Sometimes they call topical "magnesium oil" but it is not really an oil, but just a very saturated liquid form.
One other name is Epsom-IT, and also Kirkman's magnesium cream.
It really works... many of us use it for pain, cramping etc.

Thanks very much Mrs D - I do have epsom salts to use in the bath but am really not sure about the quantity/ ration of salt to bath and it didn't make much difference when I used it last time. Probably quantities were insufficient.
I will see if I can buy some topical magnesium creams/ lotions online. Should I be taking Magnesium supplements too perhaps? - I do have some but haven't really tried it because I was trying to introduce B12 just now and wanted to be methodical. Mat
