How to use properly the Epsom salt bath?

Alexander Berger, RMT in Oakville News and what's happening Epsom salt, hot bath, massage Oakville, tips

First of all let see and discuss why it is good to take hot bath with Epsom salt. As we all know we are getting our magnesium throughout the food on a daily basis but the modern farming methods do not emphasis crop rotation, a practice that helps maintain balance in the soil. As a result, the food we eat often contain less magnesium that is required for optimal body health.

Therefore, diffusion though the skin is often a more efficient method for magnesium absorption because some foods and medications inhibit optimal assimilation of magnesium through the digestive tract. Epsom salts baths, then, are a good option for increasing the body’s magnesium level.

Epsom salts can be used in a variety of temperature therapy applications –

  • Compress – mix 250 ml ( 1 cup ) of Epsom salts with 2 liters ( ½ gallon ) of warm water and place on or wrap around the sore area.
  • Hot bath – add 250 ml ( 1 cup ) of Epsom salts to a foot bath or 500 ml ( 2 cups ) to a hot full body bath, and soak for 15-20 minutes to help detoxify and soothe. The person should shower or rinse off afterward.

Epsom salts baths are often recommended following exercise or manual treatments lime massage therapy.

In our clinic of massage therapy in Oakville it is one of the most popular self-care recommendations after massage therapy treatments.
