-Epsom Salts are a combination of magnesium and sulfate (MgSO<sub>4</sub>). Research indicates that 500g (2 cups) in an average size bath (temperatures 50-55°C) for 15-20 minutes a couple times a week can modestly increase levels of both magnesium and sulfate.(([[http://www.mgwater.com/transdermal.shtml|Report on Absorption of magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts) across the skin]], Dr RH Waring, School of Biosciences, University of Birmingham. B15 2TT, U.K.)) Both can be palliative during immunopathology. Magnesium can sooth sore muscles and sulfate may help with some sensitivities.(({{pubmed>long:8711748}})) +Epsom Salts are a combination of magnesium and sulfate (MgSO<sub>4</sub>).

 However, if you have a lot of sensitivities, or have not responded well to Epsom salt baths in the past, you may do better with a smaller amount of Epsom salts (e.g., 1/4 cup) as a starting point. Only use as much as appears beneficial.  The Epsom salts may be drying to the skin.  However, if you have a lot of sensitivities, or have not responded well to Epsom salt baths in the past, you may do better with a smaller amount of Epsom salts (e.g., 1/4 cup) as a starting point.
