Sodium Chloride (table salt) would be good to help skin problems.

How is Epsom salt on cuts or soars?

I use them all the time. I have Fibromyalgia so chronic pain is something I have to live with. I use the Hydrogen Peroxide and Epsom salts to get rid of my pain. Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is basically water with an extra molecule of oxygen. When you take a 'Hot bath' your pores are open the Hydrogen Peroxide goes straight to the muscle. Oxygen makes the muscle relax. Epsom salts are high in minerals. calcium is a known pain reliever for muscles. Try it.. it doesn't hurt at all. I take them weekly. I've never had it sting in any way but. Epsom salt is used often in your bath salts that you buy from any store. all it is is mineral salts. If bath salts don't sting then Epsom salt won't sting. Unless you have a pretty badly infected cut. and then the sting is really beneficial. it means it's working in killing the infection.. I can't imagine a bath of hydrogen peroxide and Epsom salt being at ALL a good thing. If you have any cuts or sores, it will burn like mad. I just don't see the benefit to bathing in this mix. Please think twice.

Will a hot bath with epsom salt speed up detox?

Yes. Add 1-2 cups of epsom salt (depending on size) to hot water and lay in it for 15-20 mins. This will remove toxins from skin. Add 1 cup baking soda to remove acidic toxins from skin. Make sure to have a bowl of cold ice water to dip a wash clothe in to put on your forhead. The salt will dehydrate you, if you don't drink a lot of water during the process.
