My body hurts

[Sallmell]

My body is hurting so much tonight that I cannot settle.

I have had a stressful time of late and have work international travel in a week before moving home, so I know my body is going to take a battering.

Many here are on meds. Some seem helped by them and some don’t seem helped by them🤷🏻‍♀️. I know when I am to my wits end in pain, a soak in Epsom helps about 90% of the time. So does icy hot spray. I hope you find your answer. Especially before your trip.

You know why a soak in Epsom salts works, don't you.

It's because they are high in magnesium content, something the body is regularly lacking and causes cramping and pain.

Magnesium is also found in dark green leafy vegetables which is probably why they are anti inflammatory.

There ya go then!

I’m also on magnesium lactate which is helping me a lot.

I was blown away when I saw a blown up picture of a magnesium atom. It's almost identical to an iron atom.

People are well aware of being told they are anaemic lacking iron, IE in many cases suggested to eat meat.

The magnesium atom is like the iron atom within plants.

We all need magnesium which should be present in all plants but often is lacking due to modern food production methods.
