    Epsom Salt baths to clear water retention

    I had never heard of this until I read something online the other day. Apparently a bath with two cups of Epsom Salt in (it's not actually salt at all, it's magnesium sulphate) will pull a load of toxins and fluid out of your skin via reverse osmosis.

    Having read a lot on here about how you must drink lots of water to clear the fat cells out of the water they fill with after your body burns the fat I thought hmmmm. I know I don't drink enough water and I had a feeling I was holding onto a bit of fluid.

    Sooooo.... had a bath the other night and weighed myself before and after..... THREE POUNDS LESS!!!!!!!!! I couldnt believe it!

    I'm going to do this twice a week from now on coupled with some body brushing to help the process along.

    Delighted with this discovery!
    Lost 4 stone in 4 months on Exante in 2010/11 following the birth of my son. Successfully maintained until I got pregnant again in Jan 2012. Had my daughter in Sept 2012 and have 3.5 stone to lose... here we go again!

    Wk 14: 16/03/13 = 10st     (-5lbs)
    Wk 15: 23/03/13 = 9st11lbs     (-3lbs)

    Maybe you dont have much water retention? DO you drink a lot of fluid anyway?

    If this works why isn't everyone sitting in a bath of epsom salts?

    It obviously doesnt get rid of rat, just water retentions and it definitely works for me!
