Deb, I think you might be thinking of the Epsom Salt lotion. mrsD is very familiar with it and I'm sure she'll post here soon.
Is this the product? http://www.amazon.com/Morton-Epsom-L.../dp/B008X365AU

Didn't know there was a cream!
I put a couple of tablespoons of epsoms in a bowl of lukewarm water and soak my feet when they're really bad, and it does give me some relief, although it hurts initially to feel the water... For my knee, I wrap the epsoms in a damp cloth and lay it on the skin. I don't do it all the time, only when things are bad - anyone know if there is a cumulative effect with them? Is it worth doing every day? Bram.

Yes, you can do it every day. It is a lotion in an 8oz bottle.
No fragrance and it rubs in quickly to the applied site. If applied over veins (like in the foot and hand) more will get into the blood stream to work systemically. You don't slather it on, but use about a quarter's diameter on the site needed. A little goes a long way. Magnesium is an NMDA antagonist, reducing pain. Also it dilates blood vessels improving circulation to the site. Studies have shown that up to 70% of US residents do not get the RDA of magnesium in their diets. Magnesium is an essential mineral in about 100 biochemical reactions in the body.

Magnesium also relaxes muscles and helps with cramping problems.

Thanks for this. After much searching, I've ordered a tub of Magnesium Sulphate Cream (Epsom Salt preparation) made by Kirkman. 4oz tub (113g) for £20. It seemed to be the best value, and when it comes I think I'll put some into a smaller tube for carrying around.
Yay!!! Hope it's as good as I want it to be Bram.

The Kirkman product comes with a measuring spoon... 100mg of magnesium/ gram measure.
This is handy, because adults should aim for 200mg a day to start. Adults need about 400mg of mag a day, and if you eat some mag rich foods, you don't need the full RDA from the cream. Those who avoid nuts, beans, leafy greens, should use more of the cream/lotion. I found that this lotion lowered my high blood pressure to more normal levels. So if you take blood pressure drugs, you should test yourself often to see if your medication becomes too strong for you. Discuss any changes with your doctor. If you skip or stop using the magnesium topical your blood pressure will go back up if you have hypertension.

The muscles that run your fingers are in the forearm... that is where you want to rub in the lotion...not on the fingers per se.
I usually rub the last bit of lotion left on my hands, into my fingers at the end. But the majority of the lotion should go on your arms. I also like putting it on my inner wrists and under the forearms...as that helps it get into the blood stream faster for other benefits, like lowering blood pressure.
