Hi Nenah,
I still have plenty of Nigari.....but every now and then feel like I
need to worry about sourcing it for when I run out.
Do you think it's safe to use post Fukushima nigari?
Best, Saralou

I make my own magnesium oil and save lots of money.
WHAT IS MAGNESIUM OIL?
Magnesium “oil” is actually one form of magnesium—magnesium
chloride—in water. The texture is oily, but technically it’s not an
oil as we commonly use the term. The magnesium is commonly in flake
form, and is then added to water until it dissolves. You may be
familiar with magnesium chloride by its other name: Nigari. Nigari
(used to make tofu, which I wouldn’t recommend eating becausesoy is
loaded with phytoestrogens) can be either magnesium chloride or
calcium chloride; but for making magnesium “oil” we’re obviously
interested in magnesium chloride.
WHERE TO GET IT
The cheapest way to get magnesium oil is to make it yourself. The best
buy I have seen for Japanese nigari (not Chinese nigari—don’t buy it
from China) is 5 pounds for $8.49 at:

When you include shipping in many instances, it comes to about $20 for
5 pounds of nigari flakes. This is still a great deal.
HOW TO MAKE IT
This recipe is quite forgiving. Basically, I add water to my magnesium
chloride (nigari) flakes until the stuff dissolves. It often comes out
to about equal parts of each. Put the flakes into a glass masonjar
with a plastic lid, and gradually add water and shake the jar until
the mixture dissolves. If it doesn’t dissolve completely, add more
water. The best water to use is distilled. If you don’t have
distilled, use clean filtered water.
BENEFITS
Magnesium chloride works well taken transdermally (through the skin).Since you
avoid the digestive tract,you eliminate the problem of diarrhea while getting
much larger amounts of magnesium into your system than usual. Since most people
are magnesium deficient, this works well.It’s difficult to overdose on
magnesium, although this can happen. As with any nutrient, monitor yourself and
see how you feel.
DISADVANTAGES
The only disadvantage of magnesium “oil” is the possibility of itching when you
rub it into your skin. If this happens, simply put plain, clean water on the
skin. This will dilute the magnesium preparation and relieve the itching.
OTHER FORMS OF MAGNESIUM
Magnesium chloride does not work well if you take it orally. For oral use, you could
try magnesium citrate, available atwww.msm-msm.com <http://www.msm-msm.com>.
Epsom salts, another magnesium compound, can be dissolved into a hot bath. However,
with Epsom salts you don’t get as much magnesium into the body as when you use
magnesium chloride.
Best,
Nenah
