Magnesium Sulphate in a hydrated form for the Garden

Epsom Salts is magic stuff and it has many uses in the bathroom and laundry and for sore muscles and joints, but what about the 'Garden'?  Yes!  Epsom Salts is perfect for those annoying garden problems too.  Epsom Salts is just hydrated Magnesium Sulphate.  It isn't a nasty chemical or poison but of course it can be if used in the wrong manner.  Magnesium is one of the most important minerals of the 12 minerals.   Do a PH test on the garden's soil to see what is lacking before dumping with anything.

Recently I have aquired about thirty rose bushes and I  will be using Epsom Salts to bring some life to the tired look they are all sporting at the moment.

Nutrient absorption
Add Epsom salt to soil to improve the absorption capability of the soil.

Seed germination
Mix 1 or 2 tablespoons into the soil at the bottom of each of the holes before sewing the seeds.

Eradicating Weeds

Mix up 2 cups of Epsom salt with four litres of vinegar then add approx four tablespoons of dish dishwasher and shake well in a spray bottle 

Yellowed leaves
Yellowing is often caused by a magnesium deficiency.   Magnesium is essential for the production of chlorophyll (the green stuff).  Spread 1 tablespoon of Epsom salts around the soil basically once a month.   Mix one tablespoon of salt into three litres of water and spray directly on leaves.

Curling up leaves
Curling can be from a lack of magnesium.  Mix up and spray with the above mix of Epsom salt and water.

Tomatoes
During the growing season, tomatoes can become deficient in magnesium.  Applying Epsom Salts will promote a much healthier plant with a greater yeild.  Add about 1 tablespoon of Epsom Salt granules in each hole before planting any seed or when  transplanting seedlings.
Every couple of weeks top up with a mix of one tablespoon of Epsom Salt into 3 litres of water.  Bottle and spray the plants.

Peppers and chillies
The pepper family (chillies capsicums etc)  are well known to become  deficient in magnesium as well like tomatoes.   Do the same Epsom salt treatment as used for the tomatoes.

Roses
When planting a rose bush first soak the roots in a mix of half a cup Epsom salts to three litres of water.
Sprinkle Epsom salt in the hole prior to planting. Every four weeks during the  growth period, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt per 1 foot of plant height.  Place this all around the base of the rose.

“Every known illness is associated with a magnesium deficiency” and that, “magnesium is the most critical mineral required for electrical stability of every cell in the body.

That quote was by ~ Dr. Norman Shealy ~

Magnesium 21mg5%

Magnesium deficiency is very often misdiagnosed by the so called health professionals.  This is because the mineral Magnesium isn't overly evident in any blood serum tests.   The reason for this is  less that 1% of the body's magnesium is stored in the bloodstream.  So, consequently the doctor doesn't order up the magnesium status when doing routine tests and the deficiency goes unchecked.

Magnesium deficiency is responsible for so many cases of ill health.  It is also responsible for a society of people with a bunch of absolutely curious diseases and chronic illnesses of all types. 

Magnesium plays a role in the electrical connectivity of all of our cells.  Our own personal magneto.  Not unlike the earths magnetosphere.  When the system is out of balance the body attempts to re align itself by drawing from other places to make up the numbers while the body is or has been under stress caused from a myriad of factors.  This is alright every now and again but it is NEVER to be the norm. because the body's defense crash, and they burn over taxed and under paid (fed),

What starts off as a tiny thing will escalate into disease states because of a lack of magnesium.  Patients go to doctors with some very vague types of symptoms which are hurriedly remedied with out thought by the doctor with a medication of some type.  Say the patient arrives with sleep issues, the doctor prescribes a medication to help sleep come.  The missing part of the diagnosis was realizing that the sleep disturbances were highly likely to have been initiated by a severe lack of magnesium.

The foods that we eat are denatured and the water is not rich in magnesium or any of the other vital minerals for health.  The pharmaceutical companies make huge profits from people taking medications that further drive down the levels of magnesium and push the body into further and deeper ill health.  Some of which could have been totally avoided with a supplement of magnesium.

Children suffer greatly today in a society that sees no problems with giving children endless sugar in the forms of lollies, sweet drinks (even juices) and foods high in sugars because they are processed foods which are also very chemically laden with preservatives.  This is a recipe for disaster on many levels. It usually manifests itself with the person having issues in society.

The child is labelled as bad or naughty, cant sit still, has a short attention span, is easily annoyed and aggravated by tiny things with very little tolerance for work and a high degree of belligerence in attitude.   This manifests in issues with peers at school or with teachers and or parental discipline with an increasing inability to cope or adapt.  The thirst and hunger status drives this to levels where crime can also be committed due to the brain malfunctioning and not being able to think clearly.

The lists of ailments are so lengthy that respond to magnesium, I am not going to elaborate too much here as this is a story on magnesium and it is meant to drive you to look further for yourself into the 12 cell salts or minerals that are vital for life and of which magnesium is one.

I take magnesium because I get cramps sometimes in my knees, not a spasm type. It is an ache or vague feeling of uncomfortability in my leg joints.  I get tingly fingers at odd times and when I menstruated I had severe cramps (now post menopause) and as a child I did commando hits on the cupboard to heist the salt shaker and go and hide and lick salt.  (Something that got me in lots of trouble) but I was craving it and I was 2 years old or three maybe, I remember this very clearly though. 

It always fascinated me that I did this salt thing.  I also craved dirt and would eat the dirty newspaper from under the lino if left unchecked.  I also remember doing this while still crawling.  This is how far back my memories reach.  I think that part is fantastic as I have many many more clear memories of me as a baby.   All of which have been checked and double checked as authentic.  

A good place to start with the learning is with this article on Magnesium which I have linked HERE.
This details the explicit nature of magnesium in all of its absolute glory.  It is very well written.

Magnesium rich foods are important.  I see FOOD as MEDICINE so it is important to look at the foods with this mineral involved to help fix the body's imbalances.  Let the food to the talking I say.  Since we are an alchemical factory in our stomachs and all through our digestive system, it stands to reason that we should let the good doctor inside take the first shot at this.

Bananas : The Super Food

Banana's stimulate the immune system to produce various agents, including  the magical substance TNF. 

According to Japanese Scientific Research, full ripe banana with dark patches on yellow skin produces a substance called TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) which has the ability to combat abnormal cells.

The more darker patches it has the higher will be its immunity enhancement quality; Hence, the riper the banana the better the anti-cancer quality. Yellow skin banana with dark spots on it is 8x more effective in enhancing the property of white blood cells than green skin version.

Eating 1-2 banana/s a day increases immunity.

These are loaded with the good stuff and I grew these organic banana's

One medium-sized (around 126 grams) banana contains:

• Vitamin B6 (.5 mg)
• Manganese (.3 mg)
• Vitamin C (9 mg)
• Potassium (450 mg)
• Dietary Fiber (3g)
• Protein (1 g)
• Magnesium (34 mg)
• Folate (25.0 mcg)
• Riboflavin (.1 mg)
• Niacin (.8 mg)
• Vitamin A (81 IU)
• Iron (.3 mg)

The reason potassium is singled-out among all the other things in the banana is because that 450 mg of potassium in a single banana is actually more than 10% (more precisely, around 13%) of the adult human body's minimum daily requirement of potassium. It's unusual (though not unheard of, of course) for a single serving of any fruit to provide quite so much of any one nutrient like that. Nutritionists, then, sometime refer to a banana as a "super fruit," because of its inordinate provision of so much of the minimum daily adult requirement of the single nutrient potassium.

Hoax or Fact?  Fact!
Please pass on and share and stay healthy.
