do epsom salts work?

I use ice packs, compression, asprin, light stretching, message, heatpad or gel and Epsom salt soaks all in combination when injured or really sore.
 
And drink lots of water! It's that lactic acid from overusing your muscles that you need to flush out.

No vino for you!
 
A splash of bleach in a tub of water won't kill anyone, I think that's supposed to be good for jungle rot.

I was referencing her worrying chemical concoction of everything she added in the post, not just the bleach. I was also just joking.

I wonder if Pete's pubes would bleach out from his bath.

i guess i'll give it a try.

and since i studied at Wat's school of health and wellness, stretching is still not gonna happen.

but i have made excellent progress on my water intake - at work last week i drank 4 bottles of water.
(well, to he honest one of them was a can of flat tire ale)
 
i'm hearing conflicting reports.

from playing soccer every week, i have some lingering soreness pretty much all over my body. i hear that a hot bath with epsom salts will help, but some have told me it don't do nuthin.

what say you?

2 cups in a warm bath every night. helps with pain, helps sleeping.

you can also use a mag oil on your skin to help with things like pain and other issues.

4 bottles in one week, aren't you dehydrated?
 
Some of our local sports people swear that Radox Bath Salts work for them.

They are slightly more sophisticated (and more expensive) than Epsom Salts.

"Rad-ox" what is in them? Yellow-cake uranium??

As far as I remember, and I could be wrong, the original brand Radox did use a tiny amount of radium, long before atomic energy. It was supposed to be 'energising'!

From history of British Brands:

Radox – over 100 years’ experience in herbs and mineral combinations
Over the years Radox has created its bath and shower products to improve the way the consumer feels, designed to ease aches and pains, relax and de-stress, and to pamper or prepare for sleep. By 1957, the original core product, Radox Salts, was already known as a relaxing bath to be enjoyed after sport, gardening or other physical activities. In 1969, Liquid Radox was launched as an easier and more effective format to use in the bath and in 1975, with the increasing use of showers, Radox Shower was launched in its distinctive hooked pack. With its expertise in herbs and minerals, Radox was the first to develop the “proven-to-relax” formulations found in Radox Herbal Bath (2004). These days, one in four baths in the UK is a ‘Radox Bath’.
