Why Every Mama Needs Magnesium During Pregnancy and Postpartum
Pregnancy and postpartum are some of the most physically and emotionally demanding seasons of a woman’s life. That’s why proper nourishment and replenishment are absolutely essential—and magnesium is one of the most powerful ways to support the body through it all.
At The Motherhood Odyssey, we’ve created small-batch magnesium bath soaks and magnesium oil using only the purest ingredients. Our current batch features magnesium chloride flakes sourced from the sacred saltwater lakes of Tibet—a deeply healing and high-potency source that makes each soak a nourishing ritual.
But why is magnesium so important for mothers?
The Role of Magnesium in Pregnancy and Postpartum
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. During pregnancy and postpartum, your body’s magnesium stores are rapidly depleted due to the demands of growing and birthing a baby—not to mention the stress, fatigue, and hormonal changes that come with the journey.
Here’s how magnesium can support you:
-
Restores lost minerals: Pregnancy and childbirth deplete essential minerals. Magnesium helps bring your body back into balance, supporting energy levels and overall wellness.
-
Relieves restless legs: One of the most common pregnancy complaints, restless leg syndrome, can often be eased by transdermal magnesium (absorbed through the skin).
-
Soothes muscle cramps: Magnesium supports muscle relaxation, helping reduce painful cramps, leg spasms, and tension throughout the body.
-
Supports muscle repair: Ideal for recovery post-birth, magnesium helps muscles heal and reduces soreness.
-
Eases stress and anxiety: Known for its calming effect on the nervous system, magnesium promotes a sense of calm and can support better sleep.
-
Supports hormone balance: Magnesium plays a role in balancing cortisol and stabilising mood—essential during the emotional rollercoaster of new motherhood.
Why Transdermal Magnesium?
Using magnesium topically—through bath soaks and oils—is one of the most effective ways to absorb this mineral. It bypasses digestion and goes straight to where your body needs it most. Plus, it turns your self-care time into a therapeutic ritual.
Our bath soaks are infused with organic herbs, free from essential oils and toxins, and safe for the whole family. Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or simply worn out, this is care you can feel, naturally.
