MAGNESIUM POOL: A RECOVERY ESSENTIAL
how magnesium supports relaxation, muscle recovery and overall wellbeing
Magnesium pools are becoming one of the most popular recovery tools for people who want a calm, gentle and effective way to unwind their body. Unlike traditional chlorine pools, a magnesium pool uses a blend of minerals that are known to support muscle relaxation, skin health and stress relief.
At Iremia, the magnesium pool is one of the key elements in The Recovery Room and pairs perfectly with cold plunge and the traditional rock sauna.
Here is why so many people are choosing magnesium pools as part of their weekly recovery routine.

How magnesium works in the body
Magnesium is an essential mineral that supports hundreds of processes in the body. It plays a role in muscle relaxation, energy production and calming the nervous system. Most people do not get enough magnesium, so soaking in it can create a noticeable shift in how the body feels.
Benefits of a magnesium pool
A magnesium soak offers several benefits that you can feel almost immediately.
Muscle recovery: Magnesium helps the muscles relax which can ease tension, soreness and stiffness.
Stress relief: Warm water combined with magnesium can help the nervous system settle, creating a deep sense of calm.
Skin support: Magnesium is gentle on the skin and may help with dryness, irritation and overall skin softness.
Improved sleep: Many people notice better sleep after magnesium exposure because it supports relaxation.
Better circulation: Warm mineral water helps increase blood flow which supports recovery after training or activity.
Why it feels different from a normal heated pool
A magnesium pool feels softer and more soothing on the skin than a standard chlorine pool. The water has a silky texture and a natural warmth that feels gentle and restorative. Many guests say the body can fully release tension in a way that is hard to achieve in a regular pool.
Why magnesium pairs well with hot and cold therapy
When used alongside the traditional rock sauna and cold plunge, magnesium becomes an important part of the full recovery circuit. Warm mineral water softens the muscles, the sauna deepens circulation and the cold plunge resets inflammation and clears the mind. Together, these elements create a balanced recovery experience.
Why it is okay to just hop in the pool
You do not always need a full circuit. Some days your body simply wants warmth, comfort and stillness. The magnesium pool is perfect for those moments. Many guests say it feels like a warm hug for the whole body which makes it ideal when you want a gentle, nurturing recovery session without the cold plunge or sauna. It can be a complete experience on its own and your body will tell you when that is all it needs.
