Raw Medicine is an Australian brand focused on two things it does well: organic medicinal-mushroom extracts and transdermal magnesium. The range we stock pairs single mushroom powders with a magnesium line that includes the brand's magnesium oil — a through-the-skin alternative to capsules — along with a few everyday wellbeing blends.

Transdermal magnesium — the distinctive part of the range

Magnesium oil is the stand-out. Despite the name it is not an oil but a concentrated solution of magnesium chloride, applied to the skin and absorbed transdermally rather than swallowed. The appeal is that it bypasses the gut entirely, which suits people who find oral magnesium loosening or who simply want to apply it directly to tired or cramping muscles. Magnesium itself is a cofactor in hundreds of enzyme reactions and is central to muscle relaxation and the nervous system, which is why it features so widely. Raw Medicine also offers magnesium in powder form for those who prefer to take it internally.

Organic mushroom extracts

The mushroom line covers the well-known functional species — including Turkey Tail and the other classics — as concentrated organic extracts. Functional mushrooms are valued for their beta-glucans, the polysaccharides behind much of their immune interest, with each species carrying its own traditional emphasis from cognition to stamina to immune support. The Re-Energise and Balance Me blends bring several supportive ingredients together for everyday energy and balance.

Who the range may suit

Raw Medicine suits people who want magnesium they can apply to the skin — particularly for muscles, or where oral magnesium upsets digestion — and those after clean, organic mushroom extracts for daily wellbeing.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy Raw Medicine online in Australia?
You can order the Raw Medicine range — the mushroom extracts and the magnesium powders and oil — here from Health Freek, a naturopath-owned Australian stockist.

Does magnesium oil actually absorb through the skin?
Magnesium oil is a magnesium chloride solution applied topically, and many people use it precisely because it bypasses the gut — useful if oral magnesium is loosening, or to apply directly to tired muscles. It is a convenient complement or alternative to capsules.

Which magnesium is better, oil or powder?
Neither is universally better; it depends on you. Transdermal magnesium oil suits those with sensitive digestion or who want targeted muscle application, while powders and capsules are simple for a measured daily dose. Some people use both.
