Re: I missed something - what's Epson salts for?

The magnesium in the epsom salt has a calming effect.

[ ] I missed something - what's Epson salts for?

I can't for the life of me think of why an Epson salts bath would be good

for our kids. The baking soda makes sense but I must have missed the whole

Epson salts thing...someone PLEASE clue me in on this fascinating

information!

Hi -- did you email me this morning for the info? If so, I just

sent it off. Epsom salt baths have been in use with autistic

children, sensory children, and adhd children to help supply the body

with magnesium, and sulfate. The document has a lengthy explanation

about why sulfate is needed by the body. These baths are especially

useful for kids who have food sensitivities-- kids who react to

phenolic foods such as apples or foods with artificial food

coloring/flavorings.

Krista, I will send a copy through to post and the moderator can

approve it if they want to-- it's very long and they may not want to

put it through for that reason alone! It's about four pages typed. I

will send you a copy by email. If anyone else wants a copy, email me

maryandphilip@...
