam video. Love your little assistant showing up on the bottom of the screeen. Thank you.❤️🙏🏻
I was thinking how bored the little girl seems. I'm figuring dad will entertain her when he gets home. At least I hope so since mom surely isn't 🤷♀️
@@ClosereverydayI’m sure she can practice some resillience skills for the entire ten minutes or so she may of had to entertain herself… maybe she even learns her mother is a great example of having skills of her own or that working is the way people pay bills to provide for her

@@ClosereverydayYes, stop it. Does a mother need to "entertain" children non-stop? How about the wonderful knowlege her children will be exposed to instead of the toxic substances in cosmetics and foods? You need to up your intellect.
Just ordered everything. I am desperate to help my husband who has stage 4 cancer who cannot sleep because of RLS and anxiety even with medication given by his oncologists. I've felt so helpless. We just want sleep! Good sleep. So now I can do something to help him. Thank you for this recipe and to all the commenters who are giving us hope.
I'm glad I could help! I hope everything goes well for you!

I used to make a magnesium muscle balm to use in my massage practice and had tremendous results with it. I found that adding a small amount (like 1 tsp) of potassium chloride took it to the next level.
What does the potassium chloride do to it?
@@pursuingpurity596 That's a good question. The first time I made the magnesium balm, I added the potassium chloride on a whim (approximately 1tsp to 1 cup of magnesium chloride). I had great success with it and soon used it up. The next batch wasn't the same, not as effective. I thought back to what might be different and remembered the salt substitute I'd added. Every subsequent batch received a touch of potassium chloride and always worked wonderfully. I'm sorry I can't explain why or how it works synergistically with magnesium to relax tight muscles, I only know that it does...
@@SaintTrinianz do u have a recipe?
@@samiolson9538 I just modified a recipe I found online (Wellness Mama)
Yes, more electrolytes that work together to help muscles and nerves work. Wonderful idea, thank you for sharing!
I made your recipe a few weeks ago. My sleep has improved 100%!!! I’m now making jars for friends and family. Thank you so much.
So glad to hear it! You're welcome :)
@littlequeen22 , I'll be making this recipe soon. I definitely need help sleeping, and hoping this magnesium lotion helps, of course. I'd like to ask you, 'how' did you use your lotion? Did you rub it on the bottom of your feet? your wrists? stomach? elsewhere???
Gonna order Ingredients tomorrow. CANT WAIT to make it for me and my mother in law. OH 1 THING. Never Add Essential Oils to Hot Mixtures. You lose its properties. Always wait till its luke warm or Room Temperature. 😉
I thought that too.
The same way you should not add honey to hot ingredients, right?
I want to thank you for having a proper tutorial. A lot of channels want you to join their patreon to give you the tutorial and recipe! This tutorial was very easy to understand and informative. I love that you make clean products!
I agree. You shouldn't have to pay a monthly patreon membership fee in order to get a recipe that SHOULD be offered at no cost. That seems wrong to me and I won't do it.

I've never thought of making my own magnesium lotion until now. I like that you listed the ingredients, measurements and explained each step. I also thought it was adorable how your little girl followed you around. Thank you for the content.
3/4 cup Olive Oil
5 TBSP Shae Butter (bring EVOO up to 1 cup)
2 TBSP Bees Wax
Double Boiler med/high heat till melted and combined
Pour into Food processor
1 Cup Ancient Minerals Magnesium Chlorate Oil " Magnesium brine"
Pour in very slowly stream into food processor to emulsify
Add essential oil for scent. 96 drops
I just wanted to say how adorable your little girl is. I see that this is 3 years ago. I hope that she is still following Mommy everywhere! 💕
Thank you! :)
Would this be safe to use as a moisturizer for hands several times a day
I was having weird muscle symptoms with my legs feeling kind of shaky and of course I have always dealt with leg cramps. I had a bottle of the magnesium spray and one night decided to start using it. I just a quick 5 spritz spray on my ankle, rubbed it in and used what was on my hands on my elbows. I realized quickly that I needed to do this when I was ready to go to sleep because within about 30 minutes I was out. I would sleep hard for several hours until I woke up to use the bathroom. And then easily fall back to sleep. I stopped using it this summer and have paid for it with muscle and joint aches and my tinnitus seems to be so much worse. So I’m back to using it.
Omega 3 fatty acid 2000 mg helped at the height of inflammation for me due to autoimmune disease. I had joint pain and tinnitus . The pain was so bad that I quit sugar which caused alot of inflammation that quickly ended a year long battle with plantar’s fasciitis. I supplement Magnesium daily as well to keep inflammation in check. Changing your diet really prevents it. Also gluten is a big inflammatory and you don’t have to be gluten intolerant. I hope your health improves , it’s very debilitating to deal with pain. It was starting to break me.
I just wanted to stop in and THANK YOU for posting this recipe! I use it for all of my family (including babies, older parents and siblings!) I also use this in my business and the response I’ve had from everyone that has purchased it has been overwhelming! There’s something so satisfying when you’re helping people live their best lives! So again, THANK YOU🫶🏼💗✨🙏🏼may God bless you and your family!
Thank you for sharing this! I’ve had restless leg syndrome since I was a small child & I’m now 60. It has flared up again much worse than ever before after some very stressful major surgeries I had to have. I use this lotion & it helps almost immediately! I put it on my legs to help stop cramping, too, & on my back where I had surgery -it hurts the most in that area. I have a constant deep ache that gives me other chronic pain & I can’t sleep because of it all. I take oral supplements of 2 different magnesiums & this lotion actually works best! No unpleasant side effects! I’ll try this recipe next time I buy groceries. God bless you for such a giving heart!
I have been using magnesium lotion for over 3 yrs after I watch ur video and also i am using magnesium capsule 250mg i fill my own capsule results are amazing it has improve my metabolism immensely. Great admiration for a mom who’s taking time out of her busy schedule to post recipes.
Hello, how do you get the 250 mg? Are you using this ancient magnesium that she's sharing? Thank you
@@tinahale1471 I am using capsule filling machine and using size zero capsule for capsule i am using Magnesium glycinate and for lotion ancient magnesium she's sharing. thanls for inquiring
@@tinahale1471 Sorry i just saw ur message. I am using capsule filling machine which fills 100 size 0 capsule, spread 25 gm magnesium of over the holes, I am using magnesium glycinate I did used chloride but it absorbed moisture which made capsule watery.

Do you supplement with magnesium? Have you tried using it on your skin? How has it helped you? Get the printable recipe card -> bumblebeeapothecary.com/best-organic-magnesium-lotion-recipe/
Omg, i must try this. I usually soak in epsom salts, but would love this.
Thank you so much for the recipe. I will try making this as one I made with coconut oil with a blender, separated. I use magnesium daily to prevent restless legs and migraines. I didn't use it for a month or so, and it came back. I got up, put some magnesium oil on the legs, took some internally and 10-15 minutes later was able to sleep.
Isn't it incredible? I'm so glad it's been helpful for you, too! I share a similar experience :)
@@BumblebeeApothecary where can I find the recipe
You took this recipe internally? 😬 how is that when it’s a lotion?
I'm going to add this, maybe it has been addressed in comments but when you say add shea butter to your 3/4 cup oil until it reaches 1 cup mark you are less 1 TBL of the recipe calling for 5TBL shea butter (1/4 cup is only 4TBL). It seems to be working as you did it so maybe you will want to update your recipe to reflect the actual amount of shea butter you've used. Just a tip not intended as a slam or slight. Thank you for sharing!
I absolutely LOVE your voice and your lotion making!!! Thank you for all the goodness to take care of our families!!!❤️💕😇
Thank you so much! :)
I haven't made magnesium lotion in a few years and recently, I've had requests for it. Couldn't find my recipe and I thought I'd look on TH-cam for a comparable one. I like yours better because it's less steps AND you use a food processor! Thanks so so so much for sharing this ❤️ ❤️ ❤️!!!
I just made this but used sweet almond oil n it made 3 ball jars scented in French lavender.
It’s so light n feels great, I had a lil left for a tester n my hubby said it has worked a treat for his spinal injury pain ( he had a car accident 7yrs ago)
Thanks heaps for sharing xx
Wonderful! Thanks for letting me know!
@@BumblebeeApothecary your welcome 🙏
I made my dr some to n he loves it. My mother in law got some for Christmas as she has Rheumatoid Arthritis
Hi sweet almond oil instead of olive oil ? I have horrible spine pain.
As soon as that hot oil hit the plastic processor it released the micro plastics and toxins. 😢 Might want to use the Immersion blender like you said ❤
My doctor friend said that if it feels tingly or itchy, it’s a sign of magnesium deficiency. So, continue using.
I recently found your channel, and stumbled across this video accidentally. I am so glad you made this one, I think my husband may have a magnesium deficiency. We have been battling his migraines and sleeplessness for years with no progress. I had no idea magnesium did so much. I'm hoping this helps him. Thank you! Thank you so much!
Is it possible to take other tablets such as Ashwagandha whilst using magnesium butter, or is it not recommended to combine with other things?
I do. Seems to help more.
@@ambehak4744, migrain quick fix: Epsom Salts is pure magnesium, a pinch, disolve in cold water, 3 big sips, chase with a tall glass of water, results at 8 minutes. Save remainder, at 20 minutes if headache threatens to return, repeate doses. Deficiency dose is higher for first 3 days, then find your needs. Burn high amounts of magnesium for any stress. Highest stress is pe-stici-des, then gee emm ohs. Best repair :Floressence Tea removes heavy metals and pesticides gently over 3 to 4 months or 4 to 6 boxes. Insomnia ends day 15, and anxiety and depression slowly dissappear over the next weeks and months . Floride wrecks it 40%. Distilled water in plastic wrecks it 60%. So use well water or distilled water in your glass gallons, 2 per 3 week box. May repeate same 3 months yearly. Not used during pregnancy, may threaten to end it.
You never popped up on my YT til today. Thank you for the recipe. I’m going to try this. ❤
I completely got rid of RLS with magnesium! As in not a touch of it left!
Where did you apply and how often? Thanks
Lotion the size og a walnut on back of lower legs and feet and a magnesium capsule every night before bed. I promise you it will go away. Before that I would have been almost willing to have my legs amputated to below the knees every night!
@@birgittebernstein9167 thanks for the reply!
@@Milklatte make that a small walnut😂. And remember if you get more magnesium than you need it will just flush out of your body “naturally” so dont worry!
Wow! I am making this as soon as I get the magnesium oil! I have suffered with rls for 20 years!!!
I made this a while back from 1 first video you uploaded, and it 100% stopped my son's growing leg gramps (hes 2) and it stopped my cyatic pains, and helped improve sleep.
That being said, notes: add essential oils to cover the smell of the tallow (smells like dog food). Possibly research better emulsifiers (mine seeped over half the magnesium oil out the first day :/)
You can do double the magnesium portion to one portion of water for double potency with less possible seeping.
Ive recently run out of the oil, and will be making more!😍❤️ Thank you for this video!!!
I love making my magnesium lotion w/jojoba oil because the molecules in jojoba are able to penetrate deeper than some other oils. I also really like beef tallow as well, though it does tend to go rancid if not used in a timely fashion~ usually not an issue. =)
Magnesium is one of those things that nearly all people are deficient in. Every possible way of supplementing it is a good thing! There are now even magnesium "float spas" where you can soak in a big pod full of I believe around 1,500 lbs of dissolved magnesium~ haven't done it yet, but I'd sure like to. =) It's hard to justify spending that much money, as I believe it's around $50 per 30 minutes or so~ yikes!
Just found the "Ancient Minerals" brand last year, bought an 8lb bag of the crystal flakes. I think they sell it in 25 & 50 lb qty as well, if a person were getting serious about making mag lotion/oil/salve. Excellent source, imho.
Do you add the flakes before or after melting bee wax
How much tallow did you use? Did you omit Shea butter and beeswax?
Thank you, I'm sharing this...I been taking oral magnesium but tried topical magnesium over a year ago, WoW!! I'm off of several prescriptions, with my Dr's blessing, and what a difference it's made. Magnesium changed so many things in my universe, I'm 55 & don't mind growing older, especially with my new found gift. I look forward 2 making this, giving it out to friends & family.
Can I ask what it has helped you out with?
@Heidi914 helps me with migraines, RLS, anxiety, insomnia, joint/muscle/nerve pain, and even my skin feels softer. This is wonderful after working out, long hike or anything strenuous. And I sleep longer and w/ less pain.
What is tropical Magnesium? Where did you get it? Would love to try that too? TY if can reply
@cherylrightnour9918 magnesium lotion, oil, gel, and u can also get it in roll-on & spray. I buy Life-Flo, but there r other great brands, too.
Made a batch and LOVE it! It helps me relax within 5 minutes. Thanks you! going through your videos and making some! We LOVE your toothpaste recipe too! Making it from now on for my family. The lip balm is awesome too. getting ready to make the deodorant and tallow lotion, Love your channel!

Just made my first batch of magnesium cream and it turned out so lovely!! It's creamy and smooth and blended up so easy! I added some eucalyptus and peppermint essential oil and it smells like heaven in a jar. I have sciatica and a friend has crippling RA so am sending her some to try...thank you so much for sharing this simple, pure recipe with us❤️👍‼️
I just made this and it turned out wonderful. I used the olive oil and shea butter like you did, and local beeswax (that came in the form of a big block and i cut off Tbs sized pieces). I will be making tallow tomorrow and can't wait to try this recipe with the tallow in place of shea butter. Thank you for sharing this great recipe.
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing!
Yo uso el aceite de magnesio solo o agregado al aceite de moringa y es realmente fantástico
I buy a jumbo bag of Mag Chloride once a year and simply add a few flakes to whatever I'm drinking. I can hide it in my water, coffee, etc. I also add hot water to make a spray. Super simple, and it works
To make the spray, how much hot water and how much of the flakes?
This looks so great! Looking forward to trying it, and thank you for the precision about the measurements. My mom's back and husband's neck, and my own arthritis thanks you too :)
Your're welcome! :)
Do you have RA arthritis? I’d imagine it helps. I hear castor oil is also good for arthritis.
Wow! Where did you learn your knowledge,I am hooked! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much ! So hard to find people just using beeswax as an emulsifier. Works so so well, made something similar to you, thanks for all the tips with magnesium! Love from Ireland x
You are so welcome!
Beeswax is NOT an emulsifier. It is a wax used for hardening balms and salves.
I’m really happy to find your vid and recipe. I’m also vegan so here’s a vegan alternative to beeswax which I copied from google. “Candelilla wax - As it is plant-based, it is an excellent vegan alternative to beeswax. Candelilla wax has a similar scent and melting point to beeswax, meaning that they can be used almost interchangeably. Candelilla wax is used as an ingredient in skincare products as well as candles and as a glaze in food products.”
Can't wait to try this! I'm going to infuse my oil with comfrey + other herbs & make this for my mother-in-law who is recovering from a major surgery. She has horrific foot/leg cramps at night that are more like a prolonged muscle spasm. Praying this will help her. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I appreciate how you always keep things as natural as possible!!
Might also be caused by low potassium
It’s also great to point out in all your videos to tell people that they can’t use the utensils they use to make this in general baking no matter how much they sterilise there utensils
Can I ask why? May be a dumb question but I’m just learning 😀
I make magnesium oil with Epsom salt for myself and it's helped wonders for my insomnia! If I were making it for the public I'd use ancient minerals but Epsom salt is the same thing. Epsom salt baths work will too! Thanks gonna try your lotion. Blessings ~Sidney
I’m so glad it’s helped you! I love epsom salt baths, too 😊 Blessings to you also!
Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate not magnesium chloride. I prefer Epsom because the sulfate portion is detoxifying. How do you make your solution?
Why not use both?
Long story short car accident myalgia neuropathy, stroke three years ago, Epsom salts magnesium is a pure miracle.
Example did a lot yesterday woke up this morning and my leg was someone was pulling taffy with my leg muscles 😮 so painful clamored for my store-bought Epsom salt lotion rubbed it on and the pain was gone within ,30 seconds‼️🥳
I was making my own spray which I always carried with me... Thank you for the recipe for lotion that is the key I want to make my own 🥰🥳🦅
Love the fact that you use all natural ingredients 👍❤
Yes! :)
I found this recipe on your website last fall and made several batches and gave them as Christmas gifts.
I made this but a different recipe, love the magnesium benefits, was having leg cramps, Arthritis pain, Stiffness of joints etc. The recipe I have has Frankenstein, argon oil (if I spelled that right) grape seed oil and Shea butter.
Its wonderful I feel so much better. thank you so much I will have to try yours
Please would you mind sharing you recepie with me please sounds good for arthritic pain Thankyou 😊
new subscriber. really enjoyed the tutorial.....will definitely try this method
Glad to hear it! :)
I have been really enjoying your channel so much and have been so inspired to do more of my own natural things instead of buying them premade. I have been really trying to get mag into my body with some hormone issues ive been experiencing. So this is a must for me. Thank you for all you do!!
You're very welcome!
Just made this for my 4 year old and believing it’s going to help with the leg pain he’s been having. Thanks for the easy to follow recipe!
Thank you for sharing this with us! It’s amazing and I absolutely love making it! You are a blessing 🙏🏻
I bought your book. Looking forward to trying the recipes. I use Magnesium tablets for leg cramping daily and I'm looking forward to trying trialing this recipe too.
Excellent. You just came up in my feed and I subscribed. Thank you. I’ve been using magnesium for over 40 years, I’ve always felt better when taking it. Great for stomach issues, sleep, and overall health and wellbeing. I will definitely be using your recommendations from this video. ❤️
Thank you so much for your excellent videos! I made some today. I wrote down the recipe correctly, but I goofed and only used 1/4 cup of olive oil instead of 3/4. It's pretty thick and a wee bit sticky on the skin, but it's probably still workable. If it gets too solid, can I reheat it and add in more olive oil like you did the magnesium brine? TIA! Also, I used frankincense EO. It's anti-inflammatory, increases transdermal absorption, and is also a preservative!
Looks like a great recipe and perfect timing husband was just asking for lotion and this looks like the perfect one…thank you so much for sharing…stay blessed
Hi Marissa, thank you for sharing💕 I made this recipe twice and both times the magnesium brine separated in my jar and large water beads were suspended in the cream. I used a food processor and followed your exact recipe.. wondering what I’m doing wrong and why my recipe is so watery. Any insights from anybody would be appreciated. 🙏
Thank you for all of your hard work creating and sharing your recipes. I just made a batch and also used your recipe for making magnesium oil. Could not have been simpler. I could not resist trying some while it’s still warm. Can’t wait to try it tonight and share with friends.
You're so welcome! Enjoy! :)
Very clever idea. I take magnesium glycinate, so I know the good benefits mg. offers.
Eager to follow your tips. Thank you so much.
Always enjoy re-watching your videos for inspiration ✨
Thank you so much, that's so sweet! :)
glad I found this right on time ,,, I was just at the lavender festival and came across a vendor that was selling lavender-infused lotion, candles, perfume, and other secrets and she was completely out of the magnesium rub and as a person with chronic pain I was very interested in that and recently was looking into investing in more natural ingredients and the next day your account was recommended on my channel as if youtube was evesdropping on me while I was shopping hah ha .. thank you for posting such easy clear straight forward recipe
You’ve made making this lotion so easy! Thanks for explaining the benefits in this video.
Thank you!
I have Lupus and several other autoimmune related issues. Chronic pain. Magnesium helps me tremendously. Sore aching tight muscles feel relaxed and less issues with Headaches.
It would be nice to watch some videos about the carnivore diet for autoimmune diseases. I'd given it a try 2 months ago and I'm still on track. I feel so much better. I really wished vegan would help because I feel bad about eating animals tho
DO NOT pour the HOT OIL mixture into a PLASTIC container (food processor)! You may not see the plastic melting away before your eyes, but the heat makes the plastic to release toxins into whatever you are processing. The centripetal force of the spinning blade makes this release even easier. Plastic and heat are a very toxic combination, and it will mess up your estrogen levels too -- even for "microwave safe" containers, it's not safe! She seems somewhat aware of the dangers of plastic, though. When she said she would store the lotion in a glass jar because plastic would be too toxic, I laughed out loud. The heat in the food processor did enough damage already!
I am going to try this . I was having body cramps( and they were all over my body ) atleast 30 to 40 a day. It was so uncomfortable that i wanted to lie down and have a good cry. I had heard that magnesium helped so i went to
Sam's and found the Magnesium Gummies. Relief was almost instant. I take 2 gummies a day and i no longer have body cramps. Thanks for sharing this lotion idea.
I'm so glad you're in less pain :)
I love this! Thank you! One thing I would probably change is blending it in a glass blender so no plastic is leached into the cream. ❤️
After watching your video, I made the magnesium lotion and it really helped with my sleep. I use it every night. It has so many benefits so thank you for sharing.
I love learning how to make the wonderful balms and lotion. You are a calming person to listen to! Also, thank you for the recipes.
Thank you so much!
Great video! I can't wait to try it.
Your little sidekick is very well behaved! (And cute!)
~Much love. :)
This is very close to the recipe I've been developing, except for a couple of things, so it's a huge help! Thank you. What I'm doing differently is using Emu oil (not vegan/vegetarian friendly, I know) and then using the part of resulting cream as a base for a lotion with magnesium bicarbonate water. I'm wondering about heat. I bought raw Shea butter and all other oils are cold pressed or as minimally processed as possible. So, why would I then heat those above 120° and kill the enzymes that keeping them raw is meant to preserve? My idea to solve this is to melt the wax first, let it cool some, add Shea butter and other oils as the mixture gets closer to their melting points. It seems to me like this is the best way to preserve all the benefits of these amazing oils. Any thoughts?
That's great! I'm definitely not vegan, I love my grass fed tallow :) Yes, I think what you described should work to avoid the high heat. Let me know how it turns out!
Did it work for you?
@@BumblebeeApothecary Where did you get it? Is it flavorless? I don't know anything about it. I saw an ad for lard on Amazon yesterday and someone said it ruined her pie... it's lard and tallow the same thing?
The high heat and then pour it into a plastic food processor is going to leach the plastic into the oil...keep the temp low.
@@mrazik131 I'm wondering if using an immersion blender would work better? I don't want to ruin my food processor with waxy mess. I've seen other balms emulsified by using an immersion blender in the glass jar. Tricky thing would be pouring the magnesium slowly into the glass jar while using the immersion blender! I'm still going to try it though. I love Marisa's magnesium lotion am a repeat customer. It works wonderfully for RLS. and Leg cramps.
I purchased two jars of your magnesium lotion. I made my own today using your recipe. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the free book!
LOVE THIS, THANK YOU!! I made with tallow and sunflower, it came out incredible and has been really helping my back! The consistancy is so wonderful!
Thanks for sharing!
How much tallow did you use? Did you omit the Shea and beeswax?
I am excited about trying to make this. I usually bath with Epsom Salts when I experience the first signs of deficiency.
I make my own magnesium oil. I spray it on every night before bed. I suffer from terrible dreams. As weird as it sounds, it seems to help with a more restful sleep. I need to remember to spay it on when I forget and have a rough night sleeping. Thank you for your videos
It makes a huge difference for sleep for me, too! That's great you make it yourself!
Liza , do you leave the Magnesium oil on your scalp overnight?
Sahana, no you do not put it on your scalp
I have nightmares too.. hope you apply in to your body? Or just the feet?
Thank you. Just found it. My 5 1/2 year old granddaughter wanted to know how to make
Hi, thank you for the recipe and hope you are doing well. I had a couple questions. Can you make magnesium tallow balm instead? Do you NEED to use the beeswax? Can/ how do you make your own magnesium brine?
Thank you in advance!
You are a gentle and thorough teacher. Glad I found your channel. My local healthy store encoraged me to use Magnesium supplements (NutraBio Mg). I am sleeping better and my bowels are more regular. I also plan to buy your lotion.
Thank you! I was looking for a simple recipe for this, and after watching a few others, yours is so easy! Thanks for info, look forward to trying it with shea butter and another batch with tallow. I followed your instructions for making tallow and I love it!
have you tried with tallow?
I think it really helped with my menstrual pains. Mine are so back it’s crippling.
I'm so my 1st tester said it worked and will be using it again x
Yay, I'm so glad! Thanks for letting me know :)

Dear Marisa, thank you so much for your great work! I already made a magnesium deodorant, use as spray on my hairs too! I was so amazed that it made my colored hair softer! I wore it couple hours and then washed my hair with a shampoo - and I easily brushed it with no conditioner 😮🔥 Marisa is there a way to use cocoa butter instead of shea in magnesium lotion? Thank you in advance 🤗♥️
Would a small amount of castor oil be a good idea? Maybe a Tablespoon...?
Thank you very much for sharing your recipe!
I made this with my daughter and it turned out very nice. Thank you.
Oh wonderful, thanks for letting me know! Enjoy! :)
I have made my own mag spray and love it- use it now rather than deodrant!
Thank you for your video. I love that you are committed to using pure and simple ingredients.
It is sometimes difficult to find natural preservatives and if one does, the prices are not home use friendly.
You’re welcome! It’s great to meet others who understand the importance 😊
I add some castor oil to help with absorption. I also ass the step of letting the bitter cool a bit them re whipping it so it is creamier.
I used to make lotions and creams for pain relief. A tip is, it can be much easier quicker and cleaner if you determine the weight of your ingredients by the gram and then measure then into your container. Just tare the scale after each addition. We used stainless steel pots but we we’re making gallons of it. Lip balms and other smaller things we used a regular sized pot. An emulsifier wand is great also for blending. Check to see what temp your ingredients can tolerate before they are rendered inactive. (We could only hear to 160 because of vitamin D.)
Thanks for posting this 😊 if I can find all the ingredients (we moved to a new area) I might try this to see if it helps with sleep.
I just made this switching out the olive oil for leaf fat tallow (using your wet method) and it turned out BEAUTIFULLY! I’m OBSESSED! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and experience with us! I doubled the recipe and I can hardly stand to part with it! Thank goodness it only used half my tallow cake. Off to make another scent! This double batch I did 1/2 unscented and the other half I added (1/2t organic eucalyptus & 1/2t organic spearmint essential oils) my son & husband’s favorite scent! (Think B&BW only good for you!OBSESSED👏👏)
Also I made this using your recipe for magnesium oil using John Ellis water Distilled water! Can’t get any better! 😘🤌🎉
Hi there...first of all I want to thank you for sharing your recipes :) I am wondering if one should be considering the different forms of magnesium here, or is there only one type that is available for this?
I love your channel. Your children are so adorable. Thank you for sharing your recipe. My husband and I have had restless leg syndrome I will have to try this.
I made this recipe and love it. It makes the skin feel so good. I have pain issues, fibromyalgia and arthritis, and put about a teaspoon of arnica powder in a jar of this lotion and stirred it in. It changed the consistency but helps the pain a lot. I wonder if I blended it in the beginning with the oils if it would be smoother, and then add the magnesium. Have you any experience mixing in powders?
Thank you! What a great idea about the arnica! I haven't tried any powders. But I know you can get arnica gel, and I wonder if mixing some of that in would work.
Hi Marjean ,so you recommend this ? Thank you
@@sweetmountainbaby I added arnica and boswellia powders to the warm oil and blended and the consistency was better. I have pain issues as well as sleep issues, hence the powders. For sleeping, Marissa's recipe is terrific. Her recipes show a great attention to detail and feel and look good.
@@marjeanm00re Thank you ,I have tons of brutal pain ! Any recommendations on brand’s please? Hope you get good relief
@@marjeanm00re Hi ,how much of arnica and boswellia please? Thank you
I use magnesium and love your lotion. I cannot find the link for the ebook recipes. I am 74 and have used home made products for years. Is there a body butter recipe?
Thank you Marisa, I'm learning SO VERY MUCH from you and your videos :) sending lots of blessings 🙏♥️
Thank you so much! This comment made my day :)
@@BumblebeeApothecary Marisa you are awesome and extremely sweet :) I would like to know if there's something natural I can pour down the sink due to the fat content (I'm afraid of blockage as I live in England and pipes are all year round pretty much way too cold). Many many thanks!
@@cintiaspataro3205 You could try some baking soda followed by boiling water. Although, I haven't had trouble with it in my drains. Hope that helps!
@@BumblebeeApothecary muchas gracias :) that's what I clean the drains with (and I add a bit of either lemon juice or vinager). MANY many thanks!
Thank you for sharing, I did it before with different recipe , I will try this one. Magnesium is so good. Thank you . God bless you. ❤
Just made this! It was so easy. I used half olive oil and half sesame oil infused with fresh calendula flower and lavender flower, shea butter and a little bit of tallow for my ingredients. For essential oil I used lavender and an essential love blend (floral smelling) from my local co-op. The lotion though after applying to my body feels very sticky...it has stained my clothes :(
Try adding 1tsp or more of arrowroot powder to your blend. Great for reducing sticky oiliness whilst still being very absorbing into the skin. x
Use dried herbs with oil and fresh for tinctures with alcohol
Using a true emulsifier will make a silky smooth lotion that isn’t sticky nor will it stain depending on your ingredients.
@@dianeespinoza8647 what’s a true emulsifier?
@@Soul.7what’s arrowroot?
Would you consider using Caster Oil as the base oil? I can't wait to try your recipe!
