this mineral product is "the ultimate foot soak," easing achy muscles, smoothing the rough patches, and absorbing odors?

Here are some additional recommendations:

* Add one or two cups of epsom salts to warm bath water for a soothing and stress-reducing soak.
* Massage a handful of epsom salts over wet skin to cleanse, exfoliate, and soften the rough spots.
* Use a warm salt-soaked compress to reduce swelling from scrapes, use a cold compress to take the sting out of insect bites.
* Feed epsom salts to your plants, vegetables, and lawn for greener grass and big, healthy vegetables.

I wasn't really convinced that something like that could do much but trying is believing. I started my 10 hour shift 4 days a week (standing and walking constantly) and by the end of the day my dogs were really barkin'!!! A friend of mine suggested I go home and soak my feet in Epsom salt. I filled a deep roasting pan with hot water and the suggested amount of Epsom salts and let my feet soak for about 15 minutes. I was tickled to death when I dried my feet off, put some thick house socks on and walked around a bit. Soothing relieved soreness and really made my feet feel great. I just wish the affect would have lasted longer. But it's true! I would recommend it! I hear you can immerse your whole body in the tub with the stuff and come out feeling totally refreshed.

It a drawing element. It draws out fluid somehow.
It really does work for swellings.

It is also an incredible treatment for constipation, although it tastes terrible.

Can be used for constipation or flushing the body of toxins. I think someone else mentioned on here that it creates a drawing effect on your body which is very true. When you take a bath with it, it will draw toxins and fluid from you. Great for swellings. Also works really nice if you have a sliver somewhere to soak in epsom salts, it will help to draw the sliver out. Epsom salts energetically have a cleansing effect. If you have a bad day, or you were surrounded by stress or harsh environment it will cleanse your energy field in a bath. That can sound far fetched to people who are not familar with energy work, but it is wonderful for that. Try it after a stressful day.

Also good source of magnesium -- you will absorb through the skin during a bath / soak and most people are highly depleted in magnesium.
