I used to wake up several times a night with severe leg cramps. I started spraying this oil on the bottom of my feet and sleep the whole night through. It does leave a sticky residue on my feet and the sheet sticks to my feet when I turn over, but that is a small price to pay for a good night’s sleep.

Saved me with my restless legs during pregnancy! Omgsh, I am so grateful I found this product. I was having the worst restless legs and had tried EVERYTHING (massagers, magnesium vitamins, lotions, exercises, stretching). It was becoming so hard to get comfortable and sleep and really was affecting me. I decided to get this and just see if it could help. I spray two sprays on each foot and rub it in and one spray on my legs each. Finally my legs are calm and I can sleep. It does tingle at times which is normal for magnesium spray. If you have restless legs I highly recommend!

As Dr. Mark Sircus’ web site video implies to me, if we could swim regularly in the ocean we would likely have less if any need to shore up vitally needed magnesium in human health maintenance systems. According to many medical professionals [including Dr. Sircus] exposing a growing number of magnesium deficiencies, transdermal magnesium oil can be of vital assistance for absorbing this life maintaining mineral. Dr. Sircus recommends the ANCIENT MINERALS brand, which is offered on this Amazon page. [See his landmark book, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy]
I’ve noticed some curiosity expressed here about the price difference and possible quality or strength difference between ANCIENT MINERALS/Genuine Zechstein mag oil [for sale on this Amazon buying page] vs. SWANSON ULTRA/Zechstein Inside, Magnesium Oil 8 fl oz (237 ml) Spray. *[My review on the Swanson Ultra Amazon page gives a personal, detailed endorsement of any pure magnesium chloride brine used transdermally. Please feel free to read that and apply its contents to both of these offerings.]
I’ve recently purchased and tried this Ancient Mineral brand. It appears to me to be equal to the Swanson Ultra offering, yet I have detected a difference, by taste, as noted in this video review. The pricing at this time of posting this review, on each of these potentially lifesaving products, in an 8 oz spray bottle, is:
— $29 free shipping Ancient Minerals
— $9 + $5 shipping = $14 Swanson Ultra
Both indicate that they are supersaturated solutions of magnesium chloride brine water from the ancient Zechstein Seabed. I believe they are. I don’t know if one is a stronger solution than the other. Here are some of the factors I looked at which might relate here:
1. I have read on the Ancient Minerals web site that they believe it is acceptable to make your own brine water from the magnesium flakes from the Zechstein seabed. I was honestly pleased to read that because I do make and use my own solution from the flakes [though I can’t make it as super saturated as AM could, won’t be able to test contents, and I use tap water].
2. I have read on the Zechstein Minerals mine site that they cannot recommend making your own brine water from the flakes, due to a few trace residuals which come through from the breakdown, evaporation process of obtaining flakes from the mined brine solution. Included in that list, in bare trace amounts at a parts per million level [which the site says are not hazardous], are magnesium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide chloride, and some hydrochloric acid in the vapor stream. I recommend visiting their web site to read about this. I appreciated this information, especially the list of residuals, so I can make up my mind whether I’m concerned about them in my case.
3. According to an interesting, helpful discussion topic I read on a web site [CureZone] ANCIENT MINERALS invests time and resources to test each batch they sell of mg brine water, providing a list of the solution content including trace elements. I’ve checked the AM web site and seen this batch test results list for April 28, 2009. Also, from text included on my spray bottle of AM mg oil, this appreciated information is included: 8 sprays = approx 100 mg elemental magnesium. I’ve also read and recommend the Magnesium for Life web site, which offers quite a bit of interesting information. I’ve watched some excellent videos made by Dr. Mark Sircus on his web site, and on YouTube.
One thing which stands out in my mind from all this is a comment Dr. Sircus made about wanting to know the precise contents in each batch of mg chloride brine, even that which comes from the Zechstein site. Sircus said, to this effect, “You shouldn’t trust what someone else says about that.” That seemed to me like a wise assessment which was probably backed by experience. Taking this type of care gives extra costs which must be covered and which I’m willing to pay.
However, I also understand why Swanson’s medical spokesperson, Dr. Barbara Hensen, living closer to the Netherlands mine site, seems to be comfortably familiar with the Zechstein mining people and process. I can see why she and Swanson trust the product they receive from that mining process. I’ve formed an intuitive opinion for myself, and given the background provided in my review on the Swanson Ultra mag oil buying page here on Amazon:
I believe that for me, both these two magnesium oil products [and possibly others I haven’t investigated] are of excellent value in shoring up human nutrition and deficiencies. I will continue to buy and use both of them.
I will likely continue to use the highest volume of the Swanson products due to their ability to offer such excellent pricing, yet I will always keep on hand a parallel bottle of the Ancient Minerals spray as well. As I have done with SWANSON and will continue to do, I want to support ANCIENT MINERALS and its supporters; they’ve proven their integrity to me, and web sites from both these companies have given invaluable information.
Companies like these two, and their people and medical professional sponsors, are God Sends to me. I appreciate them more than I can say, along with their willingness to work with Amazon to get their vital products to a larger marketplace, which includes me.
My eternal thanks to Amazon, Swanson, and Ancient Minerals,
Linda Shelnutt

Cumple con lo que promete, especial para aplicarse por las noches, llevo usándolo un poco más de 2 semanas, y ha mejorado la calidad de mi sueño.

I do believe that it helped me sleep better. For the sleep I would rate it a 10. For the oiliness I have to rate it a 3. It made oil stains on my sheets and the sheets stuck to my skin! If you only apply it to your feet socks will solve the problem. If to use it elsewhere be prepared for a mess!

I feel like the nights I spray and rub this into the bottoms of my feet, I sleep more deeply. I haven’t noticed any other benefits, but I’ll take the improved sleep. I like that it doesn’t have a smell and absorbs pretty well (I put socks on). It doesn’t make my feet itch like some magnesium can.

Get an excellent night sleep using this on my feet

I’d using magnesium oil in the past for leg and back aches. Then, I ran out of it. I had extensive back surgery and have been dealing w numb and tingly feet and toes after that. I remembered this works for various pains and spasms( which I also have). So, ordered this Ancient Minerals spray and it was delivered the next day. Sometimes I use it after shower in the AM and sometimes before bed. It’s a great and healthy product to supply much needed magnesium. The sprayer on the bottle works very well too! It’s an easy application.

I don’t like talking pills to sleep, I was surprised this works. Put it on my feet and legs and zzzzzzzz. I will say it is VERY drying.
Amazon Customer –
I really didn’t think this was going to work, since other magnesium topical products I’ve tried for my baby are so expensive and don’t do anything for him. $35 dollars for a small jar of lotion? I had to buy it monthly- Ugh! I went straight to the active ingredient here…
I’ve tried just about everything, and my 13m old is still the worsttt sleeper. I used 4 sprays of this with his lotion on his legs and feet, and he slept for a 6 hour stretch, and then another 4 hour stretch – waking once just to nurse. WHAT?!
I couldn’t believe it! I also used it on my 10 year old as well and it worked on him within an hour. Use after a bath for best results with a moisturizer. For $10 on a whim purchase I can’t believe the results!
Xoxo –
worth buying

Jessica Maricutu –
I love this product. I spray it on my feet and it helps me get a better nights sleep. It does sting after you spray it on, but you must read the directions to get better idea of how to use it and what is normal test a small part of your skin Before spraying it everywhere to make sure it doesn’t cause irritation I’ve definitely feel more calm and relaxed after using it
