Benefits of Epsom Salt
Relieves stress and relaxes the body:
Stress is found in many aspects of our lives, from the minute we wake
up to the time we go to sleep. Stress drains the body of magnesium while
increasing adrenaline levels. A bath soak or foot soak with Epsom salt
increases levels of serotonin – a mood elevating chemical that gives you
feelings of calmness and relaxation.
Increases Magnesium levels:
Magnesium is a very important mineral that your body requires for it to
function optimally. When your magnesium levels are low, you tend to
suffer from headaches, sore muscles and general fatigue. Regularly
soaking your body or feet in a bath of Epsom will significantly increase
magnesium levels in the body and improve your overall health.
Relieves pain and muscle ache:
An Epsom salt bath can help ease pain and relieve inflammation making
it useful for treating sore muscles, migraine headaches, arthritis joint
pain and muscle cramps.
Draws toxins from the body:
The sulfates in Epsom salt help flush out toxins and heavy metals from
the body’s cells. Your skin is highly porous and adding Epsom salt to
your bathwater triggers reverse osmosis which pulls harmful toxins from
your body through the skin.
Supports proper function of muscles and nerves:
Magnesium helps to regulate electrocytes in the body thus ensuring
proper functioning of nerves, muscles and enzymes. Magnesium also
supports the proper use of calcium; the main conductor of electric
impulses in the body.
Relieves constipation: Epsom salt is a known laxative and can help relieve constipation.
Improves blood sugar levels: With regular use, Epsom salt can help regulate blood sugar and lower the risk of diabetes.
