I love those epsom salt baths.. They are really nice for older folks too,
since circulation to the feet can be less for them, and hence less of anything
in the bloodstream gets thru to the feet (and fingers too).

So epsom salts really help there, the mag goes right thru the skin.
It also softens the skin and allows for easy removal or maintenance of calluses.

Some people with autistic children find the sulfate portion of the epsom salts
helps them too.

There are creams that contain magnesium.
One is made by Kirkman labs.

Some parents at OBT's autism forum reported that rubbed in before bedtime
settled the children down alot.

Thanks for reminding me, Chemar!

And Thanks for that input Ayle... magnesium sulfate IV is also used for
pregnant women who have eclampsia.
