The story is familiar. I hear it from family, close friends, and many acquaintances.
“I have trouble sleeping.”
“I sometimes have insomnia.”
“I can’t quiet my mind at night… it keeps me up.”
“I’m so tired during the day because I don’t get restful sleep at night.”
“My child has trouble falling asleep.”
If this sounds like you, it might be time to explore magnesium sleep butter—a natural solution that promotes relaxation and supports deeper, more restorative rest.
Actions You Can Take to Help You Get a Better Night's Sleep
There are many different natural avenues a person can explore to help them with getting a better night’s sleep. Some suggestions that have value:
- Watch what you eat.
- Make sure to exercise regularly.
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bedtime.
- Create a bedtime routine or wind down routine at bedtime.
All of these suggestions and a few others I found at HealthGuide have value. Depending on the severity of your sleep problem, you may need to try each tip or maybe just a few.
Use Magnesium Sleep Cream in Your Bedtime Routine
I want to focus on number four: creating a bedtime routine that includes a magnesium sleep cream or body butter with magnesium to naturally support your body’s relaxation process.
Most parents know this is important for children. The consistency of a routine before going to bed, tells the body and mind that it is time to rest and recharge.
Applying a magnesium butter for sleep to your neck, chest, or feet as part of your wind down routine can help you in your quest for a good night of sleep.
How Body Butters with Magnesium Oil Help You Sleep
In both our Forty Winks and Nighty Night magnesium sleep butters, I have crafted two whipped magnesium body butter recipes using organic butters and a curated blend of pure essential oils. These essential oils have properties to help with relaxation and relieving anxiety and stress.
Both sleep butters contain magnesium oil. One of the many magnesium butter benefits is improved sleep. Magnesium supports relaxation by calming the nervous system and preparing the body for deep, restorative rest. Magnesium oil relaxes the GABA receptors in your brain and nervous system to promote the slow down you need in to sleep.
One of the best ways to get magnesium into the body is through the skin. Applying magnesium oil to the skin helps your body replenish cellular magnesium levels.
Magnesium oil can sting or itch when applied to the skin so I have combined the magnesium oil in our sleep body butters with skin nourishing organic shea butter and coconut oils.
I recommend applying first to a small area on your little one's forearm to make sure it’s comfortable for them. Avoid contact with eyes when using a topical magnesium product. Apply magnesium sleep butter sparingly, especially if you have sensitive skin.
A little goes a long way. Before bedtime, gently massage a small amount onto the back of your neck, shoulders, and chest.
The essential oil blends in each butter also assist the brain and body in slowing down and relaxing so you or your little one can have a restful night of sleep.
