TREAT INSOMNIA & SWELLING WITH A TABLE-SALT BATH

I have used Epsom Salts for almost all post-athletic activity baths.  Not any more.  Basic table salt does the trick.  It is fantastic.  A friend explained that the salt removes fluids from interstitial areas (area between the cells) and keep the electrolytes in tact within your cells.  Good to know.  Haven't verified that yet, but good to know.  Table salt is the best.  If you suffer from insomnia, take a table salts bath at night.  If you suffer from bloating or swelling, take a table salts bath.  You'll wake up feeling thinner with your muscles and organs more cohesive.  You will enjoy a table salts bath.  Now, if you have a specific condition, I cannot comment on that. 

Over the years the magnesium sulfate salts have relaxed my muscles.  But there is one aspect of the Epsom Salts that I don't like.  It leaves me feeling dehydrated or a little dry.  Just slightly.  And it's only on the surface of my skin.  A friend suggested that I add baking soda to the Epsom Salts bath.  So I did.  The result was that it left my skin soft.  But soft skin is really not my problem.  If I had a case of eczema that would be different.
