Warm foot baths can decrease soreness, inflammation and swelling of the feet. Adding Epsom salt can further enhance the benefits of the warm bath. The warmth of the water relaxes the muscles and joints. Epsom salt when dissolved in water produces magnesium, which penetrates into the skin and reduces inflammation and swelling. Epsom salt also removes toxins from the skin, which helps to decrease pain. Bathing the feet daily will speed up the healing process.
