I didn’t know you could use Epsom salts like that, it honestly never occurred to me. Does it work well? I’ve always just dissolved it in a bath.

Apparently using them like that can also help to remove a splinter. It didn’t work for me, but that’s probably because the “splinter” turned out to be a small stick requiring surgical intervention. But the whole osmotic pressure thing is supposed to work on normal splinters.

It’s magnesium sulfate, mangnoplam splinter gel is pretty much Epsom and a carrier like solugel or Sorbonne.

It creates some osmotic pressure to pull edema. It’s a bit of an old timey solution. Whenever I recommend it to clients I was sure to inform them that the science was weak.
