Recipe for "Magnesium Oil":
- Bring ½ cup of water to a boil in a non-aluminum saucepan. Turn off the heat and stir in ½ cup of magnesium flakes until dissolved. When cool, pour into a spray bottle.
- You just created a highly saturated Magnesium solution and when applied to the skin it feels somewhat greasy (thus the name). Avoid sensitive skin areas to reduce stinging sensation.
- Possible benefits include reduced muscle cramping, improved sleep, help with headaches, and as an anti-stress agent.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place

Ron M. 
CanadaMagnesium Chloride flakes
A close friend found that magnesium oil applied topically would relieve arthritis-like joint pain almost immediately. I made a small batch using your online recipe to test for results in chronic muscle spasms in my neck and shoulders, but to no avail. The product mixed well without residue and had a slight prickling sensation, but nothing unpleasant. Ordering was simple and delivery remarkable! Testing will continue just for fun. R.

Bonita K. CanadaNigari for making tofu
It works great! Using this to curdle the soymilk is what gives tofu it glossy, smooth texture.

I use this product in my bath, sometimes along with Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) to help increase my overall magnesium levels. It will relax sore muscles, and also helps me sleep better.
