This week I would like to write about one of my favourite Schuessler salts, namely Mag phos. Favourite Schuessler salt may not be quite the right phrase, because I love them all!
But Magnesium phosphoricum is something special, which is why I also call it my 'heart-warmer' salt. You should know that magnesium is only really effective when it is dissolved in water and drunk hot.
So when I suffer from a cramp, I take my 'heart-warmer' mug from the kitchen cupboard, dissolve 10 Mag phos tablets (D6) in a cup of hot water and make myself comfortable, because the water should be sipped.
(You can also pour the 'hot 7', as this drink is often called, into a thermos flask and place it by the bedside in the evening. If you wake during the night with a cramp, you'll have the soothing remedy ready and can take a sip.)
You may be wondering what type of cramp Magnesium phosphoricum is particularly good for. To be honest: many. A 'hot 7' brings relief in most cases, whether it's menstrual cramps, calf cramps or growing pains. Even stubborn hiccups have responded well to this remedy.
When you prepare a 'hot 7', please make sure you drink the water as hot as possible, and the stronger the cramps, the more often you should take a sip.
Mag phos is almost an emergency remedy, meaning the effect comes quickly but does not last very long. Therefore you may take it as often as necessary. In other words: you take the salt until you notice a marked improvement, even if it takes several hours.
As soon as the symptoms ease, you may stop taking the remedy. Of course this Schuessler salt is not the only remedy for cramps, but it is one of the first to consider. However, if you don't notice any improvement after one or two cups of 'hot 7', it's time to try something else.
I have written about Mag phos several times and cannot emphasise often enough the wonderfully healing effect of this remedy. It has helped me, my family and many, many people in my practice incredibly often. My father also benefited from it when he had to go to hospital because of angina pectoris (also a kind of muscle cramp).
Thank you Mag phos!
