Epsom salt bath

For a 1.49 investment at Wal MArt, try it, what have you got to lose?

Good stuff, my son swore by it after every game!

Yeah I had some really bad blisters on my feet and I could barely walk. That stuff helps alot. And it is inexpensive too. Give it a shot.

My catcher son is also a great believer for general muscle soreness. It may be the salt, it may be the relaxing in a warm bath....either way it's good, safe, and using epsom salts won't turn up in a urine test .

My grandmother, rest her soul, believed in the magic of epsom salts--it cured all your body aches

I recommend Epsom salt baths too many of my older patients. Magnesium is a muscle relaxant, so it is especially powerful for muscle aches. I have also found that if it dries your skin, you can add a cap full of oil (olive oil, etc) into the bath. Just a suggestion

I LOVE olive oil...with a little garlic and romano and....OOOOOPS---off topic again!!

Ive read different responses every where so heres my question:

Should you wash after and clean off, or should you just dry off and not wash.


Thanks

Growing up we used epsom salts for any malady...the "salt" part is good for healing infections and yes, it does provide a soothing soak for aching muscles...I do not believe if you rinse or don't has any bearing on its effectiveness although I suspect it may feel a little like getting out of the ocean with salt on you...your skin may feel tight but to each his own....as far as olive oil goes...if you bathe with any oil...baby, olive or mineral(which by the way are great moisterizures) bear in mind you are literally well oiled as is the floor of the tub...so take great care when exiting the tub or you will be "slip, slidin' away"
