Benefits of Magnesium Hydroxide
Magnesium hydroxide suspensions in water (milk of magnesia) are used as an antacid to counteract stomach acid, and a laxative. Since Magnesium hydroxide is a weak alkali, this means it can neutralize the excess acid in the stomach, preventing indigestion, and it can also neutralize the acids in the mouth which can cause tooth decay. For these reasons, magnesium hydroxide is used for indigestion remedies and toothpaste. This medication is used to treat occasional episodes of constipation because it acts to produce a bowel movement within 6 hours of taking a dose. This medication is also used for upset stomach from heartburn, acid indigestion, or other conditions caused by excess stomach acid; and to prevent ulcers or bleeding from ulcers.

When taken orally as a laxative, the osmotic action of the magnesia suspension acts to draw fluids from the body and to retain those already within the lumen of the intestine, thus distending the bowel and stimulating nerves in the colon wall, forcing peristalsis and resulting in evacuation of colonic contents. It is also used as an antacid; however more modern formulations combine the antimotility effects of equal concentrations of aluminum hydroxide to avoid unwanted laxative effects. When used topically, Magnesium hydroxide is useful as an antiperspirant armpit deodorant and also against canker sores (aphthous ulcer). Magnesium hydroxide powder is used industrially as a non-hazardous alkali to neutralize acidic wastewaters, and it also takes part in the Biorock method of building artificial reefs.

Milk of magnesia is sold for medical use as chewable tablets, capsules, and as liquids having various added flavors. It is primarily used to alleviate constipation, but also to relieve indigestion and heartburn. When taken orally as a laxative, the osmotic force of the magnesia suspension acts to draw fluids from the body and to retain those already within the lumen of the intestine, serving to distend the bowel, thus stimulating nerves within the colon wall, inducing peristalsis and resulting in evacuation of colonic contents.

Milk of magnesia is also used as a folk remedy, applied and massaged in (a few minutes before washing), to relieve symptoms of seborrhea and dandruff. The mechanism for its effectiveness in this application, like the causes of seborrhea itself, are unknown. An additional folk use is for the treatment of acne or oily skin by applying topically, allowing to dry, and then washing it off the face (or other body part). It is also said to be used for seborrheic dermatitis, which is a drying and flaking of the skin similar to dandruff but often occurring on the face.^[10]

Magnesium hydroxide powder is used industrially as a non-hazardous alkali to neutralise acidic wastewaters.^[11] It also takes part in the Biorock method of building artificial reefs.

Solid magnesium hydroxide also has smoke suppressing and fire retarding properties. This is due to theendothermic decomposition it undergoes at 332 °C (630 °F) :

Mg(OH)₂ → MgO + H₂O
