in different aisles!

WhoooHoooo!

Here it is:

And less expensive too!

(also my blood pressure has been so much better using it too! My doctor asked what I was doing, to get away with such a low dose on
my new medication--- I told her about the Epsom lotion! )

Can anyone find it locally? I assume it's widespread if Amazon can command that price...

I don't put it on my feet at all. I put it on my inner arms or my thighs, depending on the day. If my knees are acting up I put it there, but mostly on my arms where the skin is the thinnest.

I know it works because my blood pressure goes way down, and doesn't spike during the day, like it can. It also relaxes me and helps me sleep.

I've used it on hubby's back this summer too, to take down muscle strains.

I don't know how Epsom-it compares. Is magnesium the first ingredient on your label? On the CVS bottle it is the first ingredient, and must be concentrated, because if a drop sticks at the cap it turns to "stone" when it dries out! And the bottle is very heavy...so alot of mag must be in there. (the label does not give concentration of mag however).

I think soaking in epsom salts would give you more depending on how long you soak, per session.

The Kirkman product gives doses... 100mg/1gram of cream.

I searched on Walgreens and they have it listed as "out of stock" for the lotion.

I have seen Amazon put the price up to $24 in the past for short periods of time, but it always came back to about $6.

WalMart still shows out of stock.

But they have Dr. Teals magnesium body lotion:

Seems Dr. Teal's has several types.

I just called Morton's up on their consumer phone # ... it is really discontinued.

I have 3 bottles stocked up....so far. I guess Dr. Teal's will be the next option to explore now. I'll put one in my Amazon wish list for now when I make my next order there. DANG... I am so miffed about this.

Apparently Dr. Teal's has scent... I don't want scented!

The gal at Morton's, said some stores may still have some on shelf (but not on the websites). So hubby is out at Walgreen's near us to check that out.
