For now, I get mine from CVS. Actually, I just got some a day ago; it was buy one get one free! As far as ES, I have been using it for years and it works. However, (and I learn something new everyday) I have never saturated the water with ES like Ms Coon said so I’m excited the next time around when I use A LOT more salt.
As far as my personal reaction to ES, when I’m in the tub for about 20 min I know it’s starting to work because my thoughts start to drift. Then, when I get out of the tub, I feel tired and I just want to fall asleep due to a strong feeling of utter relaxation. Usually, that night, I sleep like a baby which is a similar reaction I have when I take ZMA the night before.
It’s just terrible that everyday people don’t use ES, they rather take a prescription drug like Ambien to help them sleep.
