I would like to get the benefits of absorbing Magnesium by using either Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) or magnesium chloride and the benefit that lectric soda (sodium carbonate) has on sore, tired muscles. Can either or both forms of magnesium and lectric soda be put in a bath together and remain in their original forms to act as they do individually or will they react and form something that won’t do anything or worse do something undesirable?




Mixing solutions of magnesium sulphate or chloride and sodium carbonate is effective way to produce precipitate of magnesium carbonate, known also as the mineral [magnesite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesite).


When filtered out, you would have solution of sodium sulphate (Glauber salt) or sodium chloride (table salt), with eventual excess of one of the used salts.


I doubt it is what you want.
