I use this epsom salt/coconut oil everywhere on a regular basis (and occasionally as a facial moisturizer too). I've read in a few places, including here, to only sit in an epsom salt bath for 15-20 minutes, and I've read elsewhere that this is because you could absorb too much magnesium and cause an imbalance. Also, that maybe it would trigger too severe of a detox, or something along those lines.What I'm wondering is, wouldn't using the lotion be like sitting in an epsom bath for a REALLY long time? Maybe too long? Has anyone else read anything like this, or have any thoughts?Thanks!

Which, of course, is not tosay it could not happen to anyone else. So, if it is not causing a reaction, it is not causing a reaction andit is fine to use, as a lotion or a long bath. Etc. Not everyone has to follow the instructions for the mostsensitive. That is what has to be individually determined, as in the foodon the diet. Etc., again. <g> Mara

With the lotion, you're only putting a small amount of it on your person.

With the bath, it's covering large quantities of your skin.

So, small amount for a long time, vs. large amount for a short

time.

I think it varies from person to person because as soon as I sit down--out I come.  Some people may not do well.  I have made a lotion and put on my feet but even that causes die-off.

Holly,

My doctor advised me regarding baths to sit for 30 minutes. Either baking soda (4 pounds of it) or epsom salt (2 cups). I did plenty of those. Just had to watch that I didn't have the water too hot or it made me feel nauseous and dizzy when I got out. DarleneIntestinal Dysbiosis/CFSSCD 1 month

Only 15-20 minutes? I always sit in there for an hour.
