Chronic Pain and Arthritis Natural Relief with Bulgarian Black Sea Lye

What is chronic pain?

Chronic pain is long standing pain that persists beyond the usual recovery period or occurs along with a chronic health condition, such as arthritis.  Chronic pain may be intermittent or non-stop.  It may affect people to the point that they can't exercise, work and eat normally, greatly reducing their quality of life

What is arthritis?

Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more joints, leading to pain and stiffness, which usually worsens with age.  While there are many types of arthritis, the two most common ones are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

One of the many places arthritis effects is the hands and wrists

Magnesium - a key player in arthritis treatment and relief

The magnesium found in Bulgarian Black Sea lye can directly relieve arthritic pain, while also relaxing and nourishing the individual's surrounding muscles and tissues.

Insufficient amounts of magnesium in tissues is a suspected major culprit for heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis.  It also leads to hardened and narrowed arteries, an uneven heart beat, high blood pressure and blood clotting.  Other symptoms include muscle spasms and weakened bones.

"Many people experience unnecessary pain from conditions like fibromyalgia, migraines, and muscle cramps, because they don't get enough magnesium," said Dr. Mildred Seilig, a lead magnesium researcher at the University of North Carolina.

The problem can be further exacerbated by other lifestyle choices, such as overloading on calcium, which depletes magnesium from cells and nullifies the efficacy of both minerals through its imbalancing effects.

Treat the cause, not the symptoms

Sufferers of chronic pain and arthritis are often misprescribed medication such as antidepressants, tranquilizers, and painkillers.  While they do treat the symptoms, they’re simply masking the root cause of the problem, and carry their own unique side effects along with them.

This is very disheartening as something as simple as topical magnesium can effectively treat the symptoms and the root cause of the ailment or disease, even when other diagnostic tests might suggest a different cause. 

Transdermal magnesium can effectively increase the concentration gradient between extracellular fluid and the cell membrane*, which modulates the activity of pain receptors such as NMDA.

The NMDA pain receptor is very sensitive to the magnesium balance in your body and is found all throughout the spinal cord, thus, is intimately implicated in several chronic neuropathic pain conditions.

Magnesiums effectiveness is not simply attributed to theory, but has also been proven in clinical trials, particularly as a conjunctive aid to opiate based painkillers, even for those suffering from post-operative trauma**.

Transdermal magnesium therapy, a safer alternative to painkillers

Transdermal magnesium therapy has been used for centuries in Bulgaria, often in combination with heat to stimulate blood circulation at the sight of application. 

When Black Sea Lye is applied directly to the skin, magnesium is almost immediately absorbed where it can act directly on the site of pain. It’s far safer and often more effective in the long term than many opiate based protocols which lead to nasty symptoms and often some degree of physical dependence.

Topical magnesium is also highly suited for athletes who need larger amount of magnesium at very specific tissues and muscles, which can be difficult to achieve via nutrition.
