5 Epsom Salt Mistakes (Watch THIS Before Using!)

[@gardenmind4515]

Thank you. The biggest mistake is not even doing it at all!! We all listen to the reasons why we shouldn’t do things and then, just don’t do anything.

As a Reflexologist, this video was very helpful. I suggest espom salt soaks for tired feet to my clients. I will pass this information to all my clients.

I use epsom.salts to soak my feet in ..i also add Lavender oil in ..feet feel so refreshed pain free

[@andriamsimpsonrussell]

Most people I know use Epsom salts to soak our horse's feet when any foot is warm to touch and shows bruising. More than likely there's an abscess brewing and the Epsom salts helps to draw out infections.

[@deankay4434]

Like a hot tube, set to 100 degrees F, when turn turned up to 102 degrees F, it feels extra hot and uncomfortable. Remember, 98.6 degrees F is normal body temp and high temperatures will always flow from an area of high energy to areas of low temperature. So, it heats the feet & body first for a long time, as the water is a good conductor and cools to the air around it, even if A/C or Heat is set to 78-68 degrees F. It enters the feet first, opens the blood vessels that allows warmer than normal blood to flow up into the torso. It cools the the air around it but that takes time depending on the temp, volume and external air temp contact on how fast it cools. 100 degrees F is best overall contact. As it cools over ten - 15 minutes, it begins to feel to cold. That is your sign it is time to stop. Don't forget to start without a towel to step on. Tile is slick when wet, so avoid accidents. Use a nylon scuff pad to clean heels and feet from dead skin cells. You shed 100,000 cells per hour. This is how blood hounds track people even in a slight breeze. Otherwise they are funneled down onto our feet and gather. This is the loose crusty stuff found on you feet. A gentle rubbing will get rid of them. DK, ASE master tech since 78, retired.

One bottle of water as a measurement? What size bottle? 8oz? 12oz?, 16oz? (Maybe using a measuring cup would be a better way. Like 1 tablespoon of Epson Salt to 1 or 1.5 cups as an example.)

Hey everyone, just guess on the water. A few ounces isn't going to make much difference.

[@budsak7771]

Are we talking a 20 oz., liter, or a gallon bottle? Or does one tablespoon fit all sizes?

[@bangdollarsign]

The basin you can get for Walmart (Homedics) is around a gallon up to the maximum line. I have that cheap Homedics basin and my formula is 1 cup of Epsom salt and 30 drops of tea tree oil. I used this basin and formula to cure a case of pitted keratolysis that I had for the prior 10 years, which was highly stanky. You can do foot baths for softness for beauty, whatever, I'm doing it for cleanliness. If you have stinky feet, you need to foot bathe!

[@KathrynFritze]

I doubt that you can get too much Epsom salts in a foot bath or bath tub. Simply because when you float in sensory deprivation tank there is approx 1/2 ton of Epsom salts dissolved in the tub. So much that you can’t sink. Like the Dead Sea salty. My skin is always silky smooth after N hour soak in such a tub. The temperature is just warm enough to maintain body temperature.

[@theDurgaLove]

And it cause major reactions in some people. Some people get violently ill from that much epsom salt. Look into it

I experienced COVID that lasted around 10 days. At first, I believed I was fine but I started to notice a loss of more hair than normal. After doing some research, I am realizing it’s from the strain my body went through during that time and also the shampoo that I was using. So I started doing meditation, yoga daily and changed my shampoo and conditioner to littleextrraa coooconion anti hair fall kit. And today I don't face any hairfall. Thank you for this video! I feel so much better.

[@darlarodriguez2186]

How long did it take for your hair to grow back? I also had the covid flu ihat lasted about nine days in January of 2022. It wasn't until March of 2022 that I noticed hand fulls of hair coming out and I think I lost about 40 percent of my hair. I used some apple cider vinegar on my hair, took biotin and some other vitamins and it took a good six months before I noticed my hair coming back in. Today, I have recovered what hair I lost due to the stress of being sick.

[@jaderrjaderr1354]

Inn my option water needs to cover the feet- ankles maybe;; Luke warm. Yes pedicures should be lasting twice a week or longer. For beginner step by step Soak supplies in soap and water ((scrub with small brush) Next use your feet soaker bowl put warm water and soak in for 5-10 minutes with no cuts. Then use your toe clipper. Use nail filler to shape your nails then use your to clean under your nails. Use cuticle too, push and g under the skin to push up the build up. Cut off the off the old dead skin or hang nail. Take your feet in the water for 10-12 minutes let soak Take it out, apply the dry towel on your wet feet, throughly wipe. Scrub with any design feet scrubber to take off excess skin. My favorite is use Vaseline as choice and unscented lotion (optional) Desiree paint coat as you wish. Put a clean slipper on your feet. Added salt apply (optional) Last instruction throughly clean the bowl out with tools properly.
