The Sleep Remedy I Rub On Instead of Swallowing

💡 My nightly fix for better sleep, fewer cramps, and zero groggy mornings.

Last year, I was waking up like clockwork at 2:13 AM. Every. Single. Night.

I tried chamomile, lavender sprays, even melatonin gummies that made me feel like I got hit by a truck the next morning.

Then I heard a midwife mention magnesium — on the skin, not in a capsule. That changed everything.

I whipped up a homemade lotion, rubbed it on my legs and feet before bed—and finally, sleep didn’t feel like a full-time job. Now it’s a staple in our Wellness Cabinet. And if I miss a night? My calves remind me real quick.

✅ Why Magnesium Lotion Works (And Why I Swear By It):

Soaks in through the skin — no digestion required

  • Helps with leg cramps, restless legs, and deep sleep

  • Kid-safe (I use it on my teen when she’s wired before bed)

  • No sketchy preservatives, seed oils, or additives

  • Easy DIY: just magnesium flakes, water, and a little oil

🧂 Ingredient Pick of the Week:
