New Study on Melatonin and How Melatonin Lotion Might Help Spinal Injuries

Art (California) on 02/13/2024

A new study came out today that shows that in spinal injuries above T8, normal melatonin secretion is negatively affected to various degrees. This suggests that melatonin lotion may be a useful tool in directly helping to restore this diminished melatonin secretion for use by the spine. Here is a link to the abstract of that study :

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38347109/

Here is a relevant quote from the study :

' Comparing retained vs abolished secretion, only 23% (4/17) of patients with a lesion above T8 retained melatonin secretion, compared to 80% (4/5) with a lesion below T8 (p = 0.022). '

How To Get Melatonin Powder In The UK To Use For Melatonin Lotion

Recently I came across a bulk supplier in the UK that sells melatonin powder. Here is a link to that supplier:

https://rawpowders.co.uk/melatonin-powder

I'm not sure why, but it takes a long time for their website to load and open.

I had recommended this supplier to an acquaintance in the UK and they said they received quick service and would buy from them again, so I thought I would share the link since melatonin powder seems harder to obtain in the UK compared to the US.

Another Two Uses For Melatonin Lotion!

Art (California) on 02/04/2024
5 out of 5 stars

Recently an acquaintance, from the UK, who had fallen backwards and hit their neck against a plastic bucket and was in significant pain which the specialist felt might be damage to the spinal cord, asked if I had any suggestions that might help. My suggestion was to give consideration to melatonin lotion since melatonin has shown in multiple studies to have beneficial effects for various spinal issues as I wrote about here :

https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/melatonin-spine-health.html

And here :

https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/topical-melatonin-pain-relief-success-stories.html

That was about 2 months ago and yesterday this acquaintance wrote to tell me this :

' Hi there. An update. Have used your treatment and would say that it works. It has taken the swelling out of the neck area and the lump on the side of the neck (caratoid?) Has gone. Also, I woke one morning with a very sore right calf No reason that I know of limped through that day and half the next then used your cream. Used it again the next day and although slightly tender would say that the problem was solved. '

' I used E45 moisturising lotion ( because I had it in the house) . I was sceptical. Couldn't see how it could work but it does. '

So these are two more examples of things that melatonin lotion has worked effectively for.

Melatonin Lotion For Jaw Fracture Pain

Art (California) on 02/02/2024

Recently, a friend fell while on vacation and when he fell, his jaw slammed into a concrete step. He sought out a local doctor who told him he should see his regular doctor when he got home from vacation. When he saw his regular doctor and did the appropriate testing, his doctor told him surgery would not be required, but that he did have two fractures in his jaw that would require significant time to heal.

My friend called me and asked if I could suggest anything to help him with the pain caused by the fractures that was keeping him up at night. I gave him a bottle of melatonin lotion and told him to apply it sparingly twice a day and it should relieve the pain and allow him to get better sleep.

I further told him that the lotion is likely to help his fractures heal because melatonin seems to promote bone healing and repair as discussed here :

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fendo.2022.826660/full#:~:text=Thus, it indicates that melatonin, associations between melatonin and osteogenesis.

Here is a relevant quote from the link :

' Moderate osteogenesis and angiogenesis is involved in both bone repair and fracture healing (25). Currently, accumulating evidence has indicated the associations between melatonin and osteogenesis. ' ( osteogenesis = the formation of bone)

I got a text from my friend today and he said that the lotion has greatly reduced his pain and allows him to sleep very well. He also asked me if he could use the lotion for other body areas where he has pain, but he did not elaborate on what areas he was referring to and I told him it might help and to try it. I also mentioned that it may also help with healing of the fracture. He was very happy and said he will keep applying it!

Melatonin Lotion for Skin Cancer?

Hi Art, Thank you for your melatonin article and report of the results.

I wonder, if the melatonin, applied locally to the skin could help for skin cancer also. Thank you for your insights.

I just got an update from another friend that is testing melatonin lotion and this is what she wrote :

' Hi Art,

My scalp eczema usually flares up in January and February. I put the melatonin lotion on it...guess what? All gone and no roughness or itchiness...yay! '

This is a new indication for me as I have not heard from anyone else that it has helped their scalp eczema before this.

Art's Topical Melatonin Lotion Helps Nerve and Muscular Issues

Deborah (California, USA) on 01/26/2024

Hello and THANK YOU so much for this wonderful recipe for TML. This is an amazing discovery.

I have stage IV cancer with Lepto Menengeal. It has caused several nerve and muscular issues. A friend and I made this lotion and it is incredible. Long story, short; my feet absolutely do not tingle anymore. I use the TML twice daily. The second time we made it using beef tallow instead of cetaphil. That requires a little different method to mix, but I prefer a creamier thicker lotion. Both require some essential oils to overcome the smell. The cetaphil lotion smells like gin and the tallow one smells like beef and required a bit more lavender. The smell does dissipate once it's applied to the skin.

This stuff is amazing. It works! Thank you so very much! What a God send!

Melatonin Lotion Question for Art

GertJr (Madison) on 12/30/2023

Does it have to be gin? Or can it be vodka or some other liquor? I don't really want to buy gin, no one I know drinks it, but I do have vodka for my black walnut tincture, so wondering if I could use that.

Art's Melatonin Lotion Helping Back Pain

Thank you Art for sharing your recommendations on Topical Melatonin Lotion. I am the former CEO of a natural skin care company and continue to be interested in natural remedies for my own use. (I lost my company due to the pandemic after 15 years in business). I made a batch of the melatonin lotion a short while ago and applied it after it had a chance to "marinate". Within about half an hour I noticed that my back/spinal pain had lessened significantly, but that I was also very sleepy all of a sudden and had to lie down and take a nap. Considering that about 70% of all topically applied lotions are absorbed into the bloodstream this was not a big surprise to me. I would be happy to be part of your group and report my findings to you. Please let me know if you are interested in having additional feedback and if so, how to proceed. Thanks.

Melatonin Lotion Feedback

I just made my first batch of Art's melatonin lotion. I didn't have Cetaphil and wanted to use something natural, so I opted for 1 hyaluronic acid supplement in 1.5 oz of distilled water instead of Art's 2.5 oz of Cetaphil lotion. Since I have a magnetic stirrer and glass beakers, I used them to make a fast batch. I also have a small gram scale from Amazon that I used. I tried using a bigger postage scale with gram measurements but didn't get an accurate readout for only 1 gram.

I dissolved the melatonin first in the gin in a beaker with the magnetic stirrer. I separately dissolved the capsule of HA in distilled water in another beaker before adding it to the melatonin/gin. Once mixed, I then poured the concoction into an empty glass spray bottle and tested it on my hands.

One spray was a perfect amount for the top of each hand. It absorbed rapidly and left behind silky soft skin.

1 gram of melatonin powder
1.5 oz of distilled water
1.5 oz of gin
One hyaluronic acid capsule (60 mg per capsule)

I'll update later on pain relief and skin improvement and whether or not the formula clogged the spray nozzle! Thank you, Art! Very excited to try this.

Dave (Ontario, Canada) on 11/16/2023

I visited the Amazon site for powdered melatonin and confused about what strength to buy. There are bags with 3mg strength, 10mg They are different price from $20. To $40. Depending on size and strength and then there was a choice of laboratory grade 99.9% pure strength for $200. + or -?

Topical Melatonin Powder/Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion

My name is Hyacinth. I receive Earth Clinic emails. I particularly want to find out about the email sent today regarding Topical Melatonin Powder and the Cetaphil Moisturing Lotion to make to recipe for topical pains in lower back, neck and shoulder.

I called a Homeopathic Pharmacy but they did not have it, as I bought two other items related to Earth Clinic's email. I am really interested to know where the Pure Melatonin Powder and the Cetaphil Moisurizing Lotion could be bought as there was no note of this on the link. Thanks.

Interesting article. I make lotions including one with magnesium and Naproxen for pain. Usually I use a rate of 1st of each. Melatonin in powder is pretty expensive. Any idea what the usage rate for a lotion is? Thank you.

Melatonin Lotion Questions for Art

S (Sterling, USA) on 11/14/2023

Thank you, Art, for sharing your recommendations on Topical Melatonin Lotion and the positive effects it has had on your friends! I, too, have back & shoulder pain as well as knee osteoarthritis, so I would like to try the lotion. I just have a few questions:

1. Is it safe to use Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion long-term, given its chemical make-up?

2. Would using virgin coconut oil be a safer alternative to Cetaphil?

3. Since we use vodka in place of alcohol, would substituting vodka for the gin give the same positive results?

Thanks in advance for your help!
