Yep - it's the same epsom salts you put in your bath.
It's just minerals - and the directions on many brands give instructions for using orally it as a laxative.
Green tea would probably be counteractive to BE. You may want to try alpha lipoic acid & grapeseed extract instead.

If green tea might be counterproductive, wouldn't all antioxidents, as well as skin brushing in this area? Wondered about this since I brush my sore lymph nodes. tea

Fawn might be able to answer this better, but I believe green tea is counterproductive to BE because it contains caffeine.

Grace is right.
It isn't counterproductive as an antioxidant, it's counterproductive as a beta alpha adrenoreceptor agonist.
Melatonin is an antioxidant and is also counterproductive as an estrogen blocker (antagonist).
Alpha Lipoic Acid doesn't seem to have any contraindications for BE that I'm aware of (except that it will move glucose into muscles rather than fat cells, but that's okay once a day.)
