What is Epsom Salt?
It is an inorganic compound consisting of magnesium and sulfate. It comes from an area in Surrey, England, from where natural waters with magnesium sulfate gush.
Why is it important?
Magnesium is a key metal that plays a role in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body and these reactions are involved in bodily processes ranging from regulating blood pressure and supporting metabolism to keeping blood sugar levels stable.
Why Epsom salt bath?
Immediately relieves the body from pain
Is there anything better than a hot bath with Epsom salts to soothe cramped muscles or body aches? Probably not! It is best after a long day or after a hard workout, as it calms the nervous system and relaxes the muscles!
Detoxifies
Magnesium is known for its detoxifying properties. So if you gave in a little more to food or alcohol yesterday, Epsom salts and a few drops of your favorite essential oil are enough to "rinse" all these toxins quickly and enjoyable! And it does not stop here! Magnesium is also a popular headache treatment - two turtledoves in one go!
Relaxes & Improves Sleep
Many studies have shown that magnesium plays a very important role in the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), also known as the resting and digestive system. In practice, this means better sleep quality, fighting insomnia. For even deeper relaxation, try adding a few drops of lavender or chamomile. According to researches, the aroma of chamomile helps reduce stress, while Lavender calms the nervous system and refreshes the mood. Finally, we suggest that you stay away from your mobile phone while you soak in order to get all these benefits to the fullest!
Soothes dry, irritated skin
If the winter left your skin dry enough, dehydrated, wild or even "cracked", a bath with Epsom salts can give the magic solution again, leaving your skin soft, silky and hydrated! To achieve this, simply add coconut milk, coconut oil, any essential oil of your choice along with two cups of Epsom salts. Just be careful when you go in and out of the bathtub because the oil can hide traps!
