Start Here

Blue Waters Apothecary was born from a personal return to simplicity, listening, and trust in the body's innate intelligence.

After years of seeking balance- physically, emotionally, and energetically- I was drawn back to the plants and Nature, herself. Herbal medicine became not just support, but relationship. Through careful study, experience, and reverence for nature, this apothecary emerged as an offering to others walking a similar path. This work is slow and intentional.

First time magnesium users:

Warning: many people who are new to using topical magnesium may experience an itching/tingling sensation. The following article explains why:

Reasons Why Magnesium Stings: There is a very strong link between low levels of magnesium in the body and the stinging caused by magnesium oil. In most cases, people who experience this burning sensation during or after applying magnesium balm believe that their skin is sensitive to magnesium oil. However, this is not always true. The reasons why magnesium can cause skin tingling can be any or the combination of the following:

Severe deficiency:
Magnesium oil causing itchiness can be the sign of low levels of the mineral in your body. Therefore, the more severe the deficiency is, the more severe the sensation. Itchiness is often a side effect when magnesium deficient skin is first introduced to Magnesium. This "urgency reaction" causes the blood vessels to open quickly, creating friction under the skin. This sensation and other side effects should subside when the product is used consistently, and the body no longer has the "urgency reaction".

Too much magnesium at once:
Rubbing a ton of magnesium on your skin can be tempting if you are deficient, however, it is not always the best idea. Suddenly ramping up the amount of magnesium oil you apply may contribute to the stinging sensation. Gradually your body gets used to the topical magnesium, especially if you are a first-time user.

Vasodilatation:
Magnesium acts as the vasodilator that relaxes muscle cells and increases blood flow in capillaries. This may also cause a stinging sensation.

Salt residue:
Technically speaking, magnesium oil is Magnesium Chloride Brine, i.e. salt water. Once the oil has been absorbed into the skin, it may leave behind a slight residue, which can trigger itchiness for individuals with sensitive skin.
