plasticat, I sure hope it is OK to soak in an Epsom Salt bath because I do it often, if you add some baking soda it will make your skin feel wonderful.

If you use the salts normally you can probably keep doing it while fasting. But take it easy and notice how you feel before and after each time in case it does cause ennervation especially later on in your fast. I personally wouldn't bother with the salts myself but if you do just be careful as always. :)

Paul Bragg I his book The Miracle of Fasting recommends never take a hot Epsom bath while fasting. I forgot and took a 20 min one on my 7th day of juice fasting and felt bad in my stomach while standing after, so had to lay down and rest for 15 minutes wrapped in the towel gown. It passed and I had a great bowel elimination (I was not producing any stools at the 7th day of fasting) so it was great. So my advice is yes, soak for 10 to 20 min max but be aware that you need to lay down wrapped in towel immediately after.
