The Power Duo: CBD and Magnesium

You may have heard that magnesium is an essential nutrient in your body with over 300 functions, but research has shown that about half of the U.S. population doesn’t get enough of this body-boosting nutrient. Let’s discuss how using magnesium topically can help improve sleep, reduce pain and resolve skin issues.

CBD and Magnesium Benefits for Sleep

Magnesium deficiency has been linked with insomnia and applying it directly to the skin allows it to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream, potentially raising magnesium levels and improving sleep quality. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23853635/

Additionally, using topical CBD cream, like Doc D’s Miracle Lotion, also promotes relaxation through the endocannabinoid system and the parasympathetic nervous system by regulating stress hormones like cortisol.

Reduce Pain

Magnesium also helps relax muscles, which makes it excellent to use after working out as it reduces the cramps and sore muscles that occur from exerting the muscles. It does this by balancing the calcium needed for muscle contraction and improving blood circulation. It also supports the body to metabolize and remove lactic acid, too much lactic acid can make muscles feel tight, sore and fatigued. Similar to CBD, magnesium also has anti-inflammatory properties which soothe the muscle tissues, further reducing pain in muscles and joints.

Resolve Skin Issues

Magnesium does more than just relax muscles and improves sleep; it also works wonders for your skin health. When applied as a lotion, it helps balance your skin’s natural moisture barrier which keeps your skin hydrated and protected. It also soothes inflammation, regulates oil production and reduces redness by moderating your skin’s inflammatory response, which helps prevent breakouts and promotes clear radiant skin.

So when you combine magnesium with 1000mg of broad spectrum CBD, the benefits multiply. Together they deliver powerful targeted relief to sore joints and aching muscles while also nurturing the skin and body. The result is smoother, healthier skin and a relaxed mind and body that feels restored-from the inside and out.
