Epsom salts?

[skedaddle]

Anyone use Epsom salts in a bath for recovery? Or can suggest any soaks that you can benefit from post run?
I tried Epsom salts last night and must say I do feel better this morning.

I occasionally do an Epsom Salt foot soak when I've done big miles. I do the one with the rosemary and mint in it, and I have to admit I feel better after. Of course, it could be all in my head too.

Well I logged in to ask a question and saw your post so I will put what I've heard about these. Stephanie Seneff has a lot of good things to say about epsom salt baths which has nothing to do with running but about nutrition. She says a lot of people are deficient in sulfate (which epsom salts have). She is an MIT researcher, you can search her name on the podcast channels.

I've used it too with really good results.

How many cups do you put? I usually put two cups.
