Magnesium gel vs magnesium oil
What is more effective - magnesium gel or magnesium oil?
Some context - I'm applying it over almost the entire body to help with psychogenic muscle constrictions that are likely caused by my OCD.
A Bowen-technique therapist recommended that I go for oil rather than gel. Is there evidence that it is really superior?

Magnesium oil (in the form of spray, gel, lotion or bath flakes) contains magnesium chloride (Amazon). There seems to be no evidence that magnesium chloride is even absorbed through the skin in significant amounts (Myth or Reality - Transdermal Magnesium, PubMed Central).
There is also no evidence that magnesium in any form (including oral) would prevent muscle cramps (Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database/WebMD):
Taking magnesium supplements does not seem to decrease the frequency
or intensity of muscle cramps.
