Be transported to a tranquil, mineral-rich hot spring hidden deep within a lush old-growth forest. Pure essential oils of Japanese Hinoki cypress and Siberian fir harmonize with magnesium chloride to evoke the experience of immersing in forest air, which has proven health benefits attributed to phytoncides, the volatile aromatic compounds given off by trees.
Benefits
Restores magnesium levels
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 biochemical processes. It supports heart health, builds strong bones, promotes nervous system and muscle health, and is essential to energy production. Every cell in your body needs magnesium to thrive, yet many of us are deficient. Ancient Minerals® Forest Calm makes it easy to replenish depleted magnesium at the cellular level
Evokes the soothing, mood-elevating effects of forest bathing
The Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku or “forest bathing,” involves relaxing in a forested environment. Developed as an antidote to increased urbanization, shinrin-yoku involves breathing in forest air rich in phytoncides, aromatic compounds produced by trees linked to physical, mental and emotional health benefits. Studies show forest bathing promotes relaxation, reduces stress, supports the immune system and strengthens the parasympathetic nervous system. Ancient Minerals® Forest Calm mimics the natural aromatherapy of phytoncides with a blend of pure essential oils.
Supports stress relief & relaxation
Soaking in a warm magnesium-infused bath is a simple ritual that can help ease stress and tension. Often called the “relaxation mineral,” magnesium calms nerves and muscles, supports healthy brain function and improves mood by regulating neurotransmitters that send messages throughout your brain and nervous system. The addition of soothing, forest-derived essential oils enhances the stress-relieving effects of magnesium.
Eases achy muscles
In addition to its ability to dissolve tension, magnesium offers fast, powerful relief from everyday muscle aches and discomfort. It supports the healthy function of muscles, helping them relax and contract properly. Taking a warm magnesium-infused bath after a workout can help ease post-exercise muscle soreness.
Promotes restful sleep
Magnesium can help you get a good night’s sleep by helping to relax the body as your body prepares for rest. Especially when used in an evening bath before bed, the “relaxation mineral” can help you fall asleep and sleep soundly through the night.
