I read in the "New To Lyme" thread that in a foot soak 1.5-2 cups Epsom salt and 16oz of hydrogen peroxide has been helpful. Is that the amount for one of the small "foot spa" from cvs/rite aid/Walgreens? The amount of water that can be put in one of these things is so small so I just wanted to know if that's the amount for one of these things or if it's for something bigger. I don't want to "over do it" but also don't want to "under do it". Thank you for any help!! :-)

I don't know how big a "Foot spa" is, I just have a bucket.

I'm with Sarah on this one - although I use a plastic dish pan turn

I use about a gallon of water with those amounts of the Epsom salt and peroxide.

If the foot spa has a heating element or anything like that where the water would come in contact with it, the Epsom Salts may corrode it. A bucket or dish pan would be better at that point. Save the foot spa for a night you don't want to detox, just relax.

I use a Rubbermaid rectangular tub that holds about 24 quarts of water. It's plenty deep and wide. It's called "Roughneck". We've had it a long time, so I don't know if they still make them. The depth keeps me from sloshing water out when I carry it to where it's needed.
