I have tried a few Epsom salt products which help in muscle recovery, but after a friend's recommendation, I have found my favorite - Elemnt Sports Science Epsom salt is now my go-to for relaxing and easing muscle pain
As a Reflexologist, this video was very helpful. I suggest espom salt soaks for tired feet to my clients. I will pass this information to all my clients.
I really appreciate you explaining the finer points of using Epsom Salts for the healthful reasons you duscuss in this video. You have an incredibly calm voice and it is relaxing . Thank you again sir.
The basin you can get for Walmart (Homedics) is around a gallon up to the maximum line. I have that cheap Homedics basin and my formula is 1 cup of Epsom salt and 30 drops of tea tree oil. I used this basin and formula to cure a case of pitted keratolysis that I had for the prior 10 years, which was highly stanky. You can do foot baths for softness for beauty, whatever, I'm doing it for cleanliness. If you have stinky feet, you need to foot bathe!
Most people I know use Epsom salts to soak our horse's feet when any foot is warm to touch and shows bruising. More than likely there's an abscess brewing and the Epsom salts helps to draw out infections.
This information is very helpful with the exception of the amount of water. You said a bottle, what size? Moving your hands in a circle is not a measurement.
thanks dr. kim! i guess my thought process was: just concentrate it as much as possible, make it steaming hot and pray for results lol. glad i came here
One bottle of water as a measurement? What size bottle? 8oz? 12oz?, 16oz? (Maybe using a measuring cup would be a better way. Like 1 tablespoon of Epson Salt to 1 or 1.5 cups as an example.)
Like a hot tube, set to 100 degrees F, when turn turned up to 102 degrees F, it feels extra hot and uncomfortable. Remember, 98.6 degrees F is normal body temp and high temperatures will always flow from an area of high energy to areas of low temperature. So, it heats the feet & body first for a long time, as the water is a good conductor and cools to the air around it, even if A/C or Heat is set to 78-68 degrees F. It enters the feet first, opens the blood vessels that allows warmer than normal blood to flow up into the torso. It cools the the air around it but that takes time depending on the temp, volume and external air temp contact on how fast it cools. 100 degrees F is best overall contact. As it cools over ten - 15 minutes, it begins to feel to cold. That is your sign it is time to stop. Don't forget to start without a towel to step on. Tile is slick when wet, so avoid accidents. Use a nylon scuff pad to clean heels and feet from dead skin cells. You shed 100,000 cells per hour. This is how blood hounds track people even in a slight breeze. Otherwise they are funneled down onto our feet and gather. This is the loose crusty stuff found on you feet. A gentle rubbing will get rid of them. DK, ASE master tech since 78, retired.
Have you had any issues using the hot water? Then don't worry. Continue as you always did. This guy has too many rules. We've used it for decades with great results. Stay happy
So one question Dr Kim....after soaking and towel drying the feet, is it good or beneficial rubbing the feet with petroleum jelly and putting on socks overnight to enhance softbess for your feet? Please advise and ty.
Great video Dr Kim. New sub from Australia. Got your video recommended when I was watching "DC FOOT DOCTOR" KEVIN. BOTH great Drs. Thank you for your valuable advice 🙏🏻
i appreciate the info, however i think its good to include that these water massagers on the market are not like the ones at the store, the epsom salts will usually mess them up
Warning: As a Type 2 with restricted circulation in your feet (?) and any open cuts or bruises. Oils will kill connective tissue and this can lead to infection, dry gangrene, gangrene and amputations.
Could you elaborate more about the one tablespoon in one bottle of water explain more about the bottle of water please.If possible make a video on how to mix the Epsom salt in the basin with the steps you have given us please
We had a spa for years. I loved my temp at 118. My husband hated it. But I am always FREEZING, so that heat felt so good. I guess I was cooking myself. 😞
I went out with a friend, who told me that my arms was swollen at first I thought it was fat, but as time went on I realized that the swollen face wasnt the only symptoms I saw. The ankles feet and legs got swollen. But with the help of Dr Iyhere everyth
This was perfect, I think I was having more dryness and swelling in my body from taking salt baths and dumping a lot in 😅 could’ve been other things though
I doubt that you can get too much Epsom salts in a foot bath or bath tub. Simply because when you float in sensory deprivation tank there is approx 1/2 ton of Epsom salts dissolved in the tub. So much that you can’t sink. Like the Dead Sea salty. My skin is always silky smooth after N hour soak in such a tub. The temperature is just warm enough to maintain body temperature.
Excess magnesium is the blood of a diabetic that can often have kidney damage could be serious! More dilute epsom salts would be prefered over concentrated soaks!
How does one become a Holistic Podiatrist, I would like more information on this. I am aware of the steps to podiatry, but is there a pathway to Holistic Podiatry or is it a combination of Disciplines?
Thank you for your There are so many claims without scientist proof. Do you know adding baking powder. The difference between baking soda and baking powder.
Mixing baking soda with Epson salts , plus detol. Tea spoon , tumeric Make sure you wash feet off after you finish very important Watch the colour of the Epson salt change

I use food grade for taking as a laxative and epsom salt for bathing or soaking your feet in , any Walmart should carry it . Food grade can get from most health stores, just ask for it .
Great video and it seems the half cup of Epsom salt measurement / basin is almost as accurate as the amount of Epsom salt per water bottle unit of measurement because that unit of measurement is a well known international standard.
LOL!! That's what I was thinking! How much water is "this much" when he uses his hands? How big is that basin? How much water is needed to reach ankle height? I don't believe ALL "basins" are exactly the same. And for the tablespoon to bottle ratio, how big is that bottle of water? 4 oz? 8 oz? 16 oz? SMH 😞
Most bottle waters are 16.9 Use ur common sense on basin sizes dayum y’all people are to harsh. He’s trying to help give tips Don’t like it Don’t watch then. Geez Louise ! SMH 🤦🏻♀️

What if my grandpa has one leg and a blood soar is forming on the tip of his big toe how can i make him better sp it doent spread like his other leg did that he lossed?
So, ASSUMING the average bottle of water is 16oz(2cups) and you only need to go up to the top of ankle. 1 Tablespoon salt to 2 cups of water, till covering foot. Right?
I have never bought water in a bottle. We get ours from a well.. Just experiment and you will fill figure it out. All feet are different sizes so amounts will be different. Common sense.
Who soaks one foot he’s talking about both feet regular basin but one that will fit both feet in it fill til ankle drinking Water bottles 16.9 ounces Not mini not big ones. A regular bottle.
if I dont have a bath tub and use it while in the shower to breath the steam do I get the same effect? the steps to my epsom shower are: 1.)Put a handful of your favorite Epsom salt into a small dish. 2.)Moisten the salt with warm water. 3.)Place the dish in a relatively dry spot in your shower. 4.)Shower as normal!

One bottle of water as a measurement? What size bottle? 8oz? 12oz?, 16oz? (Maybe using a measuring cup would be a better way. Like 1 tablespoon of Epson Salt to 1 or 1.5 cups as an example.)
Put enough water to reach your ankles (different amount for different foot sizes and then add half a cup of the salts.
Yes, he was vague about the amount of water.
Exactly my question.
I’m assuming he meant a bottle of water that’s in a 24 pack which is 16.9 ounce
Might be 1/2 cup to one gallon. 1 gallon in a foot tub would m9st likely reach your ankles.
I hope you put more diabetic foot ulcer videos, I love those

EPSOM HAS MAGNESIUM
OK....1 tablespoon per bottle of water.....bottles come in LOTS of sizes! LOL What size bottle do you recommend?
What about tub soaks. What is the recommend amount?
2-3 cups from what I've heard
Could you please clarify the bottle size in which one tablespoon of Epsom salt should be added? Are you asking if it should be ½ litre or one litre?
That is my question toօ
Thank you doctor for this information
1 table spoon to a bottle of water? What would be helpful would be to define the volume of water to begin with, give people a ratio to work with.
yes... how much water ? small bottle...big bottle....
I’m guessing it means the standard bottle you get is 16 ounces when you buy bottles of water
Thank you so much Dr. God bless you with good health 😊 🙏
Thank you for education.

Excess magnesium is the blood of a diabetic that can often have kidney damage could be serious! More dilute epsom salts would be prefered over concentrated soaks!
So it’s good to soak more than 1-2x’s/wk if you’ve got an infection, but then if your diabetic it’s not good to soak an infection?
