Pure Magnesium Flakes

This relatively inexpensive product (amazon) has been referred to as Epsom Salt on Crack!

Have not purchased or tried in an enema.

Anyone out there have any experiences with these Flakes?

Metallic magnesium wouldn't work because it's metallic, not an ion as it is in Epsom salts. The ions work because of osmosis. Most people who buy this will be using it for fires or pyrotechnics. Do yourself a favor and don't try it in an enema.

Thanks Moliere for the heads-up regarding pure magnesium flakes.

There is another Magnesium product which has been highly touted as a "calmative" The brand name is Totally Calm. The active and only ingredient is ionic magnesium citrate. It comes as a powder to be mixed with water.

Amazon has a generic which sells for half the cost of the brand name.

How would one use this powder in an enema? Any idea regarding proportions? Could the right mixture cause cramping and be difficult to hold?

Most so-called "magnesium oil" supplements have warnings for external use only. I think the concern is heavy metal contamination even with carefully mined sources. If I really wanted to try a magnesium enema I'd use an OTC supplement but at a very low amount. This is because of extra kidney work getting rid of any excess!

Absolutely ccorrect! Magnesium powder and flakes are used in explosives, MOT in medicine. Epsom salts are magnesium sulfate, and magnesium citrate is a powerful laxative. Both work VERY well whether taken orally or as an enema. They work fast and can produce a complete emptying of the digestive tract when used orally.

If you want to try them thru the other end, be prepared for a crampy ride and a day spent on the porcelain throne!

The calming powder will fizz & dissolves in water. You could follow the oral dose but I wouldn't overdo to try for more effects. Magnesium laxatives work by osmotic irritation and the whole process isn't really desirable very often if you get my drift 😄

Osmotic laxatives work by using salts to retain water in the intestine, or draw water into the intestine from the body (this is how Fleet enemas work - put a small amount in, then it draws water from the body to make more volume). Rectally hyperosmotic solutions (solutions that draw water into the intestine) will irritate and cause a reaction that way, and I've heard that the magnesium ion (Mg++) also encourages the intestine to start peristalsis.

I haven't tried magnesium citrate rectally, but orally it did work...eventually. I was very glad I didn't have anywhere to go the next morning, because it definitely wasn't "45 minutes to 4 hours" or whatever it said on the label. It was supposed to be done before I went to bed, but it didn't start until the morning. On the plus side if you squirt it up your butt you don't have to worry about how it tastes 😄 . I imagine it would also produce effects slightly faster. I'd go with the label dose to start, or maybe make it a bit weaker (same amount of powder but more water). Magnesium is suppose to be poorly absorbed, but you don't want to get too much in your body.

I have been recently trying magnesium chloride flake enema solution. I am very pleased with it in every way. It even tends to lubricate and massage people call it magnesium oil because it feels slick. The after aura is very pleasant. Much better than just filtered water enema. Enviromedica dotcom has an excellent 8 pound bag for the best price around.

Magnesium Flakes ?

Anyone using magnesium flakes for health benefits.

What quantity in 2 quarts.

Magnesium is insoluble in water.

‘Magnesium flakes’ are in fact magnesium chloride (which is indeed soluble). I’ve no comment on any supposed health benefits except that a normal diet will provide you with adequate magnesium. I would guess that in an enema it would work much like magnesium sulphate, but be aware that excessive magnesium can be harmful.
