MODERATOR NOTE! Please would everyone reading here be aware that the opinion in the post below is that of the poster and also use ANYTHING you read about anywhere with caution before consulting a qualified healthcare professional, especially if you are already having any treatment for an ailment. It should be noted that the amount of epsom salts suggested as "safe" may not be so, at least not for everyone! and so please be very careful and do not use the safely recommended dose that is generally considered to be much lower.
You simply cannot get enough Epsom salt absorption through your skin in a bath. At least not without some insanely crazy amount. Here is something to compare your bath with. The Dead Sea. Very high concentrations of Sodium and Magnesium salts. Not a problem for bathers. More extreme than that is sensory depravation tanks, which I have used myself. The base of the "tub" is less than 4x8 feet and is filled with 8 inches of water and dissolved Epsom Salt. Wanna know how much? 800 POUNDS!!! I would float (because the salt is so dense) for an hour or more. Besides being perfectly compfortable and warm and dark for an hour when one emerges the epsom salts have penetrated and give your whole musculature a wonderful relaxed feeling. I still have several hundred pound in the house and when I am feeling tight will put 5 pounds or so in my bath water. You can trust that you did not get too much.

Hi
sorry but I do have to comment here as that excessive amount of Epsom Salts in a bath could be potentially harmful to others!! The generally recommended "safe" amount is 1-2 cups of epsom salts in a tub of water with a 20 minute soak

As an example of how much we absorb chlorine, I did an AquaChi on a workshop attendant and the huge room filled with an intense chlorine smell. She was detoxing her swimming pool chlorine absorption. Even with filters, fluoride is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to get out of your water. This form of fluoride is not the one that is good for your teeth, and is a waste product of our nuclear industry. Secondly, our country is having a harder and harder time keeping bacteria out of our water. Also, city water is becoming laden with medications eliminated from those people on medication. In our research on water, we talked with the head of water treatment for a large local city. He said it was amazing the number of prescription medication pills and capsules that they had to remove from the waste water before treatment. Medications whose pills and capsules had melted away were much more difficult to remove if it was even possible. If you were soaking in well water, when was the last time you checked it? Additionally, most well water is acid these days. Granted, we do have an acid mantle on our skin, but soaking for so long in acid water and absorbing it, gets the acid into your body which is supposed to remain alkaline. And thirdly.... A 3-hour bath? 3-hours? Is it possible that you disrupted your electrolyte balance? If the magnesium was not in the water, it's possible that you would feel worse. Magnesium actually helps one's electrolytes and one of the medical uses of magnesium by IV is for that purpose. Believe me, there are simpler and healthier ways to escape the daily grind than a 3-hour soak in our currently questionable water. |
