      Try again, okay now.

        Thanks!

    How is this any better than Epsom salt ? Which is around 6 bucks(for a kg) at Colesworth ?

    • beatsntoons on 28/01/2022 - 09:57

      Probably has an added scent or something. But you’re right, Epsom salts ftw

      • freefall101 on 28/01/2022 - 10:49

        Epsom salt is magnesium sulphate and the theory is you absorb a little bit of magnesium in the bath, which is probably crap (also, just take a magnesium supplement, it will do the trick). But it does soften the water and make it feel nice (and prevent wrinkling from the bath water).

        Radox is sodium sesquicarbonate (with some bicarb and cleaning stuff). Basically you're putting yourself in washing machine water, which again feels very nice and will help get you clean.

          Thanks :)

        • Telios on 30/01/2022 - 19:28

          They have shown that despite the Magnesium Sulphate molecule in theory being too large to enter the body through the skin, that having epsom salt baths does raise the blood serum magnesium levels.

          The current theory is it entering via mucosal membranes and the anus LOL

        For me I do think aot of it is the color and the smell. Don't care if it's a placebo if it works.

    • sallan75 on 28/01/2022 - 10:21

      Epsom Salts you have to use a lot more than Radox. One brand of Epsom Salts I just looked at recommended using 375 grams for a bath and that was a 1KG box.

      • Cheaplikethebird on 29/01/2022 - 11:50

        You can get a 25kg bag delivered for around ~$55 off eBay. That’s twice weekly epsom salt baths for 18 months. That’s what I’ve done.

      Just put your foot over the shower drain

      • Hayo on 28/01/2022 - 13:41

        I think you mean put a couple of your "toes" right?

      • subywagon on 29/01/2022 - 13:42

        mmmm waffle stomp.

    • tunzafun001 on 29/01/2022 - 11:56

      Buy a blow up kiddie pool or plastic clamshell.

      Place a Jolie hydro spa matt in the bottom.

      Fill with hot water (laundry tap etc).

      Enjoy

  • BarrytheBargain on 28/01/2022 - 10:08

    Love this stuff, better than the more expensive brands. Thanks OP

    I never thought about it till a few weeks ago when I was considering buying a tube of deep heat - how does a topical treatment actually affect muscles?

    I understand that these salts can affect your skin and provide a pleasurable finish (!) and therefore give some type of relief (much like deep heat will "burn" your skin and by virtue of adding extra sensory load to the brain may act as an analgesic diminishing the muscular pain, even though it does not affect the muscle at all) but any allusion to soothing muscles has gotta be pure BS.

    Am I missing something?

    • Pricebeat on 28/01/2022 - 10:55

      I guess it’s something to do with transdermal absorption of magnesium. Not a proven theory as far as I know

        If that was true I think we'd all die of sodium poisoning every time we go and swim at the beach.

    • KKA23 on 28/01/2022 - 11:21

      Maybe try fisio cream it's not as harsh

    • Telios on 30/01/2022 - 19:41

      Most of these muscle pain relief topical creams contain "Oil of wintergreen" or Methyl salicylate.

      This gets metabolized into Salicylic acid which is chemically and functionally a precursor of Aspirin.

      So no, you are actually applying an NSAID.

      Salicylic acid modulates COX-1 enzymatic activity to decrease the formation of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins. Salicylate may competitively inhibit prostaglandin formation. Salicylate's antirheumatic (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory) actions are a result of its analgesic and anti-inflammatory mechanisms.

  • Terra Australis on 28/01/2022 - 11:28

    had a bath with my 2 year old bottle the other day because I had a back injury, was surprised to find there's no actual magnesium in these

    just grab a box of the Epsom salts I reckon

    • pizzaguy on 28/01/2022 - 12:20

      just grab a box of the Epsom salts I reckon

      But before you do, see the previous comments.

      • Terra Australis on 28/01/2022 - 13:32

        good to be informed. personally I choose to pay a bit more for the real stuff (magnesium) than have more junk (sodium seuajznakkajskakakcarbonate)

    Same price at Chemist Warehouse, and easier to pickup rather than waiting 2-5 weeks for delivery

  • Skinnerr on 28/01/2022 - 13:12

    I use mine in a square tub 8L tub for footbaths after long walks. 👍

  • meowsers on 28/01/2022 - 13:38

    We never had a "bath salts" epidemic here in Oz but every time I read this I imagine someone smoking bath salts.
