Epsom Salts

[Owlie]

Let's put it this way:
I'm pretty sure that the only thing that would be a problem if you soaked in it for more than ten minutes is that you might get a bit prune-y.

(Given that this same newsletter cites "Recent research conducted in Europe and the Soviet Union", I'm not inclined to grant whatever they say much weight.)

+1. Soak away. <Besides, it would be a waste of energy and water to fill a tub and use it for just 10 min.>

Epsom salts are great for a soak, AND when you're not using them to soak, put a tsp in a gallon of water when you water your houseplants. It works wonders! People always ask me my secret for keeping my plants so green and huge - epsom salts!

Extra magnesium is kinda useful for plants.

yes its great for house plants and outdoor plants as well.

If your veggie plants suffer blossom end rot, sprinkle handful of epsom salt around the plant on the ground. You may have to re do it in a month time or so. Cheaper than buying all purpose fertilizer.

As for soaking toxins reabsorbing or being pulled out bahh humbug!!
