Is it best to soak the feet at bedtime?
thank you.

I don't think it matters.

Some find the relaxation from epsom salts nice at night though and helps sleep.

Mrs. D, I soaked my feet today in a warm water with Epsom salt. Good gracious, my feet suddenly were burning! Before I soaked, my feet were painful but not burning.

Is it just my nerves not used to it and trying to adjust? If this is something normal I will soak again tomorrow but if not, I wont try it again.

I know it might have been years ago when you did the Epsom sallt, but would you remember the sensation the first time?

Thank you.

Question
Oh, I still do epsom salts... never have had burning ever.

If you make it too strong, and you have dry skin, the salt could sting I suppose. This is why we should not use HOT water either.
Only warm.

But there have been a very few posters here over time who claimed to have burning.

I used warm water in a medium sized basin. Water was ankle-high and Epsom was 3 oz, skin not dry.

I will try again tom with lesser Epsom. I want this to work magnesium is in my "to try" list of supplement. As I read your thread on supplements, my list also becomes longer. I really wanted my thyroid function to stabilize because I want to try ANCAR and R lipoic.

Mrs. D, I tried soaking my feet again in warm water with Epsom salt. For 2 days now, it has not given me the burning feeling like the first time. I am wondering how many times can you soak your feet epsom in a day?

It gives me temporary relief from my feet pain. Although the relief only lasted briefly, but any relief - even how brief it is - is always WELCOME!!!

Thank you Mrs. D!

I only soak when my feet hurt. Maybe once a week.
I used to do it with every bath. But I don't soak in the tub as much because I find it hard to get out! (embarrassing to admit...but my muscles are shot).

I use the magnesium lotion now almost daily, and that takes the
edge off for me.

Thank you Mrs.D. I dont have magnesium lotion at home now. My feet are really hurting. I think the pain in my feet is getting worse. Can I soak more than once a day Mrs.D?

Thank you.
