Magnesium oil for facial tics

[PositivelyC]

Hello,

New here and have read some of the posts and am happy to see so much support for this challenging issue. I am getting ready to start some dietary changes for my son's facial tics. I have read a lot about magnesium and its benefits and would like to start using mag oil as well as supplements. I have not been able to find much info on the oil. Any advice on a brand or which type of mag oil to use? Thank u

Hi and welcome.

 

I have no experience with magnesium oil, but we have successfully used Epsom Salts (Magnesium sulfate) transdermally as baths, footbaths, topical soaks, compresses or spray, or lotion for tics.

Thank you for your response. I did read on an older post there is a brand called Magnesoothe but I think it's only sold online. It's pretty pricey too! I would like to find something local but something that someone has had a good experience with. I do have some mag bath salt too I will be using for him.

I'm aiming for a 3-prong approach with this: diet, topical, and supplements. I am hoping and praying this will be the key.

Thanks again!
