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.
