I love this big 12-lb bag of magnesium flakes! I ordered these to have in addition to my hot, salt, detox baths. I've been through a lot the last several years, and I am making a big effort on ensuring I'm getting self care. Sometimes I will take important obligations off my plate in order to do things like this for myself because I'm a better human when I do. Single parent life is not the easiest, so I do these baths a couple times a week even if it's 90° outside! These are really neat looking. This was the first time I've seen magnesium in this form. Some pieces are smaller consistent to salt but flaky, and some are big, chunky flakes. They dissolve in the bath pretty quickly as well. I add these with sea salt and essential oil. Directions say to do this for at least 30 minutes, and that's about how long my baths are. They can be an hour If I'm childless, and I'll keep adding hot water. Magnesium can be taken in supplement form as well, but the best way to absorb it is through the skin like this. I also use a dry brush in the bath (well, I'll get it wet), and I'll exfoliate my skin especially my legs and feet which I know helps my body detox and absorb what's in the bath as well. I also recommend getting a shower filter if you have city water, since it's usually far more toxic than people realize. Many people are deficient in magnesium and have no idea. When you start adding it in and notice the change in your body it may be more apparent. When I first tried these flakes, I was extra tired after my bath but that happens to me when I use magnesium oil spray on my body before bed as it's very calming and puts me to sleep. I'm just so pleased about this product, and I'll definitely order again when I'm out. I used far more than the directions said, but I was just so excited to get this product!
**Update** I never close the bag of this that I keep in the bathroom, and I noticed the past week moisture got in and the whole bag sort of formed one big, hard chunk. It's been really humid here. This doesn't bother me since it's going to melt right in the bath and I can break it up a bit, but I noticed it. I was just too lazy to close the bag because I use it so much. *
