Trauma and the body holding emotions is something I’m storing. If I’m in distress, for whatever reasons, my pain levels are always higher. Always. The effects of a stressful month don’t always show immediately either, it can take three months for it to show in my cycle.

I think emotional links (but not blame) is the next revelation in wellness. We’ve known for a long time emotions have links to physical symptoms, but it’s been used as a form of blame and not as a signal or signpost in the direction of wellness.

Work like yours is the forefront of this change. I love this nitty gritty let’s get healing stuff ❤️‍🩹

I absolutely love this piece. I feel like it’s a slightly different style than usually but I love it too! I love the variety of angles you approach healing from migraines.

Depending on which study, age group and what country you read about, between 70-80+% of people are not consuming enough magnesium. One contributor is the way in which we farm the same crops in the same soil. It’s depleting the soil of the nutrients and therefore the plants which we’re consuming. Permaculture farming (aka how our grandparents or ancestors farmed) is a way of farming which is addressing this, if you’re looking for more nutrient dense foods.

I used the word consume, which isn’t quite accurate, we can indeed intake magnesium through the skin and it’s a particularly good way to take it if there are gut absorption issues.

BIG magnesium lover and geek. There are several times of supplements, if that’s how you chose to consume it, so I recommend speaking with a nutritionist or dietitian before taking any. Ask for good brands in your area. Magnesium sprays are great for those with muscle pain, hello endo/muscle fatigue.

Anyway I’ve just dumped magnesium knowledge here, not really answering any of your questions. I think most people reading this could look at their magnesium intake 🤗😊
