Epsom salt: useful properties and how it works?

Epsom salt has long been known for its relaxing and detoxifying properties.

And today, naturopaths are increasingly recommending adding it to the bath, as this salt contains magnesium in a bioavailable form.

How to use it correctly and why, read on.

Why Epsoma?

Magnesium salt was first discovered by an English scientist in the 17th century at a mineral spring in Epsom, Surrey. Hence the name of the salt.

Also, Epsom salt is called English salt, magnesium, magnesium sulfate and bitter because of its bitter taste. It has no odor, the pH is neutral for the skin.

Outwardly, Epsom salt resembles table salt, because it looks like small transparent crystals.

But the composition of Epsom salt differs from the traditional sodium chloride.

Epsom salt is made of magnesium sulfate, and therefore contains magnesium in a bioavailable form.

Many people have a lack of magnesium in the body, so it needs to be replenished. It is easier to do this by taking baths with Epsom salt. After this procedure, the skin does not become dry, it will be soft and silky. Magnesium, which is absorbed through the skin, relaxes muscles and relieves tension.
