#8 Mag Phos

If you feel tight, tense, in a knot, then think Mag phos, and relax. The biochemist/physician who established the cell salts, Wilhelm Scheussler advised us that an imbalance in our magnesium causes nerves and muscles to get out of sync. They cramp, spasm and shoot off pains. As phosphorus is vital to many chemical reactions in the body, the phosphate in this compound is equally vital.

Mag phos aids many symptoms that occur when nerves and muscles cannot cooperate these include leg cramps, menstrual cramps, abdominal pain or colic, backache, writer’s cramps, muscular tension, hiccoughs, tics, twitches, certain cases of urinary leaking at night and other cramp symptoms. For pain, Mag phos specializes in radiating pains, but applies well to shooting, stabbing pains as well. It can be very useful for stabbing headaches, backache, back pain, facial pain, toothache and right-sided ear pain.

Now for the big IF: an important key to Mag phos’ relief is that symptoms feel better for heat and worse for cold. This is so strong that many recommend a sip or two of hot water immediately after taking the remedy to speed the action of mag phos. If a hot bath, hot tea, and a warm bed sound ideal, add Mag phos to maximize the relief.
