 +<blockquote>heating the face can make the blood vessels stand out and cause rosacea (a red rash) in those who are prone to it. The oils are dissolved more readily and stripped from the face, which means, unless you really have very oily skin, it will dry out. We now know heat ages the skin so it makes sense to avoid this type of treatment for most people.

 Marshall Protocol (MP) patients with this concern should take warm instead of hot showers or baths and try to keep the bathroom cool. Ending a warm shower with a short period of cooler water can prevent congestion in the tissues and may even relieve pain. Marshall Protocol (MP) patients with this concern should take warm instead of hot showers or baths and try to keep the bathroom cool.

-Epsom Salts are a combination of magnesium and sulfate (MgSO<sub>4</sub>). Research indicates that 500g (2 cups) in an average size bath 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.
