Go to the pharmacist and get Epsom Salts (not like table salt) and if you don't see it ask your pharmacist for it. Take 2 good cups of Epsom Salts and pour it into a small bowl, pour just enough boiling water over it to dissolve the crystals and then poor into a bath tub full of TEPID water (body temperature water.)
