Sources for epsom salts and safe washes

[Guest guest]

Hi Reen,

I hope to help by giving you some cost cutting ideas. I've gotten my epsom salts

from the dollar store ever since I saw it at the pharmacy for nearly $8. If you

are trying to avoid taking a shower with chlorinated tap water, try this. Fill a

5 gallon bucket with just hot tap water. You'll notice there is less chlorine

smell in it. Take a margerine or cottage cheese container and pour the water

over yourself to get wet. Soap up the 'dirty spots'. Rub your body, arms and

legs with a soft natural fiber brush and rinse. This is the way they wash in

eastern countries. I find Bee's baking soda water and paste great to wash my

hair with. Maybe it would be good to wash the body too. Use 2 teaspoons of

baking soda mixed with hot water to make a paste. Rub it on your 'dirty spots'

then rinse. Lemon juice and vinegar are good for hair rinses and for under the

arms for odor. The Vinegar may be left in your hair or rinsed off as you like

it. Do not leave lemon juice on your skin if your going out in the sunshine.

Rinse off after using.

nuts and stuff because of lack of money, so I'm really wondering if there's a

certain point you can be okay with to live a healthy life and eliminate much as

" possible, " but not worrying about it so much to be in a somewhat toxic

environment or use of toxic substances, such as plastic.
