Most people find it relaxes them tremendously and aids in sound sleep. First recommendation would be to cut back on the amount you are using per treatment. Depending on what time of day you are applying the oil, you may need to change the time of treatment. Most people who have difficulty with sleep like to use magnesium in the evening before bedtime. But you might not benefit from this. Not sure what else might be causing this but try cutting back by half the amount used and see it that helps. Sincerely, Claudia French IMVA Dear Tonya,

This goes against everything I have read. I have classic signs of deficiency and was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2009. During the day I feel much calmer but at night my heart races and I can feel electrical activity in the heart area and my head. This along with having too much energy also prevents me from sleeping. How can I be sure my electrolytes are balanced? I'm not taking any other supplements and have applied an ounce of 31% spray a day.

If your kidneys are well functioning most excess magnesxium will be excreted without causing problems. However some people can have toxic effects, especially if poor kidney functioning exists. Signs of excess magnesium can be similar to magnesium deficiency and include changes in mental status, nausea, diarrhea, appetite loss, muscle weakness, difficulty breathing, extremely low blood pressure, and irregular heartbeat Claudia French RN, LPHA Assistant Director, IMVA If you are taking an oral type of magnesium you could get loose stools.

Kids usually respond best to this way of getting magnesium into them. Work up to about 2 cups added, more or less might be needed. See if she sleeps better. Cut back on the amount used if she reacts or after about 2 months when her mag levels should be repleated. Dr. Mark Try putting magnesium oil or flakes into a full bathtub just before bedtime.

Please look at the essays under the "Transdermal Magnesium Therapy" tab on this site for dosage information for oral and transdermal (body spray and bath/massage) uses of magnesium oil. As long as you don't have any renal insufficiency, any excess magnesium should be excreted by the kidneys. http://magnesiumforlife.com/transdermal-magnesium/magnesium-administration/ http://magnesiumforlife.com/transdermal-magnesium/combining-oral-with-transdermal/ The other essays there may be helpful as well. Generally an ounce or two on the body will increase levels to start with, depending on size , and a cup or two in a bath will work. More will be needed for medical treatments or severely deficient people and people on certain medications that deplete magnesium. Dr Mark Margaret.
