Is it safe to soak your feet in Epsom salt?

Asked 5 years ago

Are there any negative effects that could come from soaking my feet in Epsom salt water? It seems quite harmless, but I want to be sure before I do.

Generally, it is safe to soak your feet in Epsom salt. However, you should do this with caution; if you have diabetes, an open sore on your feet, or dry skin, etc. In those instances, you should talk to a healthcare provider before proceeding with the footbath.
