Does Dr. G have a position on Epsom Salt Baths for kids?

Hi Cat,

I am allergic to sulpha-based antibiotics and I recently learned that epsom

salts have sulpha in them. My son, too, is allergic to sulpha-based

antibiotics.

I have taken a couple of epsom salt baths with him (he was only 3), and I

got nauseated afterwards. Do you think it's related? He seems to be ok, but

after I learned about the sulpha in the salts, now I'm a bit concerned.

Also, I visited a mineral hot springs in So Cal a few months ago, and after

a few minutes in the warmest of the pools, I got very large purple marks on

my legs that looked like massive bruises. They disappeared a day or two

later. No pain was associated with them. Any ideas what they might have

been?

Thanks,

Kristy

talk about chelation: Old School: Epsom Salt Baths

I know people get crazy on when you bring up chelation...but Epsom

Salt baths (old school chelation) are wonderful!

My autistic son takes epsom salt baths several times a week and they

completely calm down his central nervous system. Tics and stims are reduced

tremendously and he is so calm and relaxed.

If we lived near hot mineral springs I could do that for him, but this

is the next best thing. And even better yet, a huge bag of epsom salt at

Eckerd Drugs is only $1.98!

If your child is nervous, or suffers from intense stims and tics, try an

epsom salt bath a few times a week! (They are nice for parents too!)

Hi Donna,

I remember a parent once telling me they asked Dr G about epsom salt

baths, and his opinion was they may not be of any help, but was not

opposed to them either. I think I tried my son one week and noticed

nothing, but think I will try it again now the summer is almost here

(easier to observe and not so pressed for hitting bedtime!)

Dr G told me that epsom salt baths are perfectly fine.

For uncircumcised little boys, though, it can be very

irritating, so be sure to rinse that area very well,

and if they seem to be grabbing a lot, you may have to

cut back and test to see if this is contributing to

irritation.
