Magnesium…..Who would of thought?

MAGNESIUM…. No wonder I love the Epson bath salt so much!

When I met with my Doctor this past week he suggested I start taking 300 mg of magnesium in pill form each day. He recommend this in order to help boost my adrenal glands. He explained that having my adrenals not functioning properly lead to the cause of my breathing attacks as well as my migraines which stem from the nerves being pinched in my neck with each of my sarcoidosis lung flare-ups.

I told him as soon as my body starts into a breathing attack, myself or my family, quickly start a hot bath with Epson magnesium salt in it. We dump about 2 cups in each time. I thought I was just doing what I know relaxes me, but come to find the magnesium in the salt is actually the best thing I can do to help calm my adrenals. Bathing in magnesium quickly helps my body return to its normal breathing pattern and gets me out of my attack. I was so excited to be able to start taking it orally today and hopefully by taking magnesium internally will help me  avoid having further breathing attacks.

I am also hopeful that my neck pain and migraines will lessen with each of my lung flare-ups as I take this supplement. Having no control over stressors in your life both internally and externally can leave you with a pretty helpless feeling. I am really praying that this will work wonders for me and potentially eliminate yet another complication from this disease. So thankful for professionals who educate themselves and their patients with what we can do to help our bodies heal naturally.
