THE RITUAL
Take a generous amount and start at the feet. Massage slowly up the calves, then move to wherever the day has settled - shoulders, lower back, neck. The pressure and massage is part of what makes it effective. Do it as the last thing before bed.
The Experience
The lotion absorbs quickly, calves soften under your hands and the tightness in your legs and lower back starts to ease. A warm, herbal scent of lavender and fennel rises as you apply it, which is meant to soothe.
THE EFFECT
It reduces physical tension with magnesium working locally, in the muscle, before it reaches the bloodstream. The botanicals work through skin and scent together to bring the nervous system down from alert mode. By the time you finish, the body has received a clear signal to rest.
