I was experiencing muscle cramps in my thighs and the legs. Many years of working on my feet.
I have used your oil for years and turned many onto it. However, it was not relieving what was going on now.
I used the whole bag in the first bath. Amazing. I than ordered d 8# to mix with my first monthly purchase. This is not as effective. I think it weakens the msm. Thank you

I cannot begin to say that I cannot live without these magnesium flakes. I can no longer use other Epsom salts because after trying this brand, those other brands don’t compare to the quality of this one ans how much it has helped me with joint pain or nervous system regulation.

For me, this is the best source of magnesium. I use the bath flakes in a hot bath every evening and if I stop, my health drops a little until I resume. When I first decided to use transdermal or topical magnesium, I looked at other brands in detail and made some phone calls about sourcing and accepted toxin screening, especially heavy metals. Ancient Minerals is more expensive and I don't have money to spare, but this is the only brand I will use. I believe it is the purest and for me purity counts. Enviromedica has always delivered quickly and reliably, and I appreciate the shipping bonus. I have not been able to figure out the rewards and points but the product stands on it own for excellence.

Lovely Bath Flakes

Really enjoying these, they dissolve easily and feel luxurious. To be honest I’ve never tried a bath without salts so I can’t definitively say if they help but I always feel relaxed and soothed after a salted bath.

Magnesium Bath

One of the best things I ever discovered in my life was magnesium. Growing up I was very much into weightlifting and health and nutrition but never really heard the word magnesium or practically ignored it until I discovered how important it is to our health and how vital it is. I take some orally but nothing really beats transdermal magnesium absorption. Excellent product would highly recommend it.

The most relaxing bath EVER!

I'm a mail carrier, and working the holiday grind in these conditions are brutal. I literally have pulled and torn muscles in my back and needed some relief. After trying the Magnesium Bath Flakes, I will never use Epsom salt again! After soaking, it relieved my sore muscles AND it did not dry out my skin. Definitely have a customer for life!

This mineral soak is the about best thing ive ever came across. I can always tell a difference in my sleep when I do not use it.

FAQs

How is this different than epsom salts?

Magnesium bath flakes (magnesium chloride) and Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) are both mineral salts used in bathing traditions, but they differ in form, origin, and experience.

Ancient Minerals Magnesium Bath Flakes are made with magnesium chloride, which offers a smooth, easily dissolvable soak and is known for its use in professional wellness settings. Epsom salts, composed of magnesium sulfate, are more commonly found in general retail and may vary in source and consistency.

Our flakes are sourced from the ancient Zechstein seabed, a protected and deeply buried natural deposit. By contrast, many Epsom salt brands do not disclose their source and may be packaged from various suppliers based on availability.

Where does Ancient Minerals magnesium chloride come from?

Ancient Minerals magnesium chloride is harvested from the Zechstein seabed, a deeply buried, ancient deposit in the Netherlands. This source has been protected from modern environmental exposure for millions of years, and is known for its consistency and quality.

We use only Genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride, and every Ancient Minerals product carries the Genuine Zechstein mark—a reflection of its origin and mineral identity.

Is this the best application for children and how much should be used?

Magnesium baths have been used by families as a gentle self-care practice for children. For a small bath, many parents choose to add ½ to 1 cup of flakes to warm water, adjusting as needed based on the child’s age and comfort level.

As with any new product, we recommend consulting your pediatrician—especially for children under 2 years of age.

How often should I take a magnesium bath?

Magnesium baths can be enjoyed regularly as part of a self-care routine. Many people choose to soak a few times per week, while others make it a daily ritual.

As with any personal care practice, frequency can be adjusted based on your individual needs and preferences.

Are Ancient Minerals products appropriate during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Many women choose to include magnesium baths as part of their self-care routine during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, if you are pregnant or nursing, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before use—especially if it’s your first time using topical magnesium.
