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

hey Deb. I dont have a bath tub but I use the epsom salt in luke warm water . and a wash cloth to apply. it has been helping a little. granted I just started but.

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?

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.
