Epsom Salt Benefits You May Not Be Aware of

Tweet

I have used Epsom salts in my bath for years. My daughter is now using it for sore muscles. It is good for reducing swelling, decreasing inflammation, reducing soreness, and increasing magnesium. They say it might also help in soothing the skin and reducing itching and irritation. Soaking in it can also help with circulation, colds, flu, exfoliation, fungal infections, and just general relaxation. The way it works is that when you put it in warm water it dissolves and the magnesium and sulfate are absorbed into the body through the skin. But don't let it all go down the drain. Take some out to your garden. It helps your plants produce more flowers, grow bushier, increase chlorophyll production, and keep slugs and other pests away. It also helps seeds to germinate.
