Guest guest Posted September 21, 2001 Report Share Posted September 21, 2001 does anyone know off the bat, how often you can give a child an epsom salt bath?i gave my son one last night and he loved it. Iguess the trick is to get them to sweat,he really liked the hot water (not burning hot) i did notice it took him a long time to perspire, i was long before him just from being in the room. thanks sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2001 Report Share Posted September 21, 2001 Loren, I've read that we release toxins through perspiration, and that some people use epsom salt baths in warm (as can be tolerated) water as a means of chelation, along with other natural treatments....i have no idea of the validity of this or if anyone has ever any documented results. i have no idea what part the epsom salt plays in this process, i know the are used as a soaking solution to draw out splinters, perhaps they can help draw out toxins from our bodies? wouldn't it be nice...If i find where i read about them I'll post later I know they were used in " unraveling the mysteries of autism and PDD " but i've read about them in several other sources as well...give it a try it can't hurt and they really are relaxing!

Sweating helps the salts enter the body system so they can work on the phenols. Here is my info on that. http://home.pacbell.net/cscomp/phenol.htm Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
