Epsom Salt Weight Loss Bath?
Hey Guys PLEASE help. So I just bought Dr. Teal's: Epsom Salt Soaking Solution ( Soothe & Sleep with Lavender ) I was wondering, If I took a bath with 1 cup of it for around 20-30 mins. Will I lose weight immediately, like in the bath? If so how much weight will I lose? Its really important! Please do not criticize.
Epsom salts for weight loss?
When I was in highschool one of the wrestlers died by cutting weight with salt. This wrestler filled the bathtub with warm water and alot of salt. He sat in the tub drawing the water out of he body. He lost something like 10 pounds in just water. Then next day while wrestling he collapsed and was rushed to the hospital where he died of sevire dehidration. If that is what you have in mind, dont do it. Loosing weight like that is only temporary as it is all water weight anyway. You should get your diet and excersize in order.

Can you gain weight by soaking in a bath?
I would say "no," and here's why: Other sites say baths can lead to weight loss: "Soak in an extremely hot bath for 30 minutes. The bath water will cause the excess water from your tissues to seep out. The heat will increase your sweating and water evaporation from your lungs," leading to weight loss" (http://weightloss.about.com/c/ht/00/07/Lose_1_5_Pounds0962933783.htm ). And from another site, the idea that hot baths can lead to weight loss: "Dr. Hyman believes that by taking a 20-minute hot bath before bed - and adding Epsom salts, baking soda and lavender oil to the water - you will lower stress hormone levels. He claims that by lowering your stress hormones, you can detox your body, boost your metabolism, and potentially lose weight. Wow, all this just from taking a hot bath!" (http://www.thismamacooks.com/2008/06/take-a-hot-bath.html ). So here's what I suggest: Maybe you're being misled by a faulty cause and effect fallacy. Maybe there's some other reason you're taking a bath on those nights that is linked to the weight gain. Are you more likely to take baths during times of PMS (bloating, weight gain)? Do you take a bath during times when you're feeling stressed (stress hormones, lower metabolism)? Or, do you get out of the tub and snack on a big bowl of ice cream? I suspect something other than the warm tub is raising the weight, if there truly is a pattern of weight gain after bathing. PS: One other thing comes to mind; in the hot summer heat my fingers swell. I wonder if heat, whether in the air or in the tub, can cause some people to swell up? Nothing online suggested that, but it seems worth consideration. Good luck in your search! :)
Rubbing alcohol and Epsom salt bath?
Bodybuilders and fighters have used this technique for years. It helps take the subcutaneous water off your body thus leaving your muscles still full and not flat. It works by making the salt content in the water higher than that of your body. When this happens it creates a reverse effect of your body giving up water rather than taking on moisture out of the air and other elements. I have seen the formula if thats what you want to call it. It calls for 1 gallon of epsom salts and 5-8 bottles of rubbing alcohol. You apply the alcohol to your skin by rubbing it on and the get the water as hot as you can stand it and dissolve the salts in it then you lay in it for about 45 minutes. I guess you could compare it to swimming in a warm ocean. When you get out of the ocean you skin is tight cause the salt content is higher in the water and makes your body expell the subcutaneous water in your body and untill your skin absaorbs the moisture out of the air by way of humidity then it will remain tight. Rubbing alcohol and epsom salts have been used as cleansers for eternity so it won't hurt you but you will start sweating....it also helps clear up acne on the body by exspelling toxins from your pores. Good luck hope this helps!
Epsom salt to lower blood pressure ?
hi there, http://www.epsomsaltcouncil.org/beauty_w... this is a link to what you might be looking for. If your grandmother has blood pressure that is extremely high like you say, this isn't going to work. I don't see any clinical trials or studies about people they did tests on to see if it lowered pressure or not so I wouldn't believe everything you hear or read, they are probably trying to sell the epsom salts. That's not to say it might help your grandmother feel better to use it in a bath but she needs to see the dr and take medication, revamp her diet to cut out sodium, drink lots of water, light exercise such as yoga or walking, deep breathing, and avoid stress.
Does soaking in a hot bath help you lose water weight?
Yes. In many sports, such as wrestling, the athletes need to cut weight quickly. Water weight is one way of doing it very quickly. The body sweats, losing water weight whenever an uncomfortable temperature is reached. The skin can absorb moisture as well to rehydrate. This rehydration does not take place under hot water as the body is purging extra moisture to disapate heat and will not re-absorb significant amounts of water. I used to alternate between hot tub and pool when I was working on body recomposition while training for soccer. It worked quite well. Keep in mind that cold exposure following water weight loss will trigger the body into absorbing water through the skin again. Don't take a cold shower or bath after a hot soak if your goal is to cut water weight. Another benefit of extreme heat exposure is increased stamina. The blood vessels are forced to expand to help regulate body temperature, and in response over time, the body will increase total blood volume in the body. This adds a little bit of weight, but increases the capacity of the body to carry oxygen and nutrients as more blood is available to do so. I've heard reports of increases in stamina of up to 30% simply from heat exposure training. I did no real physical training for soccer, but still had some of the best stamina on the team. Short answer, test you can cut water weight through hot baths, as long as you're still sweating and don't allow yourself to be drenched in cool water. Drinking water will rehydrate you as well. It's temporary. Good luck.
