Rubbing alcohol in epsom salt baths

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I just read the post about epsom salts and rubbing alcohol and I had to respond.

Rubbing alcohol is a neuro toxin, particularly for children. Remember the

alcohol baths from years ago to bring down fever? Medical reports now show that

it was linked with causing brain damage. We all work so hard to keep our kids

on this diet, I would hate to see us add another challenge for them. On a

positive note, adding a couple of teaspoons on glycerin to an epsom salt bath

will help prevent any dryness. Hope this helps.

Thank you for pointing out the neuro toxin about rubbing alcohol in epsom salt

bath. I am the one who post it. I have used it to soothing my arthritis pain,

and did not aware of the toxin for children. I am sorry to mess up.
