Head Throbbing? Why Topical Magnesium Might Be Your New Headache Hero

The Real Talk About Headaches

Hey there! Dr. Bec here. Let's talk about something that's probably all too familiar – that annoying headache that shows up right when you don't need it (which is, let's be honest, always). As a mum and healthcare practitioner, I understand the frustration of dealing with headaches while trying to manage everything else on your plate.

The Headache Struggle Is Real

We've all been there – that dull throb or sharp stab that can derail your entire day. While reaching for over-the-counter pain relief might be tempting, many of us are looking for natural solutions that won't compromise our gut health or leave us feeling foggy.

Why Magnesium is Your New Headache BFF

As an Osteopath and Naturopath, I've seen firsthand how magnesium can be a game-changer for headache relief. But why? Let's break down the science (don't worry, I'll keep it simple!):


Why Magnesium Works: 

  • Acts as a natural muscle relaxant (goodbye, tension!) 
  • Helps calm your nervous system (stress, be gone!) 
  • Supports healthy blood flow 
  • Has anti-inflammatory properties

Your Quick-Start Guide to Headache Relief

Location Matters: Think of magnesium as your targeted relief squad. Apply it directly where you need it most:

  • Temples 
  • Forehead 
  • Back of neck 
  • Shoulders

Pro tip: These are your headache "hot spots" – give them extra love!

Dr. Bec's Holistic Headache Strategy

Because let's be real – we need all the tools in our toolkit:

  1. Stress Management
    • Identify your triggers (school run chaos, anyone?)
    • Find pockets of calm in your day
    • Use magnesium as part of your wind-down routine

  2. Hydration Heroes
    • Water is your best friend
    • And no, coffee doesn't count as water (I see you trying to negotiate this one! 😉)

  3. Sleep Support
    • Aim for 7-8 hours (I know, I know – easier said than done!)
    • Create a bedtime routine
    • Use magnesium before bed for double benefits

Important Note: When to Seek Help

While magnesium can work wonders, some headaches need extra attention. 

If you're experiencing:
• New or different headache patterns
• Unusually severe pain
• Persistent symptoms

→ Book an appointment with your healthcare provider. As an Osteopath, I always say: better to check it out than stress about it!
