Sorry Paula, I'm not going to support their claims. Anything that claims to "remove toxins and cure ..." is only achieving one thing: putting money in someone's pocket and taking it out of yours! Your liver and kidneys are the detox mechanism of your body - they remove all sorts of things that are bad for us far better than a bath with salt in it.
Fibromyalgia is not a "toxin" related disorder - it is a fault in pain perception by the nervous system. Polymyalgia is probably due to a problem with blood flow as it is a most likely a vasculitis.

Sorry Paula, I've no idea either . If you are worried ask your GP.
If you can get in and out of the bath (I couldn't!) then I'm sure the salt will give you a lovely relaxing bath. So it won't be all wasted. It might even make the PMR less uncomfortable for a while - but it won't cure it.

Hi Paula, It sounds neuralgic. I've had different fleeting head discomforts every few minutes in the past, several times; each time it is a little different and usually goes away in 2 - dayis. For the life of me, unfortunately I can't think of the name (ugh) right now. Good luck!

There are spas all over Europe for "rheumatics" - but they just help you live with it, not cure. If I lived locally to one - I'd buy a season ticket if it wasn't too extortionate...

Paula, If you haven't opened the sea salt you can return the item to Amazon. I have done that before. Just check "returns" on the Amazon website.There is a time limit though.

I'm with those who say the salts don't "detox". But I also side with those who suggest a good soak in a salt bath is very relaxing, especially with a few drops of a safe aromatherapy oil added (I use lavendar and tea tree oil). I used to get dead sea salt, or sometimes celtic salt, our local aromatherapy store carries a number of these exotic salts. Now I just get Epsom salts from the pharmacy because I know my skin will absorb a nice little dose of magnesium.
