A member asked:
Compression fractures from osteoporosis and mild low blood magnesium level of 1.4 safe to take epsom salt soaks in the tub? muscles hurt really bad
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe: The heat of the bath could be more detrimental if you have a heart condition, so don't over do it. The salts are safe. Discuss magnesium replacement with your doctor. Wait until after your baths to use antihistamine if you are using it daily.
