Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 hello, does anyone here use Epson salts bath ? I need to higher the sulphate level of my son with autism, 7 , and would like to try to put magnesium sulphate in the bath. how much Espson salt do you use ? How often ? What % of magnesium sulfate ( Mg SO4 ) does the Epson salt contains ? ( I want to order pure magnesium sulfate directly in order to have it taken by French health insurance ) Thanks ... Stranieri http://autisme.astuces.site.voila.fr/ PS for info: free sulfate in serum/plasma = 0.6 nmol /mgP ( standard 1.8 to 10 ) total sulfate in serum/plasma = 344 nmol/mgP ( standard 1400 to 3000 ) ( but this is in international units !! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 I sent you some info on epsom salt baths privately just now. Start with a quarter cup. Can do them every day if you want to. If no negatives, then you can increase the amount of epsom salt baths. If you see negatives, then decrease the amount. I can't really answer your question about what to order-- here in the states it's just sold as " epsom salt " .

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 catherine, our autism specialist recommends starting out with 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup epson salt daily in the bath and working up to a cup of each as tolerated. sincerely, angie Stranieri <catherine.stranieri@...> wrote: hello, does anyone here use Epson salts bath ?

MgSO4 . 7H2O Active ingredient: magnesium sulfate USP (heptahydrafe) 100% Good luck in having that covered by your insurance, it is cheap here (less than $4 for 2kg) but can become expensive if you use big quantities daily..
