Whether you spend long days on your feet, hunched over a laptop for hours on end, need workout recovery or deal with chronic pain — we all need pain relief at some point. While many of us have resorted to numerous massage appointments and more gadgets than have actually been effective — there’s an unassuming Amazon find that so many people experiencing pain regularly say works and well. Meet Magnum Solace nighttime magnesium lotion — a $10 gem that hoards of reviewers say has not only relieved pain but also given them the quality of sleep that’s gone “unheard of in years.”
The idea behind magnesium-enriched lotions is pretty straightforward — but this one from Magnum Solace boasts a careful blend that kicks the soothing up a notch.
Per the National Library of Medicine, magnesium does play a role in pain relief — specifically by addressing muscle function and relaxation. When applied topically (AKA rubbed directly onto your skin), it’s believed to help ease tension, cramps, and the restless, can’t-get-comfortable feeling that can come at night. The Nighttime Magnesium Lotion takes it one step further, though, with the addition of arnica, a plant extract commonly used for soothing sore muscles, per the Cleveland Clinic. Plus, there’s lavender inside, too, which is always a plus when you’re trying to create a calming vibe before bed.
