Magnesium Sulfate for weight loss
Before any diet, it is advisable to cleanse the intestines and this remedy is used once. Why can’t you often resort to this method of cleansing the intestines? Magnesium sulfate irritates the gastrointestinal mucosa, disrupts the water-salt balance and, with frequent use, leads to dysbacteriosis . It was said above how to take the powder to cleanse the intestines.
To lose weight, you can take baths by adding a glass of powder or more to the bath. Bath time is 15-20 minutes. You need to take a bath before going to bed, for a course of 15 procedures, carried out 2 times a week. After the procedure, you need to cover yourself with a warm blanket to achieve profuse sweating. The effect is that excess fluid is removed, swelling is eliminated and metabolic processes are accelerated. The weight loss effect occurs due to fluid loss, but after a while everything comes back. Many consider this method as an emergency means for losing weight - reviews confirm this.
Mechanism of action of the drug
Magnesia acts on the receptors of the gastric mucosa.
Once in the intestines, magnesium has a stimulating effect on the receptors of its mucosa. The intestines begin to actively contract, and its contents rapidly move toward the rectum. Magnesium sulfate is not absorbed into the intestinal walls, due to which fluid is retained.
The osmotic pressure resulting from fluid retention promotes the evacuation of intestinal contents. In addition to this effect, magnesium also produces a choleretic effect.
