Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myhealshop.com\">www.myhealshop.com<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>\u00b7 Magnesium is a natural personal care essential for men that will improve your personal grooming habits.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Magnesium can be used as a deodorant, repair your hair, improve your skin and help ease those muscle aches after the gym, flying or tension.<\/p>\n<p>Magnesium \u2013 One of those words that makes you feel as if you are back in 7th grade science class. This is not your typical science class, but the science of the well-being for your body and how magnesium can help you achieve that.<\/p>\n<p>What is magnesium?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_7173_1024x1024@2x-615x820.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is that very essential microelement that the body needs to function properly. While the best way to get magnesium into your body is through healthy foods and supplement, many of us still don\u2019t keep up with the required daily dosage of the vitamin.<\/p>\n<p>Magnesium is great for your bones, teeth, joints, sleep, stress reduction, and general well-being of the human body.<\/p>\n<p>However, to get the effects of magnesium through the skin and into your body, newer methods such as sprays, lotions, and body butter are making a buzz in the grooming and healthcare industry.<\/p>\n<p>Magnesium improves your personal grooming habits<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/1234_1024x1024@2x-615x984.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Using oils, sprays, lotion, and body butters allows the body to absorb the magnesium transdermally to the right spot where it is needed without losing its effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>In the grooming department, magnesium can be used as deodorants, hair and skin moisturizers; it also helps with stress, pain relief, muscle relaxants, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Magnesium as a Deodorant<\/p>\n<p>It is no secret that many of us want a dryer and fresher under arm, however, finding the right deodorant can be quite the tussle. While smelling nice and fresh is the objective, we have to consider the chemical constituents of the product.<\/p>\n<p>Now you can try magnesium-based deodorant containing natural preservatives that inhibit the growth of bacteria that causes armpit odor, which also keeps your underarm dry and fresh all day.<\/p>\n<p>Magnesium for Skin<\/p>\n<p>Are you suffering from dull and dry skin? Or perhaps noticing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles at an early age? You could have a deficiency of magnesium. Magnesium based body butter and lotions are excellent ways to help reverse the aging clock, increase skin elasticity, induce skin healing and eliminate wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone to reveal softer, smoother and younger-looking skin.<\/p>\n<p>Magnesium for Hair<\/p>\n<p>Although there are many causes of hair loss, thinning hair and breakage one underlying cause is magnesium deficiency. Magnesium oils are a great way to stop your hair from thinning out, breaking and falling out while encouraging a lush, full head of hair we all strive to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>For best results, massage an ample amount of the magnesium oil into your hair and scalp, wrap with a warm towel for 10 \u2013 15 minutes and wash off with your regular shampoo.<\/p>\n<p>To add volume and bounce to your hair, try a mixture of almond oil (it contains a high concentration of magnesium) with avocado flesh, apply on the hair, and wash off 10 &#8211; 15 minutes later.<\/p>\n<p>Magnesium for Pains and Muscle Soreness<\/p>\n<p>Joint pain, muscle cramps, and stiffness are problems most people deal with daily. Now you can say goodbye to this pain, increase calcium absorption into the bones, relieve, and speed up muscle cramps so you can enjoy a goodnights rest when you use magnesium spray.<\/p>\n<p>Magnesium butter, lotions, oils, and sprays can be extremely beneficial for the body, making it the perfect addition to your Man Bag, your travel bag and your bathroom vanity top!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/myhealshop.com\/collections\/osimagnesium\">myhealshop.com\/collections\/osimagnesium<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.happyenergyamazinglife.com\/about-us\/harmonys-story\">www.happyenergyamazinglife.com\/about-us\/harmonys-story<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Harmony is committed to wellbeing naturally since 1991.

But what is the best way to combat seasonal allergies, regular allergies and airborne allergies, when over the counter medications just won\u2019t work? Have you tried ear candling? This homebased therapy is known to help ease the discomfort associated with many ailments that could be affecting your everyday life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is an Ear candle and what is ear candling?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An ear candle is a cone-shaped waxed cloth that is lit and then inserted into the ear to<br \/>\nhelp the body reach a relaxed state. Ear candling is not a new type of therapy. It has been passed down from generation to generation in many different countries like Poland, Italy, Columbia, Mexico and the USA. Today ear candling therapy is best used to help those who are having stressful issues and difficulty relaxing.<br \/>\nHow do you ear candle?<br \/>\nWhen you are practicing ear candling it is important to make sure that you are using a<br \/>\nhigh-quality ear candle to make sure that you are best protected. This would include an ear candle that is made with certified organic cotton (to avoid breathing in pesticide contaminants), a burn line label (to avoid any confusion as to when to remove the ear candle from the ear) and a patented safety tip (just in case).<br \/>\nWhen you are ear candling, always light the ear candle first, insert it through a cut hole in a paper plate (or put a towel around the ear) and then insert the NON lit end into the ear. When the ear candle is lit it helps the body to begin to relax and release extra tension and stress. While ear candling the body can float through the three stages of relaxation (beta, alpha, and theta) thus helping oneself to return to a state of natural wellbeing, naturally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can ear candling help with sinuses?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although using ear candling will not treat, heal or cure any issues you are having with your<br \/>\nsinuses it can help your sinus passages to relax and release naturally. It helps your body by allowing you to go into deep relaxation. When you are in this deep relaxation your body is allowed to slowly return to its natural homeostasis, which would be able to fight any infections naturally. Ear candles help boost your immune system when you relax and destress naturally.<br \/>\nWhen you are practicing ear candle therapy there are three main levels that help with healing<br \/>\nyour body, including your sinuses. Of course, there is the fact that one is lying down and relaxing \u2026 however, this is not like a nap at all! The warmth from the smoke is gentle and soothing, the sound reminds one of an open camp fire or a sea shell on ones ear, hearing the ocean and the actual energy of the ear candle could be stimulating for reflexology points within the ear.<br \/>\nDid you know that everyone\u2019s head area contains three chakras, each ear contains over 50 reflexology points and the head contains 8 of the meridian pathways end or starting point. This is a LOT of energy points contained in such a central location. Why not provide a relaxing moment for all of them?<br \/>\nBanner: Sinus EC 20% off.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-610208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/w33-615x615.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"615\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wildflower, is a wellness company that is dedicated to organic plant-derived material infused with CBD for active lifestyles \u2013 Here are three of their athletic options that active people \/ athletic people would find much use in.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.buywildflower.com\">www.buywildflower.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Wildflower-CBD-Cool-stick-300mg-lifestyle_540x.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-610210 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20770473_1898044870455402_4539122956847795816_n-615x615.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"615\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wildflowerplantsheal\">FACEBOOK<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WildflowerCanna\">TWITTER<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/Wildflower_plantsheal\/\">INSTAGRAM<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wildflower CBD Cooling Stick<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cost: 1 oz.. &#8211; $24.99<br \/>\ni. 2.5oz &#8211; $60<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Wildflower-CBD-Cool-stick-300mg-lifestyle2_540x.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nDescription: The unique Cool Stick offers quick and convenient relief from muscle, joint, and back pain.
