Using hot epsom salt sponge baths at least twice each day (six tablespoonfuls to each quart of water). In severe cases this remedy should be used differently and instead of using the sponge bath method the patient should take one part of their body at a time and sponge it with hot water for several minutes and then take a small handful of epsom salts and rub it over and into the skin, allowing it to remain for several minutes before washing it off with warm water.
