How Do You Take An Epsom Salt Bath For Relief Of Muscle Pain?
Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) is a naturally occurring mineral traditionally used in hydrotherapy for relief of muscle strain and pain. It can also help minimize the chronic pain associated with chronic conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia. Used in a warm to hot bath, magnesium, which helps heal muscle pain and relieve inflammation, is absorbed through the skin. Whether you have muscle pain from over-exertion from exercise, or from a chronic condition, try an Epsom salt bath next time for relief. Measure one to two cups Epsom salt into a heat resistant measuring cup. Mix with hot water to dissolve. Epsom salt takes some time to dissolve in bath water and it’s more comfortable to dissolve them separately and add them to the bath water, rather than stir them in the tub, particularly if you’re in pain. Run your bath water. You’re looking to take a very warm, but not hot bath. While the bath is filling, pour your dissolved Epsom salt into the water. Soak for at least 15 to 20 min
