Have you ever had an ache that just will not go away? My sister has that, in fact several areas that hurt almost all the time. During a recent visit I could tell she was not comfortable, even though she didnt talk about it. From the car accident to the fall several years prior, there was rarely a time that she was free from pain.
Once I noticed that she was feeling the achiness in her knees I decided to make the offer. After dinner , when she was preparing for a warm shower, I handed her a bottle of Transderma magnesium oil. I told her to massage it in to the sore spots after her shower.
To be honest, I completely forgot about the magnesium oil until my sister mentioned it later that night. She said her leg hurt. Not the leg she put the magnesium oil on, that one didnt hurt at all now, but now she felt the ongoing ache of the leg that she didnt treat.
This idea of applying magnesium oil to the sore spots was a great experiment. After trying many pain relief methods my sister was not expecting much. My next question had to be asked. Why didn’t you put it on both legs?
Since our skin is porous we are able to absorb some nutrients through our skin. Thats what transdermal means, being able to transfer through the dermal layer. The magnesium oil was rubbed into the skin around the painful areas, absorbing quickly.
I still wondered how my sister could treat one side with the Transderma magnesium oil, get such good results, and still not apply it to the other side. All she had to say was that she was amazed to find out how much it really did bother her before she used the magnesium oil. I guess the comparison gave her a good idea of how much pain she carried all the time, in both legs.
