This blog post was initially written to describe Bishofit – a name for magnesium oil in Russia. Since we no longer sell it, I have changed the information to describe the therapeutic properties of magnesium oil in general.

People have known about the healing properties of magnesium salt for a long time and have been using it to treat muscle cramps, aches and pains, to calm nerves, relax, etc. It is widely used in balneology due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect to treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lumbago, and other conditions of the Musculoskeletal and Nervous systems. It is also used to treat nervous tension, stress, a variety of skin conditions and a number of other problems.
