Epsom salt baths

[Guest guest]

Epsom salts baths are wonderful; my 5yo son is having one now. They

really help to relax him. I just dump about a cup or two of epsom

salts in when I run his bath. They are not harmful if they are " not

needed " ; epsom salts have been used for years for soaking infections,

sprains, or just in a bath to " make the water feel good " . They do

have a laxative effect, so don't let your sons drink the bath water!

Just read the label and/or ask your pharmacist about epsom salts.

Hope the baths help! Bless--

Approximately how much epsom salt, Rogene. My pain dr. told me I

think about 1 cup epsom salt and 1 cup baking soda, does that sound

right? Hgus, K.

I have used that recipe before with the 1 cup of epsom salts and 1

cup of baking soda. I have also used sea salt instead of epsom

salts and also clay instead of epsom salts. They all make me herx.

The clay seems to be the strongest. Many people add 2 large bottles

of peroxide. It supposedly helps with a herx. Many people think it

does, but others think it makes them herx more. It is talked about

alot on the rheumatic sites. Good luck

,

The amount of Epsom salts/soda used would depend on

the size of your tub. . .

I would use 1 cup of each for the average size tub,

and go either up or down from there.

Where we're staying right now it would probably be

less than half of that! I guess it saves water!

BTW, a friend told me that when she started Espom

Salt/Baking soda baths, the water turned brown!. . .

After 50 years of smoking, I wonder what that was????

Hugs,

Jaqueline Krohn, M.D., M.P.H., who practices medicine in Los Alamos, New Mexico, offers the following techniques for using hot herbal baths as an effective way to detoxify the body. The hot water stimulates blood flow near the skin surface, opens pores, and increases perspiration, thereby supporting the faster release of toxins, Dr. Krohn explains in her book, "The Whole Way to Natural Detoxification." She suggests starting with a trial series of plain-water hot soaks as a preparation because, depending on one's toxic load, detoxification baths "can make you feel very ill" as the toxins move out of your body. Dr. Krohn advises an initial five-minute immersion in water as hot as you can tolerate, then building in five-minute increments to a thirty-minute soak. Before taking the bath, shower or scrub your body thoroughly using soap and a loofah sponge, and take another cleansing shower after the soak; follow the same procedure for the detoxification

baths, as described below. Always use extreme care when stepping out of a hot bath, as standing up abruptly may cause temporary dizziness. Dr. Krohn cautions that if you experience dizziness, headache, exhaustion, fatigue, nausea, or weakness, stop the bath and wait a few days before resuming the program. If you experience none of these symptoms, then proceed with three detox baths per week. Dr. Krohn recommends taking some vitamin C before and after each bath (to help remove toxins) and drinking an eight-ounce glass of pure water during each bath (to encourage sweating). Dr. Krohn suggests using only one of the following protocols per bath; each substance has a different detoxifying benefit: --Epsom Salts: Start with 1/4 cup added to the bath water, and build gradually to four cups per bath. --Apple Cider Vinegar: Start with 1/4 cup added to the water, then increase gradually to one cup. --Hydrogen Peroxide: Add up to eight ounces of food-grade 35%

hydrogen peroxide to a tub half full of warm water. --Baking Soda: Eight ounces of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) may be used; alternatively, mix equal amounts of baking soda sea salt, gradually increasing to one pound of each.

Nice info...thanks, Suzi. Interesting the HCS detox bath calls for

body temp water.....just enough hot to dissolve salts in 15 min. then

fill the bath with body temp. water...guess it's pretty strong. I

can't handle hot baths anyway...I add more epsom salts when I do them.

Hi Becky

The one I did, the rinse off was straight away in COLD! But because you are

sooo hot and sweating from the hot epsom one, the cold shower feels warm!

Becky,

A long relaxing and detoxifying bath.... This bath stimulates circulation and induces perspiration and speeds up the detoxifying process. This bath should not be taken if you suffer from heart or blood pressure problems, are diabetic, or are feeling weak and faint. Consult your practioner first.

Draw a warm deep bath and dissolve about 450 grams (16 ounces) of Epson's salts and add three drops rosemary essential oil.

Lie in the bath for at least 20 minutes and while relaxing, drink a cup of herbal tea (ginger works good), or warm water with a slice lemon, which will help to increase sweating and to replace liquids lost through perspiration. The bath can be topped up with hot water to keep the temperature stable.

After 20 minutes run some cold water into the bath to gently start cooling down the bath and after 10 minutes in the cooler bath gently get out. Do not get up too fast as you may feel dizzy. Do not rub yourself dry but rather wrap yourself in towels and/or a gown and lie down on your bed.

This is what I do..."rwattenbach@..." <rwattenbach@...> wrote:
