Magnesium Phosphate (Mag Phos)

In traditional medicine, specifically homeopathy and biochemical therapy, Magnesium Phosphate (Mag Phos) is widely named the anti-spasmodic tissue salt. Traditional practitioners primarily use Mag Phos to relieve conditions that are typically accompanied by cramping, spasms or sharp pains.

What is Mag Phos traditionally associated with?

Magnesium Phosphate (Mag Phos) is traditionally known as the anti-spasmodic tissue salt. It is often described as supplementing the action of Kali Phos, particularly in relation to supporting the nervous system and easing tension within it.

In traditional tissue salt literature, Mag Phos is brought into consideration where there is spasm, constriction, or sharp pain.

Traditional uses for Mag Phos include:

Muscle relaxation

Mag Phos is traditionally associated with relaxing muscles, and also where there may be cramps, spasms, or stiffness. Pains affecting the back, hips, and shoulders are commonly referenced. Also good for the heart.

Pain relief

Particularly linked with sharp, shooting pains, headaches, neuralgia, and also certain types of abdominal pain. Facial pain is also noted within traditional use.

Nerve health

Support for the proper functioning of nerves is a key theme, and also where conditions such as sciatica or neuralgia are present, alongside shooting headaches.

Menstrual pain

Traditionally considered where there is menstrual cramping, and also where pain is spasmodic in nature.

Digestive health

Where abdominal cramping or pain is present, alongside flatulence and indigestion, Mag Phos is often brought into use.

Teething pain

Used in traditional contexts where teething is accompanied by sharp or shooting pains.

Throat constriction

Associated with sensations of tightness or constriction in the throat, and also where spasm may be involved.

Traditional signs associated with deficiency

A deficiency of Mag Phos is traditionally linked with cramping at the site of imbalance, affecting both muscles and nerves, described as the contraction of white nerve fibres. This may range from simple leg cramps, and also extend to neuralgia, sciatica, fibromyalgia, and headaches. Flushing and blushing may be observed, and also hives or red spots appearing under stress, with a pattern of inner heat while the outer skin feels cool. Drooping of the eyelids is also noted.

Food sources traditionally associated with Mag Phos

Green vegetables high in chlorophyll are highlighted, particularly green leafy vegetables such as watercress, spinach, kale and rocket, and also broccoli. Other sources include citrus fruits, cucumber, apples and plums, as well as almonds, walnuts, peanuts and brazil nuts, alongside oats and wheat.

Please note

In traditional use, Mag Phos is noted to act more quickly when tablets are taken with hot water.
