Questions about using an epsom salt bath?

My muscles have been really sore and I have heard that epsom salt baths work great for that. I have a few questions:





1. What else can Epsom salt bath do besides relax muscles?


2. How many cups should I put in the bath because the salt container says 1 cup per gallon but how much does an average bathtub hold?


3. How long should I soak per day and is there any side affects for soaking every day?


4. I hear that I need to drink more water (this is fine because I drink lots of water) but is that true and how much?

Dont do it too often or for too long. It is magnesium and you CAN have too much.
