Do have to be cautious with Epsom Salt, make sure individual does not

suffer from high blood pressure and does not swallow any of the water,

could create poop city if any of it is swallowed.

We too use the Epsom Salt bath for my son and monitor.

I had begun with 1 cup then to 2, depending on your child.

See the site I have posted.

How to give Epsom salts

Here are several methods for giving Epsom salts. The ratio is not

exact, just what seems to get the salts dissolved and on the skin.

Epsom salt baths †" Most people use about one to two cups per tub.

Dissolve the salts in hot water first and then fill the tub to about

waist deep, as warm as possible. The amount of salts you may find

works best will depend on the individual tolerance, the temperature of

the water, and the size of the tub. The warmer the water and larger

the tub, the more salts will dissolve. If you see negative reactions,

such as irritability or hyperactivity, then decrease the amount of

salts. You may need to start with as little as one tablespoon of

salts, and work up gradually. Epsom salts baths are very calming for

most people. This works well just before bedtime. Most guides say to

soak for about 20 minutes or more. It is okay to let the salts dry on

the skin. You may notice a dry clear-white powder. If it is too itchy

or irritating, just rinse it off. If the skin feels too dry, use

lotion or oils to moisturize. Diarrhea or loose stools may result if

children drink the bath water.

Remember what works for my son may not work for your child so always

proceed with caution and document any side effects or trials.

Good luck.
