    Most people I know use Epsom salts to soak our horse's feet when any foot is warm to touch and shows bruising. More than likely there's an abscess brewing and the Epsom salts helps to draw out infections.

    One bottle of water as a measurement? What size bottle? 8oz? 12oz?, 16oz? (Maybe using a measuring cup would be a better way. Like 1 tablespoon of Epson Salt to 1 or 1.5 cups as an example.)

    The basin you can get for Walmart (Homedics) is around a gallon up to the maximum line. I have that cheap Homedics basin and my formula is 1 cup of Epsom salt and 30 drops of tea tree oil. I used this basin and formula to cure a case of pitted keratolysis that I had for the prior 10 years, which was highly stanky. You can do foot baths for softness for beauty, whatever, I'm doing it for cleanliness. If you have stinky feet, you need to foot bathe!

    Like a hot tube, set to 100 degrees F, when turn turned up to 102 degrees F, it feels extra hot and uncomfortable. Remember, 98.6 degrees F is normal body temp and high temperatures will always flow from an area of high energy to areas of low temperature. So, it heats the feet & body first for a long time, as the water is a good conductor and cools to the air around it, even if A/C or Heat is set to 78-68 degrees F. It enters the feet first, opens the blood vessels that allows warmer than normal blood to flow up into the torso. It cools the the air around it but that takes time depending on the temp, volume and external air temp contact on how fast it cools. 100 degrees F is best overall contact. As it cools over ten - 15 minutes, it begins to feel to cold. That is your sign it is time to stop. Don't forget to start without a towel to step on. Tile is slick when wet, so avoid accidents. Use a nylon scuff pad to clean heels and feet from dead skin cells. You shed 100,000 cells per hour. This is how blood hounds track people even in a slight breeze. Otherwise they are funneled down onto our feet and gather. This is the loose crusty stuff found on you feet. A gentle rubbing will get rid of them. DK, ASE master tech since 78, retired.

    1 table spoon = 1 bottled of water ( 250ml / 500ml / 1.5l ) ?

    Recently had a toenail removed. Supposed to soak 15 minutes 2/day. Lukewarm water. Add epsom salt, 1 tbsp per gallon of water. Is that enough salt?

      If that is what your doctor instructed then yes. Hope your toe is all better now!
