The human skin is very good at stopping things from absorbing through it. You can pretty much bath in gasoline and none of it will get inside you. Does the salt absorb through....uhh...orifices? Is it all a placebo?

log as sodium?

Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate. There is no sodium in it, but you wouldn't log it anyway. Do you log sodium when you go in the water at the beach?

I wonder if I can get drunk bathing in a giant mojito...:indifferent:

There's some belief that our diets leave us deficient in magnesium, and epsom salt baths can help alleviate this. I haven't researched the idea, but I can say that I always sleep better after a good epsom salt soak, and that's supposedly one of the benefits of magnesium supplementation.

ah. log the micronutrient. thank you.

how much I log at the ocean? is it a rate of absorption based on the surface area of my skin? like two hours would be a certain amount because my size? how to compensate for osmotic balance if had salty breakfast?

Of course. I log it along with the sun. I don't want to get fat.

I've also read on the internetz that it's one of the few things that does absorb through skin. I don't know, I just like using bath salt.

As long as you're not trying to eat people's faces like that one homeless guy...

Yes, your body does absorb some of the magnesium and sulfur, which is how people get the benefits from soaking in it. Do you really think that people have been doing this for hundreds of years when soaking in anything would have the same placebo effect?

And, skin is quite porous (at least the top skin layers are). If nothing was absorbed into the skin, nobody would have reactions to poison ivy or allergic reactions resulting in rashes.

They also work great for greening up a garden this time of year, on a side note. Especially good on hostas.
