Product Review

I have not really used epsom salt for soaking much until I started training jiu jitsu. Before that I had used it only twice. Once to try and help make a broken and dislocated toe feel well enough to hike on. It didn't and I missed a trip to Havasu with a then girlfriend and group of people. The second time was after my vicious stingray attack at Scripps Pier when I was surfing. I mean when I rode my board into shore and just jumped off without looking right onto the thing. STING! The super hot epsom salt soak for that did wonders.

Now that I train jiu jitsu frequently and cross train for it as well it seems I am always sore. A change in philosophy about my training has me now focusing on how I take advantage of my recovery period. So my diet and rest has a new focus on my recovery rather than my active stage. It seems to be working great.

As part of that I am using a product called Endurasoak that I purchased from www.oasisrecoverysystesms.com. They seem to be marketing primarily to runners but I don't think you have to be an endurance athlete to take advantage of the product.

In my email communication with them they have been pleasant and helpful, I got free shipping and they seem genuinely interested in my physical performance. Nice to deal with real people, here in the USA when using a niche product. You can also friend them on Facebook.

I used both the peppermint and the lemon. I tried the lemon first and noticed only a small difference over a plain epsom salt bath. I tried the peppermint secondly and was blown away. I didn't want to get out of the bath!

Now if you're thinking to yourself this is a glorified bath-bomb from Bed, Bath & Beyond I couldn't fault you. But this is made for an athletic purpose, not just to make you smell nice and feel refreshed. But i have to say, it did that as well. I am 100% sold on the peppermint as an active part of the recovery portion of my training.

+great smelling, both kinds
+resealable packaging
+customer service
+does what it is intended too

-small packages. I would like something twice this size pound wise.
-it sometimes doesn't dissolve all the way leaving a few colored crystals in the bottom of the tub. These do wash right away when you shower next though.

4/5 ****/***** Give it a try if you need help with your athletic recovery.
