How EXACTLY does "detoxing" your body in an EPSON salt bath actually work??

Question

So, your detoxing FROM the outside--how in the world does this "clean" your inside of the body?

{or with ANY type of salts: sea salts, ect.}

Answer 1

Epsom Salts do nothing of the sort. They don't clean anything. A bath in a solution results in Magnesium ions diffusing through the skin. This has the temporary effect of raising certain chemicals related to mood, and decreasing the production of chemicals responsible for inflammation (hence, making an injured or arthritic joint feel better). This has no relation to any sort of cleansing or detoxifying property, there flat out isn't one.
