Foot Baths

Foot baths are a convenient substitute for full body baths. Use the same directions you would use for a whole body soak...put 1 to 3 cups of magnesium flakes (or magnesium oil) in a foot bath. The water temperature should be at about 108 degrees Fahrenheit and deep enough to submerge the feet to the bottom of the ankle bone. Because the skin on our feet is a little thicker, it is suggested that you soak for at least 30 minutes and a little longer if possible. This is an excellent and convenient way to increase your magnesium levels and you can do it while you watch TV or read. It is known that our feet have many reflexology points and meridian points that impact the whole body and we can very easily take in magnesium transdermally this way.

The most effective protocol for this therapy is to begin with a foot bath every day for 7 days, starting at lighter concentration of one cup of magnesium flakes, building up to 2 cups. After the first 7 days, you may then continue with a maintenance program of 2-3 times per week for 6-8 weeks or even longer.

There are about 13 to 16 grams of elemental magnesium in each cup of magnesium chloride flakes depending on the source, but no one knows how much elemental magnesium actually gets absorbed during a soaking treatment. However, Dr. Norm Shealy has done studies that demonstrate rapidly rising magnesium levels in the body as a result of soaking regimens.
