Sounds as if it might have gotten too low from the magnesium or something else causing dizziness? Without more information its hard to speculate on what caused the dizziness. You can start the magnesium oil again at a lower rate (try half an ounce of mag. oil) and see if the problem occurs again. Were you applying the magnesium oil to your entire body or just to the knee where it would be concentrated on the painful area? Dear Donna,

You should stick to metric or get a conversion table..

16 ounces = 1 pound
1 gallon = 128 ounces

128 divided by 16 equals 8

I’ve been spraying 1 ounce daily of magnesium oil onto my skin for the last 2 weeks but then started to feel a little dizzy (even though no reduction of pain in a recently twisted knee). After 3 days of feeling dizzy, I stopped the magnesium oil and the dizziness was gone the very next day. I do not have renal problems/failure nor any of the other possible reasons listed on your website (Excessive intake/Lithium therapy/Hypothyroidism/Addison’s disease/ Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia/ Milk alkali syndrome/ Depression) except for hypothyroidism for which I take a high quality natural thyroid tablet. I take no other prescription drugs and I avoid OTC drugs too. I am taking potassium bicarbonate powder (1/4 teaspoon) daily which I had also stopped at the same time as the magnesium oil but re-started this once the dizziness went away. I made my own magnesium oil from equal volumes of distilled water and Ancient Minerals magnesium chloride flakes but am now afraid to spray magnesium oil on myself any more. Can you explain why I got dizzy from the magnesium oil and whether I should just give up taking magnesium oil? I have chronic fatigue or something similar and weigh about 200 lbs.

1 gallon is 3,785411 liter
1pound is ±453,59 grams
that would mean 453.59×8 = 5628.72 grams per gallon
which means (5628.72 divided by 3,785411) 1486.95 grams per liter

…. correct me if im wrong.. but half the planet knows that 1 liter of distilled water weighs about 1 kilo (0,998kg to be precise..)

What you can try is to get some Ancient Minerals magnesium oil from LL's Magnetic Clay Co and rub it over the area of the glands. Many people have reported to us that when they do this, the swellings go down and disappear. http://www.magneticclay.com/ You may also try painting the skin over the swellings with iodine.

The burning and itching is still there but passes in about 20 minutes or so, I do leave it on over night. My chest and face do not itch just my arms and legs, I will continue to use and log any information about my experiences with the mag oil. This site is very helpful to me thank you for all your information. I have been using Mag. oil every night now for 12 days yes I am sleeping deeper. The burning and itching is still there but passes

Its very common for people to experience an itchy rash at first and this usually disppears after the skin becomes accustomed to the magnesium oil. You can also dilute the magnesium oil in water by half water half magnesium oil to decrease the irritation till your body becomes accostomed to it. You can use less than one ounce per day if you feel this is too much for your sie and weight. And a foot bath or whole body bath with magnesium chloride flakes is alwo extremely beneficial. Lori,

But the skin irritation seems more severe today. Is it going to be as affective if I rinse it off after 30 minutes? I am small and to put an ounce on, even splitting the dose into halves is covering me. I dont want to have to cut back down though, because I feel this will help me faster than anything else and I dont want to have this cramping anymore. The rash is mostly the chest and under my breasts and arm pits. But I can feel bumps other places, they just dont seem noticable or itch or sting. Actually my chest doesnt either, just looks bad. I do notice I prune up faster now just washing my hands, that's weird! And I lather up with a minimal amount of body wash too. But to my main question, after 30 minutes time is the oil absorbed enough to be rinsed off and still be beneficial? Also is the rash a detox symptom? Does the body adjust to transdermal therapy eventually? I am now using Ancient Minerals so I know the dosing will be more accurate. THANK YOU!!!
