Eases stress and relaxes body
Stress drains the body of magnesium and Epsom Salt is considered to be a natural stress reliever. When dissolved in warm water Magnesium Sulfate is absorbed through the skin and replenishes the level of magnesium in the body. The salt draws toxins from the body, sedates the nervous system, reduces swelling and relaxes muscles. The magnesium helps to produce serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of calm and relaxation. Research shows that magnesium also increases energy and stamina by encouraging the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy packets made in the cells. Experts believe that bathing with Epsom Salt at least three times a week helps to look better, feel better and gain more energy.Magnesium ions also relax and reduce irritability by lowering the affects of adrenaline. It lowers blood pressure, creates a relaxed feeling, improves sleep, concentration, and helps muscles and nerves to function properly.

Is it safe to use Preparation H on your face for wrinkles?  I have been told that it is a good, cheap alternative to the more expensive cosmetic company products.  Anybody else hear this?

[Rockerforlife]

Does this mean i can now use lip stick and eyeliner on my you know what?

[jdwithhcv]

Sure, if that makes you happy.

...and let's not forget all the different ways that magnesium sulfate can be used to prep patients for colonoscopy. Some of which can be safely and effectively combined with the use of Preparation H.

Epsom Salt is also believed to help prevent heart disease and strokes by lowering blood pressure, protecting the elasticity of arteries, preventing blood clots and reducing the risk of sudden heart attack deaths.

Sulfates also stimulate the pancreas to generate digestive enzymes and are believed to help detoxify the body's residue of medicines and environmental contaminants.

Thanks for the information.........................think I'll go soak in the bathtub, I'm really stiff and sore today after doing too much housework.  Hope it works:-)

I use epsom salts to soak one of my horses feet when she has an abcess (abscess).  It brings that bad boy to the surface till it explodes with gross yellow/green infection.  I think it is genetic in her case

Be careful if you are on meds as it known to draw toxins out of the body and into the feet

U.S. hospitals and long-term care facilities annually flush millions of pounds of unused pharmaceuticals down the drain, pumping contaminants into America's drinking water, according to an ongoing Associated Press investigation.

No, I dont think preperation H is good for the skin on your face.  and.... I do believe its a misnomer about its efficacy with hemers,
The best thing for the skin on your face is L-Ascorbic Acid in a liposomal delivery system without a a water base,  retinaldehyde in a liposomal delivery stystem  and of course a non chemical sunscreen.  
Hemers are actually reabsorbed by the body within 10 days unless there is a blood clot or many blood clots, so when you use the prep H and you get some results within the 10 days, you think its the Prep H, but its really your body doing its thing.  Dont ask how I know this.

I regularly scrub myself, including my face with epsom salts in the shower. I also use it on my scalp and in my hair. I let is soak in for a while. I put about 2 cups to soak in the bath, or  1/2 cup for foot soaks. I also add some essential oils and a nice liquid bath soap to the bath.

Epsom salts leave your skin and hair super soft. They also draws out toxins, so one more benefit.

I love that stuff. Lots of celebrities and models have a big bucket in their bathrooms... they swear by it too.

So it is good for both aspects of health and beauty...

How does the epson salt know the difference between bad toxins and good minerals?

[Rockerforlife]

Bill,im afraid if i try to explain your brain my not be able to comprend..LOL...im kidding..but to be honest, it to with the electricial charges in every living body on earth,the potassium sulfate(epson) absorbs into the body and make the body less acidic(negative charge,alkiline)  and balances the PH to higher level and this makes the cell walls in the body more efficient and they release toxic (acidic,postive charge) from the cells and actually makes it easy for the nutrients to get into the cells...most body cells today are and our bodys are positively charged and acidic...the epson salts make the body(cell walls) more neg charged ,therefore attractting out the toxins with are postive charged...

can you comprend?...

While there are many cells in our body that perform different functions and have different internal structures they all have some basic function similarities. All our cells need water to survive and work and they all have 3 basic components (excluding red blood cells that eject their nucleus). These components are the Nucleus, the Internal Structure and the Plasma Membrane. Each of these components when combined performs specific functions. Even though they may perform different specific functions they all intake water, metabolize it and eject a waste product called nucleic acid. This waste product is then dealt with by the body's main cleaning systems; being the liver and the kidneys. This flow through system is very important and when something goes wrong; like the cell becoming clogged with toxins, problems begin to occur.

When the cell is functioning correctly it has a good flow of liquid (water) going through it. The liquid has two ways to enter and leave the cell structure. The outer membrane or plasma membrane is a selectively permeable barrier, meaning that it allows some substances to pass while excluding others.

When a substance can penetrate the plasma membrane without any energy input from the cell, it is called passive transport. When the cell must provide metabolic energy, the process is called active transport. The movement of water into the cell is an example of passive transport while movement of amino acids and most ions across the membrane is active transport.

The Plasma Membrane
The plasma membrane as well as being selectively permeable has another very important function. It maintains a potential voltage difference between the internal structure of the cell and the intercellular fluid. Scientists are just now starting to realize the importance of the voltage that exists on the membrane itself. Its electrical value plays a part in helping the membrane be selectively permeable. If this voltage drops too low it contributes to loss of cell integrity. What is important here is that it has been scientifically proven that an unhealthy cell has a very poor membrane voltage.

There are a lot of things that can start to go wrong when we exert an outside influence on the cell, such as a toxin. Our bodies are more than capable of withstanding low levels of toxins but when these levels rise too high, a chain of events start to take place and the integrity of the cell is compromised. The integrity of the cell can be affected from both the outside or the inside and the toxins that cause the problem do not need to come from an external source, because the cell itself produces a waste product that could be considered as a toxin.

As we have already said the body has a natural defense mechanism for removing toxins from the system. In the average individual, these systems are functioning correctly but under load the system can break down and result in a toxin build up. For most people the threat of toxin build up is not only from having the cleaning system not operating correctly, but from the type of toxins we are now exposed too. Some toxins do not remain in the intercellular fluid and become attached to the cell membrane, and if the body is operating below 100% problems can occur.

Aren't you finished with treatment now? I thought your PCR was on the 23rd - who cares about epson salts after treatment seriously?

In regard to the sulphates good - now we  can drinking all the we wine would like again!

How to use Epsom Salts
While it is safe to ingest Epsom Salts, this is not the most effective way to absorb the magnesium and sulfates. When ingested, the presence of medical drugs and stomach acid can work to decrease the effectiveness of ingested Epsom Salts. Studies have shown that the most effective way to absorb the magnesium and sulfate is through the skin:

•Epsom Salts Bath – one to two cups per bath, and soak for 30 minutes
•Epsom Salts Spray – spray a mixture of Epsom Salt and water onto the skin: one part salts to one part water
•Epsom Salts Footbath – one part salt to two parts water, and soak for 30 minutes
•Epsom Salts Cream – available over-the-counter
Epsom Salts can be found at any local drug or grocery store, and no prescription is required.

Sulfites and sulfates are a different animal

Epsom salt also delivers sulfates, which are extremely difficult to get through food but which readily absorb through the skin. Medical research indicates sulfates are needed for the formation of brain tissue, joint proteins and the mucin proteins that line the walls of the digestive tract. Sulfates also stimulate the pancreas to generate digestive enzymes and help to detoxify the body's residue of medicines and environmental contaminants.
◦Sulfates are important for forming brain tissue, joint proteins, stimulates the pancreas, and mucin proteins.

Is it safe to use Preparation H on your face for wrinkles?

Well, you're looking pretty good. I'd say keep it up and let the future take care of itself.

Lots of celebrities and models have a big bucket in their bathrooms...

With what they earn you'd think they could afford a toilet!!

[Marcia2202]

LOL... I LOVE your humor. You always catch the subtleties.

Good to read you!

[comeagain]

I drank it in the begining of a fast I made many years ago, tasted real awful.

thx for the info on using in the bath, I still have some left.

Enough for a footbath at least !!
