Magnesium reduces bruising post-surgery
We explored the impact of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) wet dressings on bruising and swelling following blepharoplasty, a common eyelid surgery. In our study, fifty-eight patients were evenly split between two treatments: one side received a magnesium sulfate solution, while the other was cooled with ice packs. This setup allowed us to compare the effectiveness of these two methods objectively.

Over the recovery period, we observed that the eyelid swelling was similar in both groups initially but notably reduced over time. However, by the fifth day after surgery, we found that those treated with the magnesium solution experienced significantly less swelling compared to the cooling method. Additionally, bruising—measured by both area and incidence—was also lower in the magnesium group, highlighting its effectiveness.

Interestingly, a significant majority of patients preferred the magnesium treatment over ice cooling, with many appreciating the convenience and results of the wet dressing. This suggests that magnesium sulfate is not only effective in reducing bruising and swelling but is also a patient-favored option for recovery after eyelid surgery.

Effective bruise relief

Made my magnesium oil very nice with this product. It's great for topical arthritis and bruise relief. I used 6.0 pH Kangen water with 5 drops of transcolloidal nascent iodine in blue cobalt glass. I will be buying again.
