Epsom Salts aren't actually salt, they are magnesium sulfate. Hope that helps...

check with your doc, the PDR, and other drug book soursces at your local library, and online.
Mg and other minerals, vits., herbs, otc meds. can NOT be taken with certain meds.
certain, if not all types of cheese contain rennin, and this will raise BP.

I was also told that topicals do not affect people the way that oral ingestion will, like if you are allergic to steriods that topical steriods wont affect you the same way..liek you can't take ingest prednisone but you can take use topical hydrocortizone... just my thoughts on this one.. LInda D

Most people with high blood pressure are deficient in magnesium.
If you are doing a liver flush, the excess magnesium will come out as diarrhea. In my opinion it is very unlikely that epsom salts taken orally would raise blood pressure. If it had any effect it would be more likely to lower blood pressure. It would most likely take repeated doses to have any effect either way.
If you are overly concerned try soaking your feet or take an epsom salts bath and see if that affects your blood pressure. You can use 2 or 3 cups of epsom salts per pan or tub of water. That is a whole lot more than the couple of tablespoons you would be taking with the liver flush.

check for interaction of effects of Mag. with your heart and bld.press. meds.
mag. is a calcium channel blocker. if one of your meds. is a calcium channel blocker there may be a problem. i don't really know. check the drug literature sources on mag. and your meds.
check with your pharmacist. if your drug store is a 24 hr. drug store, call them during their non-busy hours, or after 12.a.m. and get out of their 'night shift comas' to get an answer.

Very good advice...I didn't know magnesium is a calcium channel blocker. I'm not on a calcium channel blocker....Indapamide (diruetic) and Cozaar, and I will check the internet on both drugs in correlation with magnesium.
You're right, probably would be easier if I called the pharmacy, however.
Thank you very much.
