Works on office chairs, car seats, pretty much anything you sit in for too long. Your back is holding up a lot right now — this helps.

Ancient Minerals Magnesium Bath Flakes – Pure Zechstein Chloride

Magnesium absorbed through the skin is one of the most effective ways to ease muscle tension, reduce stress, and improve sleep — and caregivers are chronically depleted in it. These pure Zechstein magnesium flakes outperform regular epsom salts. Twenty minutes in a warm foot soak or bath is the simplest act of self-care you can give yourself tonight.

One of the single most impactful supplements a caregiver can take.
