Epsom Salts Baths

[Debbie1]

I have read several posts lately mentioning Epsom Salt Baths. Could someone explain to me what they are used for? I am relatively new to this forum and must have missed earlier posts on the benefits.

 

Thanks!

Epsom salt baths are known for their ability to relax and detoxify. I think most people here use them because they are an excellent source of transdermal magnesium. Sometimes when the digestive system isn't working so well, one can absorb more through skin. Please sternly warn your child not to drink the bathwater. It's not dangerous, but it may cause diarrhea.

 

I don't know what others do, but I alternate between Natural Calm (oral mag.) and baths, so as not to do both the same day. We ALWAYS do them after chlorinated pools to remove the chemicals.
