Magnesium chloride, when used as a topical, such as the Life Elements CBD Bath Salts, can serve as a sleep aid, with several benefits:

  1. Relaxation: Magnesium is known to promote relaxation and calmness in the body, which can help to reduce feelings of anxiety and stress that can interfere with sleep.

  2. Improved Sleep Quality: Magnesium can help to regulate the production of melatonin, a hormone that plays a key role in regulating sleep patterns. This can help to improve the quality of sleep and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep.

  3. Reduced muscle tension: Magnesium can help to relax the muscles and reduce muscle tension, which can lead to a reduction in pain and discomfort that can prevent sleep.

  4. Reduced insomnia symptoms: Magnesium can help to reduce symptoms of insomnia, such as difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep and early morning awakenings.

  5. Improved cardiovascular health: Magnesium can help to regulate blood pressure, which can promote better cardiovascular health.


Magnesium chloride is also known for its transdermal properties, which means it can be easily absorbed through the skin...like when you are soaking in a luxuriously warm bath with our Life Elements CBD Bath Salts (which contain a full cup of Magnesium Chloride flakes).

It is important to mention that magnesium chloride can also interact with other medications, or have side effects, therefore it's important to consult with a healthcare professional before using it as a sleep aid, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking any medications.
