Review: Amazing Recovery and Relaxation - Pure Quality! - These Ancient Minerals Magnesium Bath Flakes have transformed my evening routine! After dealing with muscle tension and poor sleep, I decided to try magnesium baths and chose these based on the genuine Zechstein source - best decision ever. The quality is immediately noticeable. These dissolve completely in warm water without any residue or grittiness, creating a silky smooth bath experience. I use about 1/2 to 1 cup per bath, and the resealable bag makes storage and measuring easy while keeping the flakes fresh. Within 20 minutes of soaking, I can feel the difference - muscle tension melts away, especially in my shoulders and legs after long workdays or intense workouts. The absorption through the skin is gentle with no irritation, even on sensitive areas. My sleep quality has noticeably improved on nights I take these baths. What impressed me most is how pure these are - no additives, fragrances, or unnecessary ingredients. Just genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride, which gives me confidence in what I'm putting on my body. The bag lasts quite a while even with regular use. I've tried other magnesium bath products, but the quality and effectiveness of Ancient Minerals is superior. The recovery benefits are real - less soreness, better relaxation, and improved sleep. Perfect for athletes, anyone with muscle tension, or those seeking natural relaxation. Worth every penny for genuine therapeutic-grade magnesium!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how is this different from epsom salts?**
A: Epsom salts are magnesium SULFATE. But this product is magnesium CHLORIDE. The two are very different chemically. Most importantly, magnesium chloride is better for making magnesium oil (you can boil it half and half with filtered water and let it cool down... voila! Fresh magnesium oil).

**Q: If I mix magnesium with water and then with coconut oil to make a lotion would I have to add a preservative?  Thank you.**
A: No, you would not need a preservative if you mixed your own lotion containing: magnesium, water and coconut oil together. As magnesium chloride is a salt and already a self preserver. In addition, you may be interested to know that Ancient Minerals also makes a great lotion, gel and spray as well. Enjoy!

**Q: what is the right proportion of Ancient Minerals magnesium flakes and water to make magnesium spray oil**
A: I suggest putting 25% flakes in a little travel spray bottle to start, then adding hot tap water to dilute. Then it won't tingle as much when you first use it. I use 50% now after my body mag levels became normalized. Your body sucks it in about 30 minutes then it's all gone. That's why most spray it 30 minutes before showering. I carry it around everywhere.

**Q: what is the chemical composition difference between this and epsom salts?**
A: Mg sulfate (MgSO4) is epsom salts. Sulfates are salts of sulfuric acid. Mg chloride (MgCl2) is what this product consists of. Chloride is an ion and is an electrolyte that is important for transmitting nerve impulses among many other things. If you can handle all the sciency mumbo jumbo, I recommend Googling "NIH magnesium sulfate and magnesium chloride" or something similar to ensure you get legit results. This study seems to be legit and relatively easy to decipher: http://www.jle.com/fr/revues/mrh/e-docs/magnesium_chloride_or_magnesium_sulfate_a_genuine_question_266651/article.phtml?tab=texte  The bioavailability of MgCl2 is good vs. the low bioavailability of MgSO4. My personal experience? I've used both epsom salts in the bath and used magnesium chloride in the bath as a treatment for a neurological syndrome I have that is quite horrible. I feel like the magnesium chloride has helped me more in decreasing the pain, at least temporarily. There is certainly a difference in terms of chemical composition of both of these compounds. While neither is "better" than the other per se, for the purpose of taking a bath to help with pain I would recommend the magnesium chloride over the epsom salts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Dip into Deep Relaxation: Review of Ancient Mineral Bath Salts
*by A***X on October 29, 2025*

​From the moment you pour these crystals into your tub, you know you're not dealing with ordinary bath salts. The Ancient Mineral Bath Salts offer an experience that is far more therapeutic than standard Epsom salts, transforming a simple soak into a profound act of self-care. If you’re looking to truly unwind, recover, and soothe your body, look no further. ​Unrivaled Purity for Maximum Relaxation ​The secret to these bath salts lies in their source: ancient, purified mineral deposits that are rich in magnesium chloride. This form of magnesium is highly bioavailable and easily absorbed through the skin, which is the key to its powerful effects. ​Unlike salts that merely soften the water, these ancient minerals actively work to relax your nervous system. Within minutes of soaking, you feel a noticeable shift—tension seems to melt away from your shoulders, neck, and back. The result is a level of deep, calming relaxation that prepares your mind and body perfectly for restorative sleep. It’s an essential ritual for anyone dealing with stress or the demands of a hectic week. ​Therapeutic Relief for Aching Muscles ​For athletes, laborers, or anyone experiencing muscle soreness and fatigue, these salts are a non-negotiable recovery tool. Magnesium is vital for muscle function, and soaking in these high-grade minerals helps to draw out toxins and reduce inflammation. ​I’ve found that a 30-minute soak dramatically accelerates recovery time. Post-workout stiffness or the lingering aches from physical activity are significantly diminished. This isn't just a temporary distraction; it feels like genuine, restorative therapy that targets the core causes of muscle discomfort. ​Gentle on Skin and Easy to Use ​Despite their potency, the Ancient Mineral Bath Salts are incredibly gentle on the skin. They dissolve cleanly and quickly in warm water, leaving no gritty residue, and they don't leave your skin feeling tight or dried out. Instead, my skin feels soft, refreshed, and hydrated after emerging from the bath. ​The packaging is sturdy, and the crystals themselves are beautiful—large, pure flakes that convey their high quality instantly. They are virtually unscented, which makes them perfect for blending with your favorite essential oils if you prefer an aromatic experience, or simply enjoying their natural purity. ​Final Verdict ​The Ancient Mineral Bath Salts are a premium product that fully justifies the investment. They deliver exceptional results, providing profound relaxation, legitimate muscle relief, and a clean, gentle experience for your skin. They are truly the foundation for a perfect, healing bath.
