Do you know any Thai word beyond “Sawadee”? I have been studying the language since our relocation to the land of smiles. My favourite Thai word so far is “RAK”, which means LOVE. And recently, through a natural and effective health remedies brand, RAKS Natural, I learned another new word: “RAKS.” When LOVE becomes plural, the word “RAKS” makes up most of the Thai word “raksa”, which means “to heal.” How beautiful is that?! Love is the most healing force there is, and lots of love can manifest amazing healing powers.
What has drawn me to Raks Natural is its magnesium-based Epsom bath salt. Back in Hong Kong, it was trending in all high-end wellness stores. However, I haven’t seen it in Thailand yet. As far as I know, most of us are deficient in this mineral. Magnesium is essential in up keeping the health of our muscles, bones, and immune system. Most of all, it helps calm us down and is very effective in relaxing us if we use it before bedtime.
As Jane, co-founder of Raks Natural, enthusiastically shares: “Magnesium is essential to our health, but few people know about it, nor get enough of this important mineral. Our Transdermal Magnesium is a new form of magnesium supplementation that is easy, safe, enjoyable and highly effective! Indeed, magnesium is beneficial and very crucial for all ages! It is one of the most essential nutrients our body needs to be able to perform well. It plays a key role in more than 300 enzymatic reactions inside your body with major benefits in calcium absorption, bone formation, muscle function, maintenance of heart muscles, sleep quality, skin and hair health, total mind and body relaxation and more! I came across Magnesium when I was searching for ways to help me sleep better. After going through a major episode of insomnia, I realised that there were no sleeping pills in the world that could save me— so I had to seek an alternative approach. This led me to holistic and natural remedies for the mind and body: mindfulness meditation, herbal remedies, and transdermal magnesium supplementation”
Some key benefits of magnesium include:
- Soothes sore muscles, cramps, and spasms
