Sometimes
wellness leaves a bad taste. It is the case of Nigari, the natural form of the
Magnesium Chloride. This sea water extracted mineral is used to coagulate soya
milk into tofu and has various beneficial properties for the human body.
Magnesium Chloride has therapeutic and prophylactic effects for certain
infectious diseases and help the healing and recovery of the human body.
Pierre Delbet, a
French surgeon and founding member of what became the French Cancer Society,
particularly uses Magnesium Chloride as the base of his experiments. His first
studies date back to 1889 when he was looking for an antiseptic to clean
contaminated wounds of soldiers that does not cause degradation of organic
tissues. Unlike regular antiseptics used at the time, Magnesium Chloride
perfectly fulfilled the role.
Much later
studies have shown that this mineral can benefit blood pressure and help
prevent sudden cardiac arrest, heart attack, and stroke. GreenMedInfo.com's
database project records over 100 health benefits – premenstrual syndrome,
aging, type 2 diabetes and migraine, among others. Not more than two years ago,
I was periodically suffering tonsillitis. A friend advised me to drink a glass
of water mixed with no more than a quarter tablespoon of Nigari every morning.
Besides the horrible taste, the effect was immediate; it stopped the
inflammation of my throat. I would even manage to trade my morning coffee with
it as it boosts me for the whole day.
If you feel
sudden loss of appetite, fatigue and weakness, these may be early signs of
magnesium deficiency. One way to optimize magnesium level is by consuming
plenty of organic green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds. Or better yet try
including seaweed, almond butter and unsweetened cocoa in your daily diet.
