Amazing Oils: Magnesium Deficiency Treatment

.

Are you at the mercy of a gruelling schedule? A busy lifestyle is a magnet for mineral deficiency – take magnesium, for instance. According to the World Health Organisation, under 60 percent of men and women consume enough magnesium. Yet, magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body.

Its super-powers are known to alleviate and support muscular injuries, aches and pains, insomnia, stress and energy production.

Whether you’re ingesting enough magnesium or not, a little help goes a long way. Amazing Oils Gel Roll-On works effectively for daily and post-workout pain relief, and small enough to pack when you’re on the go. Got a family? Try Amazing Oil Natural Relief Spray (250ml), so no one misses out. And when the day has got you feeling battered and bruised Amazing Oils Magnesium Flakes (800g) is there to soak all your cares away.

What makes Amazing Oils dear to my heart is the fact that it was founded to help a terminally ill family member. Amazing Oils really is a family affair. Owned and operated on the Sunshine Coast, their products are locally sourced and manufactured, and suitable for a cross-section of groups from athletes, children, mothers, and the aged community.

Clean & Pure: Maintain the Perfect Pout

There’s nothing sexy about crusty lips. Say goodbye to the chap, and let Clean & Pure protect your pout.

Clean & Pure lip balm-formulae is derived from natural ingredients rather than nasty chemicals and preservatives utilised by its counterparts on the market. Taking special care to ethically source Queensland and Victoria Manuka honey beeswax and virgin olive oil – Clean & Pure is the only international brand to do this. That’s why Clean & Pure is ahead of the game when it comes to cell regeneration and moisture retention.

Clean & Pure offers a collection of flavours: Manuka Honey, Cocoa Butter, Pawpaw, Vanilla and Peppermint — all made with steam distilled essential oils. My favourites are Manuka Honey and Tinted Rose. I love how Manuka Honey settles into my lips like it’s straight from the jar. And if you want a touch of colour when lipstick is too much, Tinted Rose does the trick, and it smells heavenly, just like the rose petals.
