Salts

Soak feet in water with Epsom salts in. Good for RA.

The trainer who runs my exercise class always tells us to have an Epsom Salt bath to ease stiffness/sore muscles. It works! It does contain magnesium.

I was given Epsom salts to dry up my milk after a miscarriage in the early 70's,it had a laxative effect.

I love an Epsom Salts bath.
Good for all your ills, I think.

I think you bathe in them, not take them?

You can buy magnesium tablets, usually with calcium and vit D to take as a supplement.
Magnesium is a muscle relaxant

not it and

Thanks Squiffy, I definitely could have used it a few weeks ago, when I had a rose thorn break of in my knuckle!

I saw a TV program which was discussing how good the Dead sea was for eczema and skin problems.
It's supposed to be high in magnesium, and I wanted to know if anyone had experience of taking it and why!

Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) paste can be used for drawing out splinters etc. Works like magic!
