I've been intrigued by the use of Masada bath salts to help relieve muscle tension and stiffness due to arthritis. My mother is the one with arthritis and her doctor suggested trying these in her bath water. I see that most people say it's helpful for skin irritations and the like, but have you found that it has any benefit for muscle fatigue or joint problems? I guess I should just bite the bullet and buy a package and give it a try. However, since my mom is on a fixed income, I hate to buy every recommended product without some sort of anecdotal evidence that it works.

Thanks for your contributions, though. My mom also has dry skin, so I guess if it doesn't work for the arthritis, it will help soften her skin! (She will be 92 next week!)
