Epsom Salt Bath

One of the best ways to treat sore muscles either after exercise or a deep tissue massage is to take an Epsom salt bath. Epsom salt is sold at most drug stores for three or four dollars. The instructions are simple:

Add 2 cups of epsom salt to a hot (but comfortable) bath. Soak for at least 20 minutes. Rinse

........

A note of caution: If you have high blood pressure or a heart or kidney condition, you should not take an epsom salt bath without consulting your physician. If you have an acute injury, you should not take an Epsom salt bath at all.

Another note: this information is for general reference purposes only. Always seek the advice of your physician before starting any new treatment.
