For feet you can do a pan to soak in or you can do the bathtub.

If you immerse your body in a big soak, you will be very surprised how wonderful they are. About 6-8 oz in a big bathtub, or 2-3 oz in a foot pan. Don't use HOT water. And if you immerse yourself, be aware that it gets SLIPPERY getting out of the tub...you need to be careful to avoid falls.
The magnesium also hydrates the skin, and makes it very nice and soft, which is an added bonus.

What I think happens is a vicious cycle. One is low in magnesium like most people, and this affects the small arteries and arterioles and makes the circulation to the hands and feet inadequate, which then delivers LESS nutrients, and fails in removing things that need to be excreted, and then the damage cycles worse and worse. If one responds to the soaks, you can continue them with no problem, but I think that response means that you need oral help, to get a full benefit.
