We don't use hot water on the Peripheral Neuropathy forum here.
Lukewarm only. Heat can flare us with PN.... we avoid that.
I've been doing epsom salts for many years, never had a reaction to lukewarm water.
There is also a limit to how much can be absorbed from water...
here is a link:

I know that topical absorption does change with the product used.... The old CVS lotion did work for me a bit...but the new Morton Epsom Lotion is really good. I've been able to come off 3 blood pressure pills and now only take a small dose of beta blocker as a result. It also takes down my swelling left foot within hours! Something in this lotion base is improving absorption. It is creamier than the old CVS (which was discontinued).
