Epsom Salt Baths

Main idea of this post:  Epsom Salt Baths do wonders for me by helping me to reduce pain and think more clearly.

I use about 1 Cup of Epsom Salts in a hot bath.  Some say to soak in the epsom salt bath for 20 to 30 minutes but I prefer about 45 to 60 minutes.  But then, I use the bath as one of my naps.  

That’s how I fit my bath into my schedule nearly every day.

Sometimes I add a cup of baking soda or about 10 drops of Lavender Oil.  But I think the Epsom Salt is what really helps me detox through the skin.  I also absorb the magnesium through the skin and that may account for some of the improvement also.

I usually feel totally fatigued and brain foggy after working for a couple of hours in the afternoon.  I go into the bath and afterward feel more energetic and more hopeful about life.  My pain is reduced, and I can work out, or work on the computer a bit more.

Give it a try!
