Folks,
Does anyone include regular epsom salk baths in their wellness program?

I do about 2-3 45 min long soaks per week,with about 2 cups in each bath.
I lay there,sip on my veggie juices,and contemplate,and give thanks.

I put salts in the bath whenever I have time to take one. The kids have salt baths about once a week or so. I'm curious to try out that magnetic clay bath though, that sounds awesome.

i take epsom salts often after intense training sessions... they definitely help with sore muscles, plus it really gets the blow flowing through everything to kinda kickstart the healing process

I had a horrifying blister on my foot, once, and a sea salt + epsom salt bath cleared it up instantly. smiling smiley

I'm waiting for my tax returns to order the magnetic clay. <3

Epsom soaks are also wonderful for sore muscles...

Never got on well with any salt baths myself but this was during severe adrenal fatigue. They would make my heart go crazy.

Love magnesium baths though, the ancient minerals brand they are good. I still feel though if you are using solely for the reason of increasing your magnesium levels that the transdermal oil is the most efficient method.

I'm lovin baths with magnesium, sea salt and bicarb of soda. They help me sleep when I've been around too many crazy energies all day. And apparently the bicarb helps get rid of chlorine in the water?

I also read recently about how to make your own transdermal magnesium oil, just add a cup of magnesium chloride flakes to a cup of water.

Watch the bicarb of soda Lisa, it is very alkaline and the skin is meant to remain slightly acidic PH to prevent opportunistic pathogens such as candida.

How about rinsing with a dilution of vinegar and water to regain proper PH after a baking soda bath? That's a good thing to do after any bath, great for the hair too. It can be ACV or plain white vinegar though white vinegar is often GMO so purchase carefully.

oh, thanks for the heads up Power lifer smiling smiley I don't think I put that much in.. guess it would depend on the pH of the tap water as well.. plus, I always oil my body after a bath or shower, using a veg oil like sesame.. I seem to remember Daniel Vitalis talking about how that protects the skin from pathogens..
here's the link that I got the idea from: [www.wikihow.com]

Coco, yeah I've been using ACV as a 'conditioner' for my hair lately, it works good. And I use bicarb of soda as a shampoo. 1 tablespoon bicarb in 1 cup of water, and 1 tablespoon ACV in 1 cup of water. so easy, natural, and cheap!

Epsom salts baths are also good for cleansing of emotional releases. I have done multiple baths after deep body-mind therapy and it helped much.

Thats exactly the inner drive I do them .
Seems to be an emotional release of some kind.
Always feel better afterwards.
