Could you use plain epson salt in the Kendal foot massager

Yes, you could use any type of foot product in this footbath. The tea tree oil foot soak is especially refreshing and cleansing. I'm a fan of Epson Salts, but I like the tea tree oil soak much better.

I recommend you use a plastic tub for the foot bath. The case is lined with a metal casing and would not work well for a foot bath container. Otherwise, everything you need is included, except the salt.

My doctor advised me to put 2 to 3 cups of Epsom salt in a standard size bathtub. I mix the Village Naturals epsom salts with plain epsom salts about 1 to 5 to help stretch the more expensive salts.

I'm sure you could, but I think it would be a lot quicker if you just go to the Epson site, enter in your model# (Artisan 835) and simply download the driver.Hope that helps!

I put Epsom Salts in mines every use. About 12 times since getting it with 30-60 minutes each use.I run clean water with the pump on and empty it a few times to remove as much salt residue out of it.Everything appears to work the same as when it was new. Manual/book does not specify anything about using salts in it so do so at your own risk.

It does not really matter i think, but we use it before the shower just to get feet ready to go again :) The salt really helps tired feet, my husband has bad feet and he says that it gives strange feeling: like it waking up after being asleep.

They say you can but the lotion should be of the same viscosity as the soaps. Like soft soap if you're not familiar with the simplehuman soaps.

I use Magnesium oil. I spray on areas with nerve pain. I do not bath with it. Keep away from face and orifices, on me. It does help quell early nerve pain. In search of magnesium I use the dietary approach and a supplement. Magnesium has helped people with Fibro. This is a lot stronger than Epsom salt if my plants are any indicator.

It's not a foot massager, it's a detox bath. You put your own temperature water in it (it works best IMHO if the water is on the warmer side).

I agree with the previous answer. It is wonderful in making magnesium oil, foot or bath soaks and in magnesium body butter and lotion.

I use a plastic dishpan, no liners clean up easy. If you want to use a plastic bag to line , it's up to you. The additive I use is sea. salt or plain salt or you can use Epsom salt just a little at a time until your reading is between 1.2 to 1.5. If you add too much salt add some more water.

Paperwork says "Not recommended for Salt" but also states if you do "remove agitator before salting". I personally use this only for lawn care. May want to go directly to the Earthway site and ask this question. Cheers

Eat the salt, it's so good! It's a bit expensive to bathe in it, but you can if you want. I used to bathe with Epsom salts, but now I bathe with the H202, it's better!

Not really. A pressure bladder squeezes the feet to apply pressure, and shiatsu rollers knead the bottoms and sides of the feet. It's the best foot massager we have used. I bought it as a Christmas gift for my wife, and her and my kids use it multiple times per day. Great product.I would be nervous to get a roller-type massager for the tops of my feet, since they are so sensitive with delicate bones! But no, it doesn't really get the tops, other than the squeeze and release action of the bladder.

Hi Jennerjahan ~ Magnesium Choride is what the mag flakes are, 100% pure. The epsom salts are magnesium sulfate, which is not as effective for the purpose of healing. The transdermal mag flakes solution (ration 1 pt flakes 4 parts water) does amazing things. I even pass it around among my hospice patients (I'm strictly a volunteer) & it soothes, even if it does not heal them. "The Iodine Crisis" by Lynne Farrow (can be bought on Amazon) is chock full of GREAT INFO!!! ~ bonnie

The directions say not to add anything to the water; addiyives may clog orifices where water bubbles come from. However, I have used white vinegar, peroxide, well dissolved epsom salts--not at same time--and works fine. I think anything that may build up residue as oils or gels might clog openings. I still love this footbath over the other two I had previously purchased.
