Welcome to our forum.
I am 44 and haven't heard of that in nearly 30 years but I do remember that it was favored for soaking you feet back in the 70's
I would not even consider trying it. For one thing, it is magnesium sulfate, which I think is very basic, and would reak horrible havoc with your other chemistries, and effectiveness of sanitizer, and as said, your TDS would be HIGH. But even if that were not true, I have a box of the stuff under my sink, and it says to add 2 cups to a gallon of water. Multiply that out, and that is a sh!! load of epsom salt in a tub!!! And third, I cannot imagine why you'd want your whole body in it. It helps (a little) to reduce cellulitis and edema, but I hope you dont need that all over! Do people really put in in bath tubs?
Warning!!!! Chlorine or bromine and Magnesium sulfate dont make for positive mixture. Flash burns can result to the body.

Do people really put in in bath tubs?Epsom Salt is magnesium Sulfate. Magnesium is a powerful relaxant. Magneisum can work as good as muscle relaxers if taken in larghe enough quantities. So yes, people really do bath in it. Partouallry people with chromnic pains. If you are really tense one day, you should try it. But just pour about 1-2 cups into a hot bathtub and soak. It really has an amazing calming effect.
