no you have to use epsom salt
Edited by dbrown7080:
"no you have to use epsom salt" Really?? Thats like saying that only 1 kind of spice will work on your food. There all kinds of things you can use in a bath and every one of them have advantages and disadvantages. Magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) is good for sore joints or to relax. Sodium Chloride (table salt) would be good to help skin problems.
