I wonder if anyone had ever heard of this or actually does it??

Lymphatic Cleanse Bath Recipe

Ingredients:
1 cup baking soda
1 cup Epsom salts (USP Grade)
Tub filled with hot water – as hot as you can comfortably soak in.

Procedure:
Soak in the tub for 20 – 30 minutes.
When you come out, relax and sweat it out.
Helps your lymphatic system, blood circulation, and skin detox.
When you get out of the tub, wrap in a blanket and let your body sweat and detox even more.

I use Epsom bath salts all the time.

They help a lot.

I've never added baking soda though.

Epsom salts are just magnesium sulphat. If you're deficient in magnesium then Epsom salts help. Otherwise they'll do nothing.

Well that's what I thought... Couldn't understand what it would actually do Confused

There's a very good chance you're deficient in magnesium.

Epsom bath makes me sooooooo tired all I can do after it is go to sleep :)
