Can we use this bathsalt if we dont have a bath tub? and should we use soap before /after or along with it?
I love your blog…i would like to know how we can include this bath salt in bucket bath…im in hostel but i would like to try it out…
Hi, You can't use this for bucket bath, as it works best when you soak your body in it. But you can use it as foot soak. You don't have to use soap after using these salts, just take a quick shower without soap, pat dry and moisturize……..
Thank you…i will try foot soak then..
How much do you use?
A handful of bath salts for a bath should suffice…..
Where does one get Epsom Salt from? What is Epsom salt called in India. Please do help! I'm keen to try as I believe the Magnesium helps with chronic muscle & joint pains also.
Hi, Epsom salt is sold under the same name in India. I saw Epsom salt in the departmental store in the section where they have medicines in our local town, few days back. I am sure you will get it in every departmental store, if not try medical stores….
