DO YOU suffer from hair loss? Finally, here is the solution!

NordenBladet – Throughout the ages, hair has been a symbol of femininity, and the appearance of hair has always been very important to women. Hair shows who we are and what we value. Women have a deeply personal relationship with their hair. When something is wrong with your hair, it also affects your self-esteem and the rest of your day.

But hair also mirror of our health. Our appearance always tells the story of our health, and ignoring it can lead to serious health problems. Dull and lifeless hair speak of a lesion, vitamin deficiency or inadequate care under the surface of the skin. For example, hair thinning has often been reported in hypothyroidism, according to medifee.com. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. Hair follicles are put to rest in case of hypothyroidis, and the scalp can not do its work efficiently.

According to a recent survey, a large proportion of women are dissatisfied with their hair, PRNewswire reports. According to MedicineNet, most people experience hair loss in their lifetime. A recent hair survey in China shows that the problem has started to affect even younger people, reports South China Morning Post. Alopecia (Alopecia areata) is a common autoimmune skin disease that causes hair loss on the scalp and body. It usually begins with one or more small, round and smooth patches on the scalp and may lead to loss of all hair (Alopecia totalis) or whole body hair (body hair + hair) (Alopecia universalis). Alopecia occurs in both men and women of all ages. The condition often begins in childhood. It is estimated that the condition affects about 147 million people worldwide.

According to the US National Library of Medicine / National Institutes of Health, one reason for hair loss may be magnesium deficiency. Particularly severe magnesium deficiency can occur in menopausal women. During menopause, when the body’s hormonal state changes, it often results in a decrease in the level of magnesium in the body, and hair loss is one of the most common ailments. Magnesium deficiency has a direct effect on skin structure, hair growth and health.

Although magnesium deficiency affects as many as 80% of people, the mineral has not received enough attention in the past, reports the renowned American National Health Press, PubMed. Much has been said about the importance of calcium, but for some reason, magnesium has stayed in the background.

What has led to a large proportion of people suffering from magnesium deficiency?
A researcher at the University of Missouri has pointed out in a ResearchGate report that among the reasons are diseases that burden the body, the drugs used, and the fact that today’s food contains insufficient amounts of magnesium. Excessive use of pesticides in agriculture has reduced the nutrients in fruits, including magnesium, writes ScienceDirect. People are also eating more and more processed foods that are low in nutrients.

How much magnesium a person has in the body also depends on vitamin D, as the latter improves the absorption of magnesium.

If you want your hair to be in good health, avoid magnesium deficiency! If possible, always use topical magnesium supplements, as the pills put unnecessary strain on the stomach. In Scandinavia and the Nordic countries, Magnesium Hair Energy Maximus + Scalp Spray (75ml) has become a true hit. It is a 100% natural product made by an Estonian cosmetics manufacturer Elisheva & Shoshana. It is a unique hair care product that helps regulate the metabolism of the hair, as it removes calcium salts deposited on the scalp, which block the supply of oxygen to the scalp. For best results, it is recommended to use it with E & S’ special deep cleansing shampoo Aloe Vera+ Deep Cleansing Detox Scalp Treatment Shampoo (200ml).

This is a very effective product for those who suffer from hair loss or experience very slow hair growth. E & S’ hair spray is easily absorbed. Let it stay on for 5–15 seconds before washing the hair.

The product can be ordered from the Elisheva & Shoshana website: https://elishevashoshana.com. Give your hair new life! The full product description, its therapeutic properties and usage information are available on the website in Estonian, English, Finnish, Swedish, Russian and Latvian.

Do you LOVE to sleep long? 7 PROVEN TIPS to prevent oversleeping!

By
NordenBladet
-

NordenBladet – Did you know that sleeping for too long or more than ten hours has a negative effect on your well-being, concentration and even on your appetite? According to sleep expert Olivia Arezzolo, there has been a lot of talk about the dangers of insufficient sleep, yet we must not forget the dangers of oversleeping.

Hypersomnia is a sleep disorder that disturbs your sleep-wake rhythm. Unbalanced circadian rhythm affects hormones, which in turn determine your energy level.

Although sleep should offer rest, sleeping too long can make you feel even more tired.

When you are tired both mentally and physically, it is difficult to stay focused at work and at school.

According to the sleep expert, research has shown that the mental capacity of those who sleep for too long suffers, including their concentration, mental agility, decision-making and memory.
If you sleep too long, your serotonin or happiness hormone levels will drop, which can lead to depression.

In addition, hypersomnia can be a cause of headaches.

Being in one position for a long time makes your body stiff and causes discomfort.

If you miss your regular breakfast, the resulting dehydration and low blood sugar level can lead to headaches.

Oversleeping makes you tired, thus it becomes more difficult to exercise. Studies have shown that those who sleep for too long are 21% more likely to gain weight.

How to prevent oversleeping?
– Try to go to bed at a certain time.
– Do not spend time in front of the screens, as the blue light will interfere with your sleep.
– Take a relaxing salt bath before going to bed. To maintain your body, we recommend using only natural, clean and high-quality goods of Nordic origin. The hand-made E&S Lavender and Himalayan Pink Halite Bath Salt by the Estonian handicraft cosmetics brand Elisheva & Shoshana is a natural bath supplement that rejuvenates, soothes, moisturizes and invigorates the skin with a wide spectrum of effects. It contains many antioxidants that give an extra shield for the organism and help attain and maintain healthy body mass. Crystal salt contains nearly a hundred valuable natural minerals that strengthen the organism, it regulates the function of sebaceous glands, boosts circulatory function and has an antibacterial effect. Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) strengthens the capillary walls, reduces skin irritation, helps tackle dermal shortcomings, has a rejuvenating and naturally calming effect. It positively boosts wellbeing via regulating the stress hormone cortisol levels in blood.


– Drink a soothing herbal tea (e.g. chamomile tea) about an hour before bedtime.
– Avoid magnesium deficiency. Magnesium helps the muscles relax. Magnesium Oil Natural STRONG 31% Body Spray from Elisheva & Shoshana, which offers top-quality natural cosmetics made in Estonia, is a 100% natural health product that relieves muscle tension, muscle cramps and balances the nervous system.

E&S magnesium oil spray is well-absorbed through the skin, within 5-15 seconds it has entered the cells. Ten doses of spray amount to 150-180 mg of the product ( 43-60 % RDA). About 95% of the applied magnesium enters the cells, the absorption through the skin is therefore preferred to oral intake in the form of capsules, powder or pill, also transdermal application of magnesium entails no gastric or intestinal burden. The product can be sprayed onto the tongue, however it does not have a pleasant taste.

Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) can help alleviate the following complaints: depression, anxiety, fatigue, headache, asthma, muscular tensions, painful joints, sleeping problems, spasms, intestinal complaints, accumulation of toxins (detox effect), excess weight, magnesium deficit. Magnesium chloride is an important factor in the elimination of toxic elements and heavy metals and helps recover the minerals balance in the organism, it regulates the cholesterol level and normalizes the values of blood pressure.

– Think about what is good in your life and be grateful for it.
– Try to meditate — it calms you and gives a good night’s sleep.

NEWLY LAUNCHED STUDY: Coronavirus spreads further than authorities claim, virus STAYS IN THE AIR for 30 minutes

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

NordenBladet – Authorities recommend people to keep a distance of 1–2 meters to avoid catching the virus, but according to a recent study, the virus can infect people as far as 4.5 meters. The virus also remains viable in the air for 30 minutes, so people should wear face masks. A study conducted by leading Chinese epidemiologists shows that the virus can survive days on surfaces. Therefore a person who comes in contact with a surface and then touches their face can become infected, the South China Morning Post reports.

The virus survival on surfaces depends on temperature and material, for example, at 37 C it can survive for 2–3 days on glass, fabric, metal, plastic and paper.

The study calls into question the authorities’ recommendation to keep 1–2 meters away from other people. A study published in the scientific journal Practical Preventive Medicine states that in an enclosed air-conditioned space, the coronavirus spreads beyond 1–2 meters. The study points out that the virus remains viable on the bus even when the passenger has already left.

Scientists also warn that the virus will remain viable for more than 5 days in human stools and body fluids. The study supports the recommendation to wash hands and wear face masks in public places because of the risk of airborne infection. Scientists recommend wearing a face mask for the duration of a bus ride.

The researchers’ study is based on January 22 bus rides during the Chinese New Year. The patient was already sick when they sat in a 48-seat bus. The patient did not communicate with other passengers, but by the time the bus arrived to the next city, 7 passengers had already become infected. These included not only the passengers sitting near the patient zero, but also those sitting 6 rows away, at 4.5 meters. All of them were diagnosed with the coronavirus, including one person who did not develop symptoms of the disease.

12 SIMPLE AND TESTED TRUTHS that help you reach the breakthrough in your life!

By
Helena-Reet Ennet

NordenBladet – Fortune and success have different meanings for different people. For an ambitious person it is not just the promotion at work or a dream home, but constantly overcoming obstacles and setting new tasks and solving them. While success can have also many definitions, the basics are the same. In order to achieve anything you must take action and set clear and articulated goals for yourself.

1. THE PLAN – the secret behind every success story is a well prepared plan. Without a plan you will be sensessly running around. Take time to think where you are now, where you want to go and what are the steps to reach that destination.

2. KNOWLEDGE – learning could be a lifelong journey. Take interest in life, be curious, read, visit exhibitions, attend fairs, conferences and develop yourself constantly. You will always be seeking opportunities to make yourself better. You know that you are capable of more and you make the effort.

3. TIME IS PRECIOUS – use your time efficiently! Learn to plan and use your time and avoid activities that won’t bring you closer to your goal. At the same time, do not become robot, because you will always also need time for yourself, for your dearest and for a rest. Having a rest is also a part of efficient planning. Without a rest you won’t be able to focus during the work hours.

4. WAKE UP EARLIER THAN OTHERS – do you sometimes think how some people can manage to do so much in one day. Actually there is no great mystery behind it. Very many of the successful people just wake up early enough. Waking up 1-2 hours earlier every day will give you a great time benefit!

5. WORK on your character – people with a nasty character are liked by nobody and people with a nasty character are not those that will be chosen to collaboration teams. Be kind, honest, and trustworthy. Do not only care and take interest in your individual emotions. Being honest and polite helps you open more doors that you could guess. Be confident, but not insolent. Confidence will differentiate you from others who have no trust in their potential. When you believe that you can handle everything then this is the first step on the way of realizing your wishes. Yet you must not become over confident since that would be disturbing and will hinder you from analyzing yourself as a bystander.

6. BE SELFLESS – in other words don’t be an egoist! Many successful business ideas have grown out from the wish to help others. When you hold on to this wish then you could be able to achieve a lot in your life. You wish to begin your own business? Think of how you could be useful to others and begin with it. Your wish to help others might finally benefit you greatly.

7. DISCIPLINE AND CONTINUITY – self discipline, patience and continuity will often take people further than great talent and advantages. Everyone will fall but there are less of those who don’t mind getting up again. Don’t break, think everything through once again, if necessary, apply some changes and keep moving towards your dreams! Be the person that can overcome obstacles! You always keep moving and will let nothing stop you. Giving up is not your style.

8. FIND MOTIVATION – without passion everything is more difficult to achieve. Find out what ignites you and use it to motivate you. An even better recommendation would be to only engage in the things that are really of interest to you.

9. DO NOT CRITICIZE – people who talk behind someone’s back, see only the negative side of everything and only criticize are mostly just a smartasses. Instead of boosting your ego by diminishing others, make your own self bigger and more lovable. A successful person is a diplomat, and an honest partner.

10. GIVE UP, SOMETIMES – you will understand how important it can sometimes be to say “no”. You are not afraid of giving negative answers to people. You know that being negative about low priorities allows you to be positive about high priorities.

11. DON’T BE AFRAID OF NEGATIVE FEEDBACK – you are not intimidated when someone says something negative. You will differentiate between an insult based on malicious envy and a genuine constructive negative remark.

12. MAINTAIN YOUR HEALTH – you take care of your health, because you know that without health there is no success, and there is nothing to do with knowledge and wealth. Thus you eat, sleep, drink and breath healthily as much as possible.

Find out if you are a MENTALLY STRONG PERSON + 15 things that self-confident people never do!

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

NordenBladet – One of the secrets of a happy life is the setting of challenges to oneself and then overcoming them. However, in theory it is always easier than in practice and thus in many cases people tend to lack self confidence and mental strength. People will solve problems differently, yet in order to achieve success it is most important that you change your set of mind – then your life will change along with the changing results! You can lead your life to the right direction and for this you must practice a proper attitude and not always settle for the easier way out.

1. ADJUSTMENT – a mentally strong person will adapt to new situations and is open to changes. A horizontal education and ability to adapt will guarantee success in the globalising society!

2. KEEPING CALM – even in the most complicated of situations you can remain calm and solve the problem intellectually. You avoid raising your voice.

3. REJECTING THE SUPERFICIAL – your thoughts, interests and actions are not superficial and you go further than the sweep-by-everything subjects. You do not see things only as they appear at first sight. You look into things and explore before drawing any conclusions.

4. ABILITY TO APOLOGIZE – an intelligent and mentally strong person will know when is time to apologize and this serves as elementary politeness, nothing to be ashamed of. You will realize when you have made a mistake and you are not afraid to admit your mistakes. You understand that by apologizing you will leave a better impression of yourself.

5. WHEN DOING SOMETHING YOU DO NOT EXCEPT A RETURN – selfless personalities will achieve more than those who only do things to get sth in return and for selfish reasons. Whenever you do a favor, you do not suppose the person will pay you back somehow. A mentally strong person will give to others more than they take.

6. YOU KNOW THE LIMITS – everyone of us has boundaries. And all situations have boundaries. A smart person will explore them, will set limits, will see that others do not cross the boundaries, and will respect the boundaries of others.

7. DO NOT PITY THEMSELVES – it is easy to become depressed and let the negative feelings take over. Yet self pity will not solve any problems. Instead of that the mentally strong person will think how to change the circumstances and how to turn the negative energy into positive energy.

8. LISTEN TO GOOD ADVICE – you are open to feedback and will listen to what others have to say. You are not afraid to express your opinion, neither are you turning a deaf ear to the opinions of others, be these positive or negative. You are open to feedback since you know that you can learn from it.

9. TRUST YOUR INNER FEELINGS – you rely on your inner feeling. You believe in experience, while this helps you recognize your inner voice and will help listen to it.

10. YOU ARE PRECISE – a mentally strong person is precise. No one needs to be waiting after them, and also their own schedules are carefully planned. You avoid postponing things. You like completing projects and assignments before moving on to new ones.

11. YOU CAN SAY “NO” – a mentally strong person will establish themselves and is not afraid to say “no”. Not everything must be liked, not everything can always be done, and you need not be everywhere always. You select the activities based on your needs and the schedule for the day.

12. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CANNOT CHANGE EVERYTHING – there are things in life that we cannot change. There is no need to fight the unavoidable. Settle with the situation and move forward!

13. NOBODY LIKES A NOBODY – you must focus on yourself and worry less about what someone thinks about you. There is no pleasing everybody.

14. ABILITY TO FORGIVE – a mentally strong person is generous and sincere. Such a person will get on well with own self, will trust oneself and therefore will be able to forgive oneself as well as others. There is no reason to carry the negative burden. Every person has been born to develop spiritually, and there are inevitably mistakes and falling down now and then on the way.

15. LET OTHERS HELP YOU – you are ready to receive help. You know exactly the areas where you face deficiencies and you are not afraid to ask for help from others. Two heads are two heads!

NordenBladet – During the weekend the weather was wonderful and since dandelions have already opened their beautiful yellow blossoms I decided to go and gather them. The dandelion is a herb with might and I gather them every year, reveals Helena-Reet Ennet in her ElishevaShoshana.com handicraft and lifestyle blog.

I use dandelions in meals of salad (roots, leaves, stems, blossoms) and I collect and dry the buds to prepare from them tasty herbal tea during the winter. Besides, I prepare soap from the extract and dried herbs of dandelions.

Our E&S handmade Goat milk and Dandelion soap is a madly popular hit product, especially among people with sensitive skin. Read about the product HERE. I gather dandelions from the clean fields of Estonia and Sweden, away from urban pollution, the majority stems from my own land. I like to know that the herb has been collected from clean and pure nature, from the non-polluted land.

I am completely anti-insect repellent. The dandelion nurtures and pampers the skin and besides it is also a helpful against parasites. Therefore it is efficient as antiseptic agent – the hands become clean with the help of nature! Vitamins A, B6, B12 and E that are found in goat milk have shown great results in the rejuvenation of skin cells and the treatment of acne.

NordenBladet – For the past six years excessive obesity has continued to be normalized among the working population. The most dangerous is the effect of the form of obesity that is located around internal organs. Among the alarm signs is the stout waistline.

Doctor Michael Mosley’s cord test is an easy way to determine whether there is excessive fat around your waist. You would need a strong thin cord and scissors. From the cod, cut a piece as long as your full height. After that, fold the cord once and see if uou can easily cover the waist line with it. In case the ends of the cord do not meet and there is a significantly large space between the two ends, your waistline might be too large. Excessive obesity has harmful effects for the liver. Also, excessive obesity is the cause for developing type II diabetes, sleep apnea, asthma and some types of cancer. Therefore, if you failed the cord test, you would need to focus on the healthy menu and sufficient physical activity. You must make better choices to maintain good health.

THIS IS WHY you need Magnesium when you’re constantly stressed or anxious

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

NordenBladet – Anxiety and stress are seemingly becoming more and more common. Luckily, there could be a simple way to help alleviate this without pumping your body full of prescription medications. That’s not to say that prescription medications aren’t sometimes useful, but they’re very expensive and often have unwanted side effects.

Magnesium Importance
Magnesium is known as the ‘original chill pill’. It plays an important part in biochemical reactions throughout the human body, including those related to anxiety and stress. Dietary surveys of people in the United States consistently show that intakes of magnesium are lower than recommended amounts. Since the end of the Second World War, reported levels of anxiety have risen alarmingly. This corresponds with the low rates of magnesium. You may think that this is a coincidence, but scientists have found a demonstrable link between the two. It is even possible to cause lab animals to display anxiety by depriving them of magnesium.

Magnesium Deficiency
In 1968, scientists named Wacker and Parisi reported that magnesium deficiency could cause depression, behavioral disturbances, headaches, muscle cramps, seizures, ataxia, psychosis, and irritability. They also found that these were all reversible with magnesium repletion.

Magnesium Supplements
Studies have shown that useing magnesium supplements can help alleviate some of the symptoms associated with anxiety and stress and can effectively lower rates of anxiety related symptoms.

Magnesium Rich Foods
If taking a supplement isn’t for you, why not try increasing the amount you get in your diet? In general, foods containing dietary fiber provide magnesium, but some foods, such as certain breakfast cereals, have magnesium and other nutrients specially added to them. Since many people have a magnesium deficiency, it’s worth making a mental note of some magnesium-rich foods.

Nuts & Seeds
Some nuts, like almonds, cashews, and peanuts can give you up to 20% of the RDI (recommended daily intake) of magnesium in just 1 ounce of nuts in addition to being full of heart-friendly healthy fatty acids and a highly filling snack. One ounce of pumpkin seeds provides a whopping 37% of the RDI for magnesium.

Veggies
Spinach is basically a superfood when it comes to almost every nutrient it contains, and for magnesium, it’s no exception. With just half a cup providing you with a massive 20% of your RDI, it’s a very easy way to include more magnesium in your diet.

Fruit
One single medium banana contains up to 8% of your RDI for magnesium. Apples only contain around 2%, but grab one of each for a decent 10% chunk from an also extremely healthy snack.

Meat & Fish
Not all fish contain magnesium but 3 ounces of halibut or salmon contain up to 7% of your RDI. Chicken breasts and ground lean beef contain 6% and 5% respectively, per 3 ounces.

Other Food
Have two shredded wheat with a cup of soy milk for breakfast and you’ve hit 30% of your recommended daily magnesium. This can be before the caffeine from your morning coffee has even hit you. At 15% of the RDI each, this breakfast is a fantastic start to the day. Add half a cup of raisins for a tasty treat and top it up to 36%.

Rice and other grains also contain a high level of magnesium. Unfortunately, some types of food processing, such as refining grains in ways that remove the nutrient-rich germ and bran, lower magnesium content substantially. You should always try to choose the less processed version. For example, half a cup of cooked white rice contains 3% of your RDI of magnesium, whereas the brown version contains almost 4 times that amount, coming in at 11% for the same quantity.

According to dermatologists, the warm and humid conditions of your bathroom during and after showers or baths can make your makeup expire more quickly. It’s better to store your daily makeup in your bedroom instead.

2. Store your less frequently used creams and serums in the fridge.
It’s best to store any creams, eye creams or serums in the fridge as it will allow for a longer shelf life. It’s also especially good for eye creams as the cooling sensation reduces puffiness under the eyes. But please don’t put oils, pressed powder, lipsticks or eyeliners in the fridge.

3. Always use sunscreen.
Remember when your mom used to slap on the sunscreen to your face and body, well… mother knows best because sunscreen is vital to your skin care. Kim Kardashian’s LA-based dermatologist, Dr. Harold Lancer, recommends that sunscreen of SPF 30+ be worn daily to prevent the skin from UV damage, aging and unwanted dark spots.

4. Don’t wear makeup to the gym. Just don’t.
I know it’s hard to resist putting on a bit of makeup for your cute workout selfie, but you probably already knew this one. Working out in your makeup is truthfully speaking, a crime against your skin… the worst culprit: foundation. Sweat mixed in with makeup creates perfect conditions for acne to appear. So just don’t.

If you absolutely cannot resist, then go for a super light BB Cream or a water-proof, silicone-based mascara at most. Make sure that you cleanse your face thoroughly immediately after if you decide to break a sweat with makeup on your face. Or just use the cute puppy filter.

5. Regularly clean the things that touch your face.
Your phone is probably one of the dirtiest things you own and you definitely carelessly throw it on your bed and slap it against your face all the time. Make sure you regularly cleaning the things that constantly touch your face, like your phone and your pillowcase. Dr. Harold Lancer recommends washing or changing your pillowcase once a week and cleaning your phone with cleansing wipes.

6. Avoid touching your face as much as possible.
Your fingers have been everywhere and you know it. Try to avoid touching your face as much as you can with unwashed hands as you can easily transfer bacteria to the skin and cause breakouts.

7. Never ever sleep in your makeup.
This one is also pretty obvious, but even on the nights when you’re drunk AF and literally can’t, even on the nights when you’re tired AF and literally can’t, even on the nights when you’ve had amazing sex and just want to cuddle bae until you fall asleep… don’t. Make sure you wash your entire face thoroughly before hitting the hay. Sleeping in your makeup will clog your pores and cause breakouts.

If you still literally can’t, keep some makeup wipes by your bed and at least take your foundation off.


Taking salt baths increases blood volume that can significantly alleviate chronic fatigue syndrome. Infections and toxins can cause dehydration of the organism. Sea salt helps the body take in more water and this is beneficial for the lymphatic system, besides it is part of the osmotic processes and efficiently cleans the cells that way.

8. Take regular salt baths
Crystal salt contains nearly a hundred valuable natural minerals that strengthen the organism, it regulates the function of sebaceous glands, boosts circulatory function and has an antibacterial effect.

We suggest:

Sea minerals include 90 different minerals and microelements that help clean the organism from toxins, regulate the function of sebaceous glands and keep the skin young and fresh.

9. Don’t exfoliate if you have acne.
According to Beverly Hills dermatologist Dr. Christie Kidd, you should never exfoliate your skin if you have active acne. Using face scrubs will only lead to more irritation and worse inflammation. But DO exfoliate regularly if your skin is acne free.

10. Don’t overuse pore strips.
While pore strips are super fun to use because you get to see all the little white heads stick to the strips, using them too much can actually result in enlarged pores. Instead, it’s better to lightly steam your face in the shower, sauna, or over a facial steamer to naturally open up the pores, use a cleanser to clear out the pores, and then apply a cooling toner to close them up.

11. Good makeup means nothing without good skin.
We’re obsessed with high coverage foundations and concealers that will give the best, flawless finish, but really the most important thing is finding a skincare routine that works for you and also allowing your skin to breathe once in a while. Try skipping foundation and just using concealer some days, or using a tinted moisturizer instead. At the end of the day, the better your skin looks, the better your makeup will look.

12. Use Magnesium products
Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) can help alleviate the following complaints: depression, anxiety, fatigue, headache, asthma, muscular tensions, painful joints, sleeping problems, spasms, intestinal complaints, accumulation of toxins (detox effect), excess weight, magnesium deficit. Magnesium chloride is an important factor in the elimination of toxic elements and heavy metals and helps recover the minerals balance in the organism, it regulates the cholesterol level and normalizes the values of blood pressure. We suggest to use E&S products. The product Elisheva & Shoshana “Magnesium Chloride Bath Flakes Natural STRONG 47%” is a natural bathing supplement with a broad spectrum of muscle relaxation, spasm alleviating and nervous system calming effect. E&S magnesium chloride flakes are dermally promptly absorbed, it takes 5-15 seconds to enter the cells. About 95% of the applied magnesium enters the cells, the absorption through the skin is therefore preferred to oral intake in the form of capsules, powder or pill, also transdermal application of magnesium entails no gastric or intestinal burden.
