Re: nigari...

Thanks for the reply.

So, are you saying that I should buy the least expensive kind and mix it with distilled water and soak my feet in it? How much nigari should I add per each cup of water. Do you know why there would be one brand that is much more expensive? Do you think that one is better taken internally, or would still be better externally?

I live on a US military base in Japan. I have a few friends who are Japanese (married to Americans). I can have them read things for me, but they are not very health-concious and so when I ask them about healthy Japanese things (like detox foot pads and things like that), they usually don't know what I'm talking about or think I'm crazy to worry about health so much. Maybe tomorrow I will have someone read the little expensive bottle of Nigari that I bought to see if there are any special instructions on it. I will post again if there is anything interesting to report.

Thanks,
Tina.
