Hey all!! I wanted to give a recipe for a rub I was given from a massage therapist friend of mine. First off, you will need to get some supplies. I got all of mine from Amazon. What brought this thread to light, was Yoda posted about a rub he bought a few months ago. I bought some magnesium oil and rub from the same online vendor, and I got to thinking, after reading the ingredients, that I could make it for pennies on the dollar, and you can too!!! I even had Vistaprint make some cool labels for the wife and daughters to have fun with and give away as gifts. Here is both recipes for the oil and the rub...
what you will need:
magnesium flakes
distilled water
The Magnesium Oil can be used all by itself for muscle pain and tightness by pouring it in a spray bottle and spraying it on and letting it air dry(great for just out of the shower!!)
shea butter
coconut oil
vitamin E oil
Essential oils(if you like the fufu smells)
and some small canning glass jars
All this shipped to your door from Amazon for about $120.00 USD and it will make alot of Mag oil and rub!!!
making the Magnesium Oil-
1/2 cup distilled water(bring to a boil and turn off)
1/2 cup Magnesium Flakes
mix in the Magnesium Flakes into the boiled water until dissolved. Set aside.(EASY)
Magnesium Rub-
Melt 1/4 cup Coconut oil and 1/2 cup Shea butter and mix together in bowl.
Add 1/4 cup Magnesium Oil and whisk thoroughly!!! Then whisk some more. You can put a few drops(3) of your choice of essential oils for what ever smell you want to create. Dont overdo it on the essential oils, just a hint of fufu!!
Pour into small ball canning glass jars and put UNCOVERED in the fridge over night to set up and harden. The next day, screw the lid on tight and mark cap with what it is and essential oil used. I keep these in the fridge until I use them. Shea Butter and Coconut Oil start to melt at a bit over 70*. When I want to give the wife a back rub, I take a jar out about an hour before so it isnt cold on her skin. It works double duty for us guys!!! She gets the back rub(which can lead to more fun) and the guy gets the Magnesium for his hands(arthritis) and both of you get the benefits of Magnesium absorbed in the skin, which is the best way for the body to uptake it!!! Plus it lets your lady and you make an afternoon of doing something in the kitchen together. If you want your aches and pains to simply disappear, try these out!! It relaxes you so much, it even causes drowsiness!!!
