in all seriousness I don't know about epsom salts.  deh used to gih we in TT too.  I am sure it it as usefil as ketchim say.  I have heard dat talk long time.

but I come to see Karela and Aloes.  if my belly hurt aloes and bam it gorne.  if I eat bad food with its predictable effect Karela in any form..tea, veggie helps..stops it dead.

if you can concentrate the gum in aloes..the pectin under the skin that is bitter like sin.  one tiny drop of that and I am good to go
