We know magnesium is important, but why?
Magnesium is gaining attention for its vital role in muscle function, stress relief, and sleep quality. Many people are magnesium-deficient, yet it’s essential for overall health. But what exactly does magnesium do, and how can you get more of it?
At Bloomin’ Bliss, we understand magnesium’s importance deeply. Our founder, Patricia Robson, discovered her own magnesium deficiency during medical leave, which inspired our magnesium-infused bath bombs—turning a simple bath into a restorative self-care ritual.
Here are 7 scientifically supported reasons to soak in a magnesium bath:
1. Relieves Muscle Tension & Aches
Magnesium promotes muscle relaxation and reduces inflammation, helping ease stiffness and soreness. Studies show magnesium supplementation reduces muscle soreness and improves recovery after exercise. Transdermal magnesium absorption during a bath may aid muscle relaxation and reduce cramps.
2. Promotes Better Sleep
Magnesium regulates neurotransmitters that calm the nervous system, improving sleep quality and reducing the time it takes to fall asleep. Research shows magnesium supplementation significantly enhances sleep quality by 32% compared to placebo, supporting deeper, more restful sleep.
3. Reduces Stress & Anxiety
Magnesium supports the nervous system by modulating stress hormone cortisol via the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and enhancing calming neurotransmitter GABA activity. This helps lower cortisol levels and reduce stress symptoms. Soaking in magnesium-rich water with aromatherapy can be a natural, effective stress-buster.
4. Hydrates & Nourishes Skin
Bathing in magnesium-rich solutions like Dead Sea salt improves skin barrier function, enhances hydration, and reduces redness and inflammation. Additionally, magnesium promotes production of hyaluronic acid in the skin, which maintains moisture and elasticity. Our bath bombs also include nourishing mango butter and natural oils for soft, hydrated skin without harsh chemicals.
5. Supports Nervous System Health
Magnesium is essential for healthy nerve function and helps maintain nervous system balance and resilience during stressful times. Magnesium baths can aid in calming the nervous system and supporting overall mental wellness.
6. Enhances Aromatherapy Benefits
Each bath bomb blends essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus, or peppermint known to uplift mood, clear the mind, and soothe tension. Combined with magnesium’s calming properties, aromatherapy creates a holistic relaxation experience.
7. Creates a Mindful Self-Care Ritual
Magnesium baths offer more than physical benefits—they are a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and focus on yourself. Adding candles, music, or journaling can transform your bath into an ultimate restorative ritual.
