Abstract: A pain relieving composition for topical application is provided that includes magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts). The composition provides magnesium sulfate in an amount effective for providing pain relief. The composition has a viscosity effective for allowing topical application of the composition to an afflicted area where the magnesium sulfate is absorbed through the skin to provide pain relief. The composition provides the novel benefits of being portable, easily dispensed, and provides a higher concentration of applied magnesium sulfate than the traditional dispensing method of soaking solutions.
