This response to epsom salts has to do with magnesium.
Some magnesium is absorbed thru the skin.
When you have swelling you have a back up of blood in the small capillaries and this prevent NEW blood from getting thru with its nutrients.
Magnesium reduces swellling by improving circulation to tissues that are clogged up. Also magnesium works against calcium in the NMDA receptor, which can lower pain responses.
Many of us on PN use epsom salts all the time.
(including me)
