epsom salt



how on earth has it taken me 33 years to know about an epsom salt bath?
my sisters tease me relentlessly about being so savvy in regards to "products" - - - but i swear i never have known about this perfect miracle bath.
if you know me or read this blog, you know that i'm not too shy, so i'm not embarrassed to tell you that i had the 2nd most horrible hemorrhoid for the past week that about put me out of business.
matt's aunt suggested really hot baths. my brother suggested epsom salt with that.
he gave me a big jar of it that he and laura had stuck the last of their herbs in last fall.
i have done the bath atleast twice a day since last saturday. all i can say is: wow. it is amazing.
not just for my issue.... but i reallllly can tell a difference in my muscles and overall well being. i really mean this.

i might be the last to know about this one - - but just in case you haven't tried it, do so immediately. i don't do much of anything conservatively, and same goes for this new ritual. thank goodness a 4lb bag is only $2 or something crazy cheap like that.

I am with you on the Epsom Salt!! I get small jars of it at WalMart in the bath section. Each has wonderful scents!! A double bonus!
Thanks for the prayers!!
