Epsom Salt for Detox

[patty]

Since my son had more symptoms while using homeopathic medicine to detox his kidney & liver, i found alot of info on this board regarding detox thru the skin using epsom salt bath.

 

I do have a few questions:

 

Can Epsom salt bath increase tics? (since my son had more tics when detox using homeopathic remedies)

 

Should the epsom salt bath be prepared with FILTERED WATER, since unfiltered water may contain chorine.... ?

 

If the epsom salt bath is prepared in UNFILTERED WATER, can the epsom salt draws out the bad stuff in the water and absorb it into the body? I know i sound paranoid, but I have to ask for my peace of mind!!

 

How often do you have to take an epsom bath to be effective?

 

Can epsom salt bath draw out mercury, lead, ....?

 

Can you get too much magnesium from the epsom bath? ( since my son is only 61/2)

 

Thx for being patient with me.

Hi Patty

 

we use filters on all faucets because of my son's chlorine sensitivity. However, if you dont currently use filters on faucets, the epsom salts will still help to soothe and detox

 

Epsom Salts is not homeopathic! It is magnesium sulfate salt. So it is in no way acting like those UNDA remedies

 

I have never heard anyone say that it increased their tics, quite the opposite it seems to soothe and reduce tics, especially before bed

 

Sitz baths are a long known health remedy. Some people like to shower afterward, some dont. But no, you arent going to absorb the bad stuff back againas the salts are drawing it out

 

yes, taking too much magnesium orally is not a good idea, but your son cant OD on magnesium in an Epsom Salt bath

 

HTH and no, you dont sound paranoid! just correctly being a careful mom

Thx Chemar,

 

Can Epsom salt draw out mercury, lead....?

 

Also, where can i find filter for my bathtub faucet? I only found filter for shower heads.

Hi Patty

where the sitz baths certainly can help to draw out all toxins, I wouldnt rely on it to eliminate heavy metals.

We found chlorella to be very effective in removing mercury from our systems, but it should be started at minimal dose and gradually increased as, being a potent green food, it can initially cause nausea

 

There are many different kinds of faucet filters with a range of prices. The PUR over faucet filters are inexpensive and quite effective as long as you are diligent about replaing the filter
