Description

Epsom Salt are Magnesium Sulfate, and Magnesium is a very popular and revered natural remedy and health supplement – for good reason!

Sulfates help improve the absorption of nutrients, flush toxins and help ease migraine headaches.

Epsom Salt has numerous health benefits as well as many beauty, household and gardening-related uses. Health benefits include reducing inflammation, helping muscle and nerve function and helping to prevent artery hardening.

When Magnesium Sulfate is absorbed through the skin, such as in a bath, it draws toxins from the body, sedates the nervous system, reduces swelling, relaxes muscles, is a natural emollient, exfoliator, and much more.
