World Health Day is more than just a date on the calendar — it’s a reminder to pause, reflect, and invest in the simple daily habits that build a strong foundation for long-term wellness.
Celebrated each year on April 7, the 2025 theme “Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures” shines a spotlight on maternal and newborn health — supporting both mothers and babies to thrive from day one. It’s a timely reminder that caring for our health today lays the foundation for a brighter, healthier future — for ourselves, our children, and our families.
This key date on the global wellness calendar also highlights the power of small, consistent choices that add up to a healthier, happier life. And if there’s one mineral that deserves a starring role in your wellness routine, it’s magnesium.
An essential building block for feeling balanced, energised, and well-rested — let’s explore why this mighty mineral should be a non-negotiable part of your daily routine.
The Magic of Magnesium
Did you know magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body?
It helps regulate stress, improve sleep quality, support muscle recovery, and even boost energy levels.
But here’s the thing — most of us aren’t getting enough of it. Our modern lifestyles, processed foods, and constant stress can deplete our magnesium levels, leaving us feeling fatigued, restless, and out of balance.
Because the body can’t produce magnesium on its own, replenishing through external sources is essential — and this is where topical magnesium becomes a total gamechanger for your wellbeing.
Here’s how magnesium can support your body and mind:
• Better Sleep: Magnesium supports the production of GABA, a neurotransmitter that helps your body and mind relax, making it easier to fall (and stay) asleep.
• Less Stress, More Calm: It helps regulate cortisol (your stress hormone), keeping you feeling more balanced even on the busiest days.
• Muscle Recovery & Energy: Whether you’re an athlete or just tackling daily life, magnesium helps with muscle relaxation, recovery, and reducing cramps.
• Nervous System Support: It plays a key role in brain function and mood regulation, helping to combat anxiety and mental fatigue.
These benefits aren’t just for adults — children can experience better sleep and fewer growing pains with consistent magnesium support, too.
Simple Healthy Habits to Support Your Magnesium Levels
The good news? Boosting your magnesium levels doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are some easy, effective ways to make it a part of your everyday routine:
Use Topical Magnesium
Our Salt Lab Magnesium Oil Spray is designed for easy absorption through the skin, making it a simple, effective way to replenish your levels.
Make it part of your evening routine by spritzing 2 to 4 sprays on your feet, or 4 to 6 sprays on your stomach if you’re a regular magnesium user.
Always on the go? Our handy travel-sized Magnesium Spray is the perfect companion to support you when you need it most.
Prioritise Rest and Recovery
Create a calming evening ritual with a warm bath using our Reset Bath Salts. Made with a soothing blend of premium, 100% magnesium chloride flakes, Dead Sea salts, and bentonite clay, they gently penetrate the skin and muscles to detoxify and nourish — preparing you for deep, restful sleep.
Post-soak, pour yourself a herbal tea (we love Chamomile or Rooibos), and wind down with a gratitude journal to clear your mind after a hectic day.
Reduce Stress Triggers
Stress drains magnesium levels, so finding ways to stay calm — whether it’s a morning walk, a journaling session, or simply unplugging from screens before bed — can help you maintain balance.
Incorporating mindfulness, gentle movement, and balanced nutrition also helps keep your nervous system nourished and supported. Whole, nutrient-rich foods, staying hydrated, and even a few minutes of daily deep breathing can make a big difference.
This World Health Day, Prioritise You
Wellness doesn’t have to be overwhelming — it starts with small, sustainable steps.
