Can a few drops of this aid be used in a bath with epsom salt? If so, how much should be used?

I have not used it that way but I am sure you can. I bought it for my daughter who has carpal tunnel in both wrist. She said its the only thing that helps here. I use it for my back after 4 spine surgeries and a fusion this is my relief from the pain. My whole family now uses it for all pain. The roll on is so easy to use also. Love this stuff never go anywhere with put it with me

I'm not sure. I use it for my diffuser, but I'm sure you can use it in the bath. With Epsom salts? I haven't the foggiest.

I have never used it like that but have mixed it in with coconut oil to make a lotion and it works well with that...I would be cautious if using it in a bath due to "areas" that could be sensitive to the oils....

Salts are ok. Oil can make a messy emulsion but I sometimes put up to 10 DROPS of tea tree oil, not enough do mess up the solution but a small amount is a good fundicide for the tub (and I love the smell).

I use it wet or damp. Dry might work, but, in general, you are supposed to use pumice stones while in the shower/tub, or right after.

A lot! I've read some on it & one source suggested using 2 quarts of coffee, regular brew that has been cooled to warm. I haven't done much more research but if I were you I'd find some sources. I know there are other things you can put in the water like Epsom salts & other herbs. Just find what works for you.

I use epsom salt with mine Vitamin C disks. I haven't noticed any problems & don't expect to. It's just a vitamin so there shouldn't be any reason not to add essential oils or salts to the bath.

I haven't used either bath salts or soap, but I from the way it bubbles, I wouldn't recommend soap to avoid what another response said as "a scene out of a comedy" I believe the bath salts would be fine.

Yes!!! I keep it in a spray bottle in the shower. I also use it instead of salt when I make things like jambalaya or stir fry. :)

I use about 1 cup. It is best combined w/2 c. Epsom salts for detoxification and/or pain relief. Hope this helps!

The old instructions said to use a capful which I think would be about 2-3 tablespoons. I just sprinkle about the amount I think is right. And of course, if you have a larger tub you would want to use more.

You're not supposed to use bath salts with this item. As far as I can tell, you're not supposed to with any of the small home foot baths like this. Sorry :(

The directions say not to add anything to the water; addiyives may clog orifices where water bubbles come from. However, I have used white vinegar, peroxide, well dissolved epsom salts--not at same time--and works fine. I think anything that may build up residue as oils or gels might clog openings. I still love this footbath over the other two I had previously purchased.

I only use a few drops in about a quart of warm water and use the whole quart to rinse and massage Dr. B's into my hair. Any more than just a few drops of the product weighs down my hair unpleasantly.

My doctor advised me to put 2 to 3 cups of Epsom salt in a standard size bathtub. I mix the Village Naturals epsom salts with plain epsom salts about 1 to 5 to help stretch the more expensive salts.

My 6 year old takes an Epson salt bath 3 to 4 times a week for 20 minutes. My son has ADHD and I treat him natural and using Epson salt soaks is one way I manage it. Kids with ADHD symptoms often have magnesium deficiency, as many adults do as well. Instead of taking a magnesium supplement, which can cause diarrhea and which also doesn't get absorbed into the body as well- he gets this soak. It has done wonders for his ADHD symptoms. It also helps him fall asleep faster, sleep better, and wake up more refreshed. I do the soaks now as well. If your child is 4 or older, I would say there should be no problem with giving them Epson salt baths and if you're worried about them splashing or drinking the water... then monitor them. If my 6 year old child with ADHD can chill out for a soak, it shouldn't be a problem for most kids. For a child younger than 4, I'm not sure why you would want to do Epson salt baths (unless they had chicken pox or something).

From what I understand, you don't absorb the magnesium in the epsom salt as well as the magnesium flakes. - You could research as I did & could get a better explanation.

I've used Epsom salts & they work great. Be really easy on the soap or it'll overflow, but yes you can use soap.

Epsom salts are fine, but just use a small amount. Plain water is also fine.
