Kirkman labs makes a magnesium sulfate cream that I have heard very good reports on.
I am planning to get some for those times when my son would prefer a cream to an Epsom Salts bath

After reading Dr. Michael Lyons's book "Healing the Hyperactive Brain" I understood the importance of Omega 3 oils and magnesium for proper brain function. Budwig also mentions Omega 3 for brain function. I also learned that many ADD/ADHD and autistic children are magnesium deficient. (also, diabetics and people on chemo for cancer test low on magnesium)
I came up with a simple recipe for a topical cream containing simple ingredients that is quickly absorbed through the skin. My sister uses it for daily massages on her children (all three with adhd/autism behaviors)and, though not a cure, their concentration and behavior has improved.
1. Pour a bottle of unflavored Milk of Magnesia though paper or cloth filter (I used a #6 cone coffee filter). Discard the liquid and keep the thick residue.
2. Melt coconut oil (I melt a pint jar of coconut oil in a pan of hot water) Note: you can buy coconut oil in most health food stores--- less expensive in Asian or International grocery stores --- I buy it locally in an Asian market for about $6.00 a pint.
3. Combine and mix with a hand-held electric mixer (stick type works best):
1 cup melted coconut oil (Omega 6 essential fatty acid)
1/2 cup flaxseed oil (Omega 3 essential fatty acid)
3/4 cup Milk of Magnesia residue(thick residue from the filter)
This mixture will seize up into soft margarine consistency within seconds!
4. Store it in clean small lidded containers. I keep it in the refrigerator but it holds consistency if left at room temperature except during very hot weather.
5. Use liberally as a hand and/or body lotion. It absorbs quickly. Improved brain function, increased memory and concentration is discernable about an hour after use.
6. It may also have an effect on body mass through eliminating excess water in the tissues, I've been using it lately on my "midriff bulge" and I'm not as puffy as before. Also, more frequent urination for a few hours after application. I don't know exactly what is going on, but my clothes are fitting much better!
