So, you're on a budget and don't want to go through a bunch of epsom salt and baking soda as well as calcium-disodium-EDTA. So, what do you do? You read this brief and have a working solution.
I am adding two cups of baking soda, two cups of epsom salt and 1/8 cup borax to bathtub at warm water temperature 110-125 degF range to help the salts dissolve and am about to add UVa and UVb lighting to do light + water-salt treatment (based off of what people experience in the Dead Sea... buddy of mine did a soak in there) the light and salt mixture are what is key.
You'll know the dedicated salt bath is super saturated when it cools down and salt and ice crystals start to form. Be careful when utilizing it a second time, may need to warm it up. Most bathrooms have overhead forced-convective air heaters to help you achieve this objective, just takes time.
Baking Soda: is Sodium Bicarbonate NaHCO3
Borax: is also referred to as Sodium Borate, Tincal and Tincar is a salt (ionic compound), a hydrated or anhydrous borate of sodium, with the chemical formula Na2H20B4O17 (also written as Na2B4O7·10H2O)
Epsom Salt: is Magnesium Sulfurate MgSO4
I'll post a calculator that blends these salts into a given bathtub size on electrostasis.com so anyone can calculate the specific quantity to dose for their specific bath tub. The work scope is in chemical engineering space (salt solubility curves, eutectics, etc.).
A friend of mine also drinks a glass of baking soda every morning. He boils the water before adding the baking soda. This activates it, otherwise you won't get the benefits from the soda. He said this helps him a lot.
