UNDERSTANDING NEUROPATHY IN THE FEET
If you’ve ever felt burning, tingling, pins-and-needles sensations or numbness in your feet, you may be experiencing neuropathy – a common condition where the nerves become irritated or damaged. Many people describe it as a strange mix of burning and coldness, or like walking on cotton wool. It can interrupt sleep, affect balance, and make everyday tasks uncomfortable.
While neuropathy has many causes, including diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, poor circulation, injury, and even chemotherapy, the one thing all forms have in common is this: the nerves need support, relaxation and improved blood flow.
And that’s where gentle, natural care can make a meaningful difference.
WHAT EXACTLY IS NEUROPATHY?
Peripheral neuropathy happens when the nerves in your feet don’t communicate properly with the brain. This can create sensations such as:
- Burning or hot feet
- Tingling or “pins and needles”
- Sharp or electric pain
- Numbness
- Oversensitivity – even light touch feels painful
- Cramps or restless legs at night
These symptoms often feel worse at night, when the body is at rest and the mind is quieter.
WHY MAGNESIUM HELPS SO MUCH
Magnesium is one of the body’s most important minerals for nerve and muscle function.
When applied through the skin, magnesium helps to:
- Improve circulation in the feet
- Relax tight muscles that may be compressing nerves
- Calm irritated nerves
- Reduce inflammation
- Ease cramping and restless legs
- Support deeper sleep
Many people with neuropathy (including those with diabetic or chemo-induced nerve pain) are magnesium deficient — which is why topical magnesium brings such noticeable relief.
STEP 1: START WITH A WARM MAGNESIUM FOOT SOAK
A magnesium salt foot soak is one of the easiest and most effective ways to relieve nerve discomfort. How it helps:
- The warmth increases blood flow
- Magnesium is absorbed directly through the skin
- Muscles relax, taking pressure off the nerves
- The burning/tingling sensation often eases within minutes
How to do it:
- Add 2–3 tablespoons of JUSTBLiSS Magnesium Bath Salts to warm water.
- Soak for 15–20 minutes.
- Dry gently.
This simple ritual is grounding, soothing, and ideal for evening use.
STEP 2: APPLY MAGNESIUM OIL OR MAGNESIUM WHIPPED BODY BUTTER
For deeper relief, follow the soak with one of our topical magnesium treatments:
JUSTBLiSS Magnesium Oil
- Fast-absorbing
- Excellent for sharp nerve pain or restless legs
- Ideal for daily use
JUSTBLiSS Magnesium Whipped Body Butter
- Gentle and moisturising
- Comforting for fragile or mature skin
- Good for nerve pain linked with dryness or inflammation
Massage into the feet and calves to encourage circulation and calm the nervous system.
STEP 3: CONSISTENCY IS KEY
Neuropathy usually improves with regular routine, not just one-time application.
Recommended rhythm:
- Foot soak: Daily or every second evening
- Magnesium Oil or Body Butter: Daily
Many customers report improved sleep and less night-time discomfort within 1–2 weeks.
WHEN TO BE CAREFUL
Avoid foot soaks if:
- You have open wounds or ulcers
- You have advanced diabetic neuropathy without medical guidance
- Your skin is cracked and bleeding
- Water that is too hot (heat worsens nerve irritation)
If symptoms rapidly worsen, or if you have diabetes or are undergoing chemotherapy, always consult your healthcare provider.
