magnesia
White mineral laxative
Magnesia is a white powder of magnesium oxide, used as an antite or laxative (milk of magnesia) and in refractory materials.
The compound resists high heat, making it valuable for lining furnaces.
She took some milk of magnesia for her upset stomach. (Capitalized Magnesia is an ancient region.)
