5 Epsom Salt Mistakes (Watch THIS Before Using!) 

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.

We use 2:1 cups in bath tub epson salt : baking soda. Promotes . Heals bug bites , muscle inflammation.

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.

I really appreciate you explaining the finer points of using Epsom Salts for the healthful reasons you duscuss in this video. You have an incredibly calm voice and it is relaxing . Thank you again sir.

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.

Thank you so much Dr. God bless you with good health 😊 🙏

This information is very helpful with the exception of the amount of water. You said a bottle, what size? Moving your hands in a circle is not a measurement.

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.)

Thank you for this! I heard how great it was but never knew these other things could be issues. As a type II diabetic I want to know all I can.

Appreciate your information. Blessings from Texas to you and your family

Thank you for your There are so many claims without scientist proof. Do you know adding baking powder. The difference between baking soda and baking powder.

Thanks for this useful information. I am gonna have a HARD time giving up my steaming hot water, tho! : (

How about measuring the concentration in g / L ?

Thankyou very much Sir

Thank you doctor from india

Thank you 🙏🏻

Dr kim, Merry Christmas how many cups of epsom salt can i put in when I want to float the whole body, water degrees and how long is better? And how many times a week can I float? Many thanks

So it’s good to soak more than 1-2x’s/wk if you’ve got an infection, but then if your diabetic it’s not good to soak an infection?

what is the quietest foot spa? bubbles and heat good nuff for me

thank you

My mother is diabetic abd has swollen legs and feet was wondering what you recommend for that

Is this good for psoriasis?

What about tub soaks. What is the recommend amount?

How to use epsum salt in case of piles...?? Should it be added to too hot water n steam should be taken.? Or it should be added to warm water n sitz bath is effective??

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.

How does one become a Holistic Podiatrist, I would like more information on this. I am aware of the steps to podiatry, but is there a pathway to Holistic Podiatry or is it a combination of Disciplines?

Which bottle of water? Should be specified in liters... X liters water and one tablespoon...

Can you recommend a foot bath? Provide a link? Thank you

Thanks

What would the ec per gallon need to be? Like 50?

Very Good Information...Thank You Truly💛Dr. Kim

Hello doctor I need help here cause I used all those things about its getting worse and I don't know what must I do

Could you elaborate more about the one tablespoon in one bottle of water explain more about the bottle of water please.If possible make a video on how to mix the Epsom salt in the basin with the steps you have given us please

How are the pours going to open up to allow the Epsom salt to do the work if the water isn't hot enough. Surely a moisturiser would be sufficient after the hot foot soak?

test temp with your elbow.or as for baby bottle,on inside of wrist...

There are several sizes of bottled water, could you tell us how many fl oz of water per tablespoon of Epson salts please

i think he means is dilute the epsom salts more if diabetic ... being feet are vulnerble it seems they need less intense exposue to products?

What about adding black see oil or adding to skin after?

What could I do with 6 months right foot numbness? I have L4 L5 L5 SI slipped disk AM an Asian 71 years old female Thank you. I also suferred for two years exzema. Will Epson Salt help?

How does this video relate to ingrown toenail soaking?

Love it if... it's devolved and then cooled. Simply amazing 10 mins😊 wow, rub off loosened un-wants then dry.

After soaking.i started having soreness on my left side..kidney???

Why don't you say what size bottle of water? So one tablespoon per one bottle of water, but how big is the water bottle?

Does this work for seed corns? It’s very bad to the point of wearing shoes hurt

Ty for soaking feet guidance.

A lot of good usable information on Epsom salt. What size bottle of water? Readily available from half a liter to gallon. Thank you.

What size of water bottle (for measuring)??

OK....1 tablespoon per bottle of water.....bottles come in LOTS of sizes! LOL What size bottle do you recommend?

Can I use regural salt doc?

One bottle of water , what size bottle please ?

I really need some advice here. I have had some Varicose vein treatments lately for my legs, calf's. I noticed one day a big blister on my heel, below the ankle part of the heel. Then a week later I got a long / are several blisters on the outside part of my heel below the ankle. They are clear and filled with a clear liquid. Then last night I got a sharp pain like a needle sticking in my foot and it was a big blister below my ankle. They all have a clear liquid, but after popping, they seem to drain a clearish blood and water-type liquid. What is going on here, I am scared.

Great video and it seems the half cup of Epsom salt measurement / basin is almost as accurate as the amount of Epsom salt per water bottle unit of measurement because that unit of measurement is a well known international standard.

Please answer me is it okay to use it on our hand not our feet?

1 table spoon to a bottle of water? What would be helpful would be to define the volume of water to begin with, give people a ratio to work with.

Good information, thank you!

Thank you for this helpful video :) Can sea salt be used, in place of epsom salt? Cheers ^_^

Also great for shake-n-bake but that’s more of a health risk

i Dr. Kim. I have Edema and flooded feet. warm foot bath has been recommended. I did find it helps the edena mush, is there something I can do to attack the edema problem? I was using too hot water after listening to you.

Magnesium Chloride would be better. Helps the whole body

1/2 cup per that much of water. Got it.

Can you say exactly in grams - how much epson salt needed for right foot baths. E.g. 100 grams of Epson Salt for 500 grams of water ?

being treated for osteomylitis with vencomycin.....is there a natural way...PLEASE ?

My Naruropath told me to soak in Epsom Salts to help wirh calcium absorption.

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

I'm not clear on the dilution. If it's one tablespoon per one bottle of water, how big is the water bottle? 16 oz? 20 oz? 32 oz?

Recently had a toenail removed. Supposed to soak 15 minutes 2/day. Lukewarm water. Add epsom salt, 1 tbsp per gallon of water. Is that enough salt?

How much per gallon

Excess magnesium is the blood of a diabetic that can often have kidney damage could be serious! More dilute epsom salts would be prefered over concentrated soaks!

What size bottle? Can you give a measurement.

What grade of epsom salt can i use for epsom salt bath?

Yeah right you said a better way, but overlooked to say how much is in a bottle of water...??? I have many and varied sizes in bottles of water. Why not say soaking affictionardos can soak with other things including moisturisers on other days? I use soaking for my gout, but never just my feet, more important are my hands, I do my whole body, never closer than once a week. And never do strenuous activity for the rest of the day.

... a bottle of water is not a measurement since they come in several sizes. a basin of water is not a measurement either for the same reason. If epsom to water proportions is important than so should those measurements, no? Why not use cups of epsom per gallon of water as a measurement?

Mixing baking soda with Epson salts , plus detol. Tea spoon , tumeric Make sure you wash feet off after you finish very important Watch the colour of the Epson salt change

So.....1 bottle of water is what? 8oz? 1TB to 8oz??
