Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 , Thanks for the info about Epsom salts.... all I can remember as a kid them being good for was my gramma would soak her feet in Epsom salts.... In your opinion would the Epsom be better at moving the bowels than the Casara Sagrada? I did find it cramped me somewhat, but not badly. The only problem complaint I had with the cleanse was nausea..... all nite, (after I drank the concoction of olive oil and lemon juice) thanks the tips......appreciate it, Dee (in Wet flooded Texas) ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 I was concerned about this too, but I took the 4 tablespoons of Epsom salts in the 3 cups of water and I didn't have any problem with my blood pressure. I have been taking medication for my blood pressure for almost two years now and I drank the Epsom salt last month. -----Original Message----- From: ladybug35@...

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 , thanks for the reassurance about the Epsom's salt, being sodium sensitive I am very careful of what I eat or drink........ I tried that diet of water/sea salt a few years ago, that book that came out the The Bodies Cries for Water...or something like that, suggested drinking enormous amounts of water and using sea salt in it...... well, let's just say, my BP sky rocketed..........so I'm more careful now.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 13 Wonderful Ways to Use Epsom Saltsby Annie Berthold-Bond, Care2.com Producer, Green Living Channels Simple SolutionI always knew that soaking in a tub full of hot water with a few cups of Epsom Salts was good for relaxing muscles and drawing toxins from the body, but I could never find out why. And it wasn't until I spent some time at the Epsom Salt Industry Council website that I learned that Epsom Salts -- made of the mineral magnesium sulfate--are also a sedative for the nervous system. When magnesium sulfate is absorbed through the skin, such as in a bath, it draws toxins from the body, sedates the nervous system, reduces swelling, relaxes muscles, is a natural emollient, exfoliator, and much more. EPSOM SALT TIPS Adapted from the Epsom Salt Industry Council Epsom Salt Council Note: Check with a doctor before using if you have any health concerns. * Relaxing and Sedative Bath: Soak in warm water and 2 cups of Epsom Salt. * Face Cleaner: To clean your face at night, mix a half-teaspoon of Epsom Salt with your regular cleansing cream. Just massage into skin and rinse with cold water. * Homemade Skin Mask: Apply the mask to damp skin. For normal to oily skin, mix 1 tablespoon of cognac, 1 egg, 1/4 cup of nonfat dry milk, the juice of 1 lemon, and a half-teaspoon of Epsom Salt. For normal to dry skin mix 1/4 cup of grated carrot, 1 1/2 teaspoons of mayonnaise and a half-teaspoon of Epsom Salt. * Foot Soak: Soothe aches, remove odors, and soften rough skin with a foot soak. Add 1/2 cup of Epsom Salt to a large pan of warm water. Soak feet for as long as it feels right. Rinse and dry. * Skin Exfoliator: Massage handfuls of Epsom Salt over your wet skin, starting with your feet and continuing up towards the face. Have a bath to rinse. * Remove Excess Oil from Hair: Epsom Salt soaks up excess oil from hair. Add 9 tablespoons of Epsom Salt to 1/2 cup of oily hair shampoo. Apply one tablespoon of the liquid to your hair when it is dry; rinse with cold water. Pour lemon juice or organic apple cider vinegar through the hair, leave on for 5-10 minutes, and then rinse. * Hairspray: Combine 1 gallon of water, 1 cup of lemon juice, and 1 cup Epsom Salt. Combine, cover, and let set for 24 hours. The next day, pour the mixture into your dry hair and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then shampoo as normal. * Hair Volumizer: Combine equal parts of deep conditioner and Epsom Salt. Warm in a pan. Work the warm mixture through your hair and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse. * Soak Sprains and Bruises: Epsom Salt will reduce the swelling of sprains and bruises. Add 2 cups Epsom Salt to a warm bath, and soak. * Splinter Remover: Soak in Epsom Salt, it will draw out the splinter. Epsom Salt Industry Council Suzi What is a weed?

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Some people use epsom salt in warm water to soak their feet. I just bought a resealable bag of epsom salt at Wal-Mart for $1.79 or $1.89 in the pharmacy section. Under $2 anyway.
