Back-to-school is coming â which means getting everyone back into earlier nights and better bedtime routines.
A great time to talk about melatonin!
Melatonin has become so normal for children that itâs easy to forget one important thing:
Melatonin is a hormone.
We donât have long-term safety data for regular use throughout childhood and reported side effects can include morning drowsiness, headaches, dizziness, agitation and increased nighttime urination.
This isn't simply a sleep aidâit's involved in brain, circadian and hormonal function.
And as of June 2026, Health Canada considers melatonin for use in children and teens under 18 a prescription drug.
In comes ReRooted Magnesium Tallow Balm!
Bedtime use is simple: apply to the feet and lower legs as part of the wind-down routine. And because itâs in a push-up tube, thereâs no messy jar to deal with either.
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in normal muscle and nerve function, energy production, electrolyte balance and hundreds of processes throughout the body.
It has also been studied in connection with muscle pain and tension, migraines, fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain. Itâs one reason magnesium has become such a popular part of massage, recovery and wellness routines.
Massage it into tired calves and feet after being on them all day, over tight or overworked muscles after exercise or physical work, or around achy knees, hands and other joints.
For those dealing with fibromyalgia or other widespread muscle tenderness, it gives you a convenient magnesium massage balm without having to spray magnesium chloride directly onto sensitive skin.
And for those who deal with headaches or migraines, magnesium itself has actually been studied for prevention. It can be used to massage tense shoulders, forehead, temples and the back of the neck.
This is one little tube youâll find yourself reaching for again and again.
