Five Star Reviews: | 93% I highly recommend giving it a try September 20, 2017 I had no idea that taking a bath with these salts would be so profound. I didn't realize my muscles were chronically so contracted until they suddenly weren't any more. Additionally, I found my anxiety significantly reduced from baths with these salts (in conjunction with taking oral magnesium). But the oral magnesium didn't do it alone. Baths with these salts are really what made the difference.If you have never tried taking a bath with magnesium sulfate, I highly recommend giving it a try. I use about 1 cup and a half to 2 cups per bath. The small bag only lasted for a few baths, so getting this big one was a great deal.I also appreciate that this salt is unscented. This way, I can just add in a few drops of any essential oil I want to for a super awesome fragrant bath. It's great. Great for sore muscles November 29, 2016 Does what it is supposed to do. Shipping and seller service were great. Only downside - The packaging is a big awkward - I'm not able to reseal the bag without using a significant portion and it's size, shape and the fact that I can't re-seal it makes it difficult to store for me so I just leave it sit out in the bathroom. Soil Additive October 6, 2016 I use Epsom salts on my many Rhododendrons so they can absorb Iron from the soil so their leaves can stay green. MgSo4 is essential for Rhododendrons and Azaleas and in our rainy climate (Puget Sound area WA) we must add it every few years for it is washed out of our soil. I use 1 cup per inch of diameter of the main trunk thrown up on the dry leaves to cascade down on the drip line. This size package is perfect in weight for me to carry to dispense as I am a WW II Veteran. Ted's Epsoak Epson Salt Review August 28, 2016 Epsoak Epson Salt was fresh, packaged well, and as advertised. I found it a fair price. The packages may be a little large for some persons. It did have a zip lock tab for resealing. However, I would recommend a person buy it for items as listed, to place in smaller air tight containers. As, a tip, I actually used it to help decompose stumps left by a person who was fully paid to remove the stumps, in Miami Lakes, Florida. My opinion, the price was good for a good product. Due to the convenient size, I will buy more when the need arises to decompose more stumps. This is not intended to be nonsense. I actually used it for the purpose. Just to say a good product by a good seller. Happy to find a 20-lb. bag! May 16, 2016 UPDATE: I'm on my second order. We really go through these. Good price on a bulk size. Arrived earlier than expected. Husband tried a soak and said it worked wonderfully. We use epsom salts here for soaking sore feet, ache-y muscles, splinters, etc., and we are a large family, so we go through them pretty quickly. It's nice to find a bulk source at a decent price with *only* the epsom salt (no added ingredients). Works well - may be cheaper elsewhere May 15, 2016 It's Epsom Salt. Item arrived fast and intact. Plastic packaging is high quality and thick. Divide the salt into smaller containers, drop a few essential oils into them and presto! you have scented bath salts ready to use. You might find the same product cheaper elsewhere. At the time of this writing, a search of "bulk epsom salt" into google brought at least one company that sells at $24 for a 25lb bag with free shipping. | 78% Bath Salt Fave May 20, 2017 I love this product, but particularly this scent. Very subtle and relaxing. Really Good! April 21, 2017 Feels great on the muscles. I have also been told that it's very good for combination skin. It smells great and is truly helpful post-workout. Really great soak for runners & athletes or anyone with some aching joints. Love! May 11, 2016 Love, Love, Love this Dr. Teal's Epsom Salt solution. I love Dr. Teal's and normally use the Eucalyptus scented one. I bought this one for my husband who is a runner that has been training for a marathon. He has been having a lot of muscle aches and pains from all the running and we were looking for something to help give him relief. This stuff is AMAZING!! He loved it right away and said it helped, and I can smell it when the bath is starting up. I decided to give it a try myself and I just love it. For myself I will often do a mixture of this and the Eucalyptus. I find it heals sore muscles and is still really calming. I love how this salt smells and it really does relax ... March 28, 2016 I love how this salt smells and it really does relax my muscles nicely. My only complaint is that it doesn't last long because of how much you have to use in the tub. I wish this came in bulk! ... have purchased this product in the past it is superior to similar products August 3, 2015 I have purchased this product in the past it is superior to similar products. I find it superior to other products I have used and will continue to us this one |
Four Star Reviews: | 4% I love these reviews-it is about 50/50 on products here August 3, 2017 Good-it is EPSOM salts. And it is a BIG BAG. I love these reviews-it is about 50/50 on products here. I am so excited about getting a bag that is sealed up ok-was delivered ok, and It came from a local company-so, I am guessing that it is correctly labeled and is safe to use? Great May 7, 2017 Love having plenty of epsom around for my baths. Wish the brand would consider the new velcro closures. The zip lock is so awkward to deal with. Good deal for the price and quantity. April 10, 2017 Buying in bulk saves a good idea of cash. I don't much care for scented products either, and this unscented bulk bag was a good price. Seems to work well. Good price but is it pure? December 4, 2016 The reason for 4 rather than 5 stars, is I wonder if this is cut with something to dilute it. Epsom salts usually feel "soapy" when you use a lot. I took baths in this with 3 and 4 cups of salt to about 40 gallons of tub and I did not feel the soapiness at all. This is the only brand that happened and so I wonder if it is not actually pure. Worked like Epsom salt was supposed to work July 10, 2016 Worked like Epsom salt was supposed to work. After some intensive workouts, a soak with the salt helped reduce my following-day fatigue. It dissolved fairly quickly--about a minute or so under running hot water. Next time, I will get the larger bag since we plan to work out more this summer. Huge amount and works great! I go through this stuff like crazy October 11, 2015 Huge amount and works great! I go through this stuff like crazy, it helps a great deal for my Arthritis! Only problem is it's expensive, $30 is high for just under 20 lbs, but I love that I can buy a huge bag and have it delivered right to my door! I'm going to shop around a little more on Amazon when I start to run low to see if I can find it for a cheaper price! | 9% but I LOVE the results of eased leg muscles June 5, 2016 Bag was smaller than expected for the cost, but I LOVE the results of eased leg muscles. Nice soak March 15, 2016 Love all of the Dr. Teal bath salts. Very relaxing. This particular scent just isn't a personal favorite. Great Stuff / Winter Essential January 18, 2016 Smells good and works. The delivery was too. My only complain about this Epsom Salt is that you have to use over a cup of it to feel it working. Great for those cold winter nights after a long day. |
Three Star Reviews: | 2% Not sure what I did wrong here but the salt ... June 27, 2017 Not sure what I did wrong here but the salt take forever to melt in my bath tub water (its very warm). I didn't feel much of a difference on my skin. Hole in the bag. May 12, 2017 Product is excellent. But the bag came with a very large hole in it. 2 or so cups spilled into the box and onto the floor through the open seams in the box. Great product, 5 star January 6, 2017 Great product, 5 star. The 3 star is because of packaging. It doesn't seal once you open it. So a 20lb bag of epsom salt unopened instate a good thing. Difficult to open bag January 6, 2017 Big bag. Added 4 cups to bath but still did not "feel" the salt. Not sure it's worth the price. Shipping problem November 1, 2016 The product worked as expected. Method of shipping needs improvement. Box was damaged, bag was split in half due to impact and salt spilled inside box. | 6% Stress reliever, nice for baths August 8, 2016 I have a broken back and some other issues, and this was not miraculous, but it was nice in a hot bath. It's sort of a soothing, relieving product that helps break down some of the pain and stress of the day, but don't expect to be fully revived or pain free. make sure you get a scent you like. March 6, 2016 the smell is very strong, make sure you get a scent you like. Only okay December 17, 2015 I use the this product in other scents and really like the way it will fill the bathroom with fragrance-but not this scent. Can barely smell anything. Okay Product August 13, 2015 Aside from the fact that the bag arrived with a puncture which resulted in a HUGE mess in the box, it's hard to tell how effective a product like this really is. The scent is pleasant but soon dissipates. Good, not great May 21, 2015 I'm sure it works great as bath salts but was hoping for a more aromatic experience. Surprisingly didn't have much of a rosemary scent. I prefer the Eucalyptus Spearmint. Works well, but pricey for what you get April 9, 2015 I have sciatica, and epsom bath soaks really seem to help with the pain. My husband also uses these after hard workouts to help ease stiffness and soreness in his muscles. These are among the first ones I tried, and I do like them - they do the job just fine. However, I have found that regular old epsom salts you can get at the dollar store work just as well - if I want a little scent I just add some rosemary, tea tree, or peppermint essential oil and voila, scented salts. Considering the price difference between salt+EO and these pre-scented salts, I had to knock off a few stars. Good product, but to expensive for me considering how often I use them. |
Two Star Reviews: | 0% Salt everywhere :( May 26, 2017 I was excited to receive this and although I haven't used the actual product, I'd like to give others a heads up! When I removed the package from my porch, salt was everywhere and trailed behind me as I carried the package. Once opened, I found the bag that contained the salt with a large cut in it. Salt was alllllll in the bottom of the box. Very disappointed. Bag arrived with a 3cm tear in the back and ... April 25, 2017 Bag arrived with a 3cm tear in the back and leaked epsom salt crystals everywhere until I found it (including all over the box it came in). Poor packaging/ broken bag February 28, 2017 My salt arrived all over the box and fell out onto my floor when brought in from front porch. The bag was not intact and much of the product was missing. The epsom salt bag was delivered open inside the box ... January 5, 2017 The epsom salt bag was delivered open inside the box so the salt was all over. It also makes me nervous to use it in the bath since it was open, probably will be throwing it out now. Item Arrived Damaged November 9, 2015 The product arrived damaged. The bag punctured and the salts all over the box and my floor. I went to replace the product and in order to do so, I either have to take this 20 lbs. package to a UPS store or take time off to wait for a UPS agent to come pick it up. The loss was less than 8 oz, but the remaining product soaked up moisture and are in clumps in the bag. | 4% Overrated. May 10, 2016 Meh, I wasn't a fan. I run and work out so I frequently have sore muscles. I was really hoping this would help relieve some of that, but it didn't. I put in the recommended amount into hot water and soaked, but I got no more relief than a normal hot bath. I tried it again, using even more product, and still no noticeable difference. Tried once more, still no difference that I could tell. Unfortunately will not be purchasing this again, I think it's overrated. Very disappointed since I had heard wonderful things about Dr. Teal's. Maybe it's just this variety? Too Expensive October 20, 2014 Too Expensive. I love Dr Teal's products, but found this to be too expensive for the same size that I can buy locally for half the price. Weird Smell October 10, 2013 This has spearmint or some weird mint in it that made it smell funny. I was expecting regular mint and rosemary, but alas no. Yuck May 28, 2013 Way too fragrant, with unpleasant undertones. I was hoping for something herbal, and I've used scented bathsalts in the past, but this is a smack-you-in-the-head scent. Kind of makes me itch. |
One Star Reviews: | 1% This brand has weird plastic like white stuff that's left behind August 3, 2016 I've used a TON of epsom salt in warm baths as a runner and now also while pregnant. This brand has weird plastic like white stuff that's left behind?! What is that???? It clogs my drain after a few uses! Ew! Bag had holes in it. April 21, 2016 Bag had holes in it and I didn't open right away because I had a broken shoulder. I haven't figured out what to do with it yet. I looked for number to call and couldn't find one. | 3% Be aware, it's double the regular price January 22, 2015 Be aware, this particular product listing is for one bag rather than two as pictured--and the price is doubled. I used to get two bags via this product listing for this price. The last time I re-ordered I only received one bag. That's when I noticed the quantity had been changed, but the picture and the price hadn't. Very deceptive. Very disappointed. Product was expired September 17, 2014 Old and/ or expired product... Very disappointed. |
