I recently purchased some magnesium cream from a compounding pharmacy in Canada. I found out that it contains magnesium choride hexahydrate… possibly also available at pet stores for fish tanks. Epsom salts are magnesium sulfate – not the same which is why the effect doesn’t last. This cream does an internal cleanse for 3 days – but now I just feel a deep inner stillness… like after having a soothing, long jacuzzi.

If you want to keep depleting your magnesium levels AND give a nice cozy home to worms, keep drinking alcohol.

lol, this has nothing to do with taking magnesium orally.. albeit magnesium will only cause loose stools if youre body doesnt utilize it, much like vitamin C.

Just wanted to point this out, if you weren’t aware. Taking magnesium orally will cause loose stools or increased bowel movements. And taking calcium orally binds you up, causing less frequent bowel movements.

I plan to soak morning and night when I get home, I figure the more the better. I’ll post some links to more information when I get home.

I’m doing it before bed since it’s relaxing and I was having insomnia. Magnesium sulfate should work. I’m in LA, driving on the freeway, visiting relatives, and sleeping with my family in a hotel, so I have to say the anxiety has come back a little, but I also forgot a tub, so am making do with a trash bag in the sink; I’m not experiencing constant anxiety like a few weeks ago, and I’m basically in a pretty stressful environment, so I’d say I’m doing pretty good considering. I took Ambien a couple of nights, but fell asleep without it last night, so…so far so good. No miracles, but as I’m still cramping and twitching, I believe I’ve got a long way to go to build up my magnesium, and who knows what other minerals are desperately behind, including iron and whatever I lost with the blood from the miscarriage and just going poop 3-20 X a day for 3 years straight.

Let me know if you get any relief.

Hi again, a few more questions as I’m eager to try this. Do you think it’s more effective to do the foot bath in the morning or before bed, just based on your experience? Also, is using magnesium sulfate okay?, I cant get a hold of anything else.

Still feeling good from the baths? I’m going to start trying them tomorrow night.

I’ve been soaking in epsom salts to no avail; I think the higher volume of water requires a much higher dose for efficacy. For example, I was usually putting about a cup in a very full bath. Now I put a cup in one cup of hot water and soak my feet in that. If you rub the concentrated solution on your skin, it stings. So I think it’s just a matter of dose and saturation. I’m sure if I put 10 cups in the bath, it would work wonderfully. But I can’t afford that.

This is really interesting. Why not just take a normal, full body bath with magnesium sulfate though, is there some benefit for a higher concentrate foot bath?
