For anyone who struggles to get a good night’s sleep, whether it’s because of an overactive mind, body aches and pains or the affliction of restless legs (if you know you know), you may have heard that magnesium can help. But if you want something that will have a more immediate, recognisable effect than taking a supplement, magnesium oil is the way to go—which is where Salt Lab comes in.
This Australian-based brand was created by a Melbourne nutritionist, personal trainer and mum of three who experienced a complete burnout, disrupting her sleep, hormones and nervous system. Unable to find a clean, high quality magnesium oil that was Australian made and owned, she set out to create her own brand, and so Salt Lab was born.
Sourced from the Tibetan Plateau, with no nasties and no sticky residue left on your skin, Salt Lab’s all natural magnesium oil spray and bath salts can be used every day to relieve muscle pain, lower stress levels and calm the mind. Magnesium is known to help reduce muscle cramps, support nervous system health, hormone function and a healthy digestion, and even put the brakes on brain activity, so it’s good for a heap of issues.
The magnesium oil spray is our pick for ease of adding magnesium into your daily routine—just spray it right on to your legs, stomach, feet or back about 10-30 minutes before bed and massage it in. If you’re new to using magnesium oil you’re going to feel some tingling, so go lightly for the first few weeks.
Both the spray and bath salts are safe for the whole family to use, so you can even use them in the bath for the kids to help them sleep at night—cue parents everywhere stocking up in bulk. We love that they have refill pouches for the sake of sustainability too.
