I use a 4lb bag in as warm as water as I can stand that is healthy for me. and just soak in it. I helps a lot to ease my back pain.

When I was growing Epsom Salts was a cure all for us. My mother would buy it in huge bags. As a grown up I still use it for many things.
|
A lot of the old remedies really do work. I would tend to take the massage therapists advice on this one!
Hope you feel better. What a great thing they're doing where you work! :) |
My DD who is 16 uses Epsom saltz all the time when she takes a bath. She has a lot of health problems and it helps her to relax. I also buy her lavender body wash. She doesn't handle stress very well and these help her.

I was surprised. I thought epson salts was some kind of old fashioned, old-wife's tale. (and I am not all that young at all!) Do any of you use epson salts? Does it really work? How do you use it? How much salts to how much water? Thanks! |
no bathroom cupboard is complete without a box of epsom salts. and when you pick up yours read the box, there are all kinds of benificial uses for the salts.

I get mine at the Dollar Store.... my tomatoes love it as much as I do... When I have sore stiff muscleo r a sprain.. as other have said.. into a tub of hot water I soak!
|
I also love epsom salts, especially lavendar, in the bath. Wonderful after for aches and sore muscles after a hard workout!! Someone mentioned Biofreeze and that is awesome after a massage. I need to find a source to buy from for home!

Epsom salts is great for all kinds of things, most are mentioned here. I use 1 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 cups of Epsom salts in teh tub with water as warm as I can stand it. Easae in up to chin and soak for as long as water stays warm. Then jump in bed and cover up. The combination draws out the poisons, eases sore and aching muscles, and is very relaxing. Sleep like a baby.

You don't need to take so much you have what is called "Explosive decompression" but need just a little.
To start with, when I find it on sale, I do as DH used to, I hurl lots of it about in the back yard, making sure that all the plants in pots get their fair share. Go to the Internet and check out all the ways you can use it. |
