I was wondering the same thing. I know with epsom salts the magnesium is absorbed through the skin so I have been wondering how much is too much since I tend to be heavy handed with the salt in my baths.

I couldn't find anything saying it wouldn't be safe and my doula had recommended it for sore muscles and swelling.

It's not salt at all, that's just the name. It's magnesium sulfate. I swear by them! I live in phx and zero swelling so far. 33 weeks tomorrow!

Yep. I asked my midwives. It helps to sooth sore muscles.
