We recommend filling a foot bath covering the ankle, feet on the floor for about 20 mins. The water should not be to hot. To hot full body baths or foot baths have been proven to be more of a detox. So if you want more absorption of the magnesium a bath with the temperature just above your normal body temperature is ideal.
