Fizzle Bath | Arthritis Information

 

Can someone explain what this is?Fizziology 101:  Pick tub which needs to be cleaned.  Fill up about 1/3 with warm/hot bath water.  Pour in about 2 cups Epsom Salts, less or more if you feel like it.  Soak for 5 minutes, try to get submerged to at least your chin.  Add more warm/hot water if needed as you are trying to open your skin pores.  Pour in alot (2 big bottles) of hydrogen peroxide.  A brain in here warned that the OTC HP is not good, it's called something else the pharmacist has to have in stock or order.  A "pure" hydrogen peroxide.  (I knew they were holding back the good stuff for themselves.)  Lay back and enjoy a Fizzle bath for 30 minutes.  Try to soak all parts :)  Then use the left over solution to easily clean the bath tub.  It's a perfect combo LOL  C

Or the Short Cut Method:  Fill basin with warm water and 'some' epsom salt.  Soak body part(s) in need of nice, soothing soak in it.  Enjoy as long as you like.  Remove body part and pour hydrogen peroxide over it.  Smile in amazement if you fizz.  Keep pouring until fizzing stops.  Enjoy a relaxing, soothing sensation, even if you are fizzless.I soak in epsom salts then get out and spray the HP on with a spray bottle, leave if for 5 minutes and then rinse. I think OTC HP is okay, it's the industrial stuff used as natural bleach and cleaner you have to look out for, because it contains heavy metals.Is this supposed to be like a cleansing bath, a detox? I'm in the "whatever-you-want-it-to-be" camp.  Felt WONDERFUL on my OA, but no fizz for me.  Fascinating that my JRA daughter fizzes but not everywhere, just her affected joints.  Fizz or no fizz, I recommend it!I gotta ask ladies, does it bleach your "carpet"?  So I just pick up some of the hydrogen peroxide in the brown bottles? Or do I ask for a special type? Oh, and another question. Does anyone do this in their jet tub? Seems it would be more effective. The Epsom Salts are supposed to open the pores and this encourages acids to leave the body.
The body gets rid of acids by urine, sweat or breathing, so anything that opens the pores in this way is effective.    The less acids the less inflammation.
The hydrogen peroxide is supposed to oxygenate the blood, and I've read that "pathogens and viruses" do not like oxygenated blood.

I have two baths a week.   I use one large cup of "human" grade epsom salts (US measure) and 5 oz of 35% food-grade hydrogen peroxide.    35% food grade hp is very dangerous stuff and can cause severe burns if not handled carefully.    I buy the food grade hp on the internet and it is a bit expensive, but the real exponents of hp therapy all say that this is the only grade to use.  However, for a couple of years previous I was using the ordinary 3% stuff bought from the pharmacist.  (the 35% stuff is ok as long as it is diluted in the ratio 1:10)

I would happily recommend the fizzy baths to anyone , as long as they take care, particularly if they are using food grade hp.
