Epsom Salt
Epsom salt derived its name from the town of Epsom in Surrey, England, in the early 17th century.
Epsom salt with its therapeutic characteristic has a long history of use for its possible medicinal advantages, and wellness purpose.
What is Epsom salt?
Epsom salt is a magnesium, sulfate (sulphur+oxygen) chemical compound.
Magnesium is crucial for regulating the activity of over 300 enzymes in the body, and a lack of it can lead to high blood pressure, hyperactivity, heart issues, among other problems.
Sulfate is essential for detoxifying the body and plays a key role in maintaining the health of skin, joints, and bones.
"Epsom salt is one of those things that has been around forever, but people don't realize how useful it is."
Martha Stewart
Epsom salt is said to help relax muscles, boost detoxification, and enhance general well-being when used in baths or applied topically.
Did you know that stress depletes magnesium levels?
Yeah, that is one of the reasons it is great to chill in the hot tub of water filled with Epsom salt…
Anxiety?
Magnesium has a relaxing effect and helps convert tryptophan to serotonin, which is why it helps with anxiety. -Dr Bindiya Gandhi
Chronic Pain?
Many people report that Epsom salt baths and float therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation related to conditions like fibromyalgia and arthritis. This is thought to be linked to the elevation of magnesium levels, which are often suboptimal in individuals with these conditions.
Sleeping Difficulties?
Research indicates that magnesium is crucial for the production of neurotransmitters that induce and sustain sleep.
Exercise performance and recovery?
Adequate magnesium levels are beneficial for exercise, as research indicates magnesium aids the body in utilizing glucose and lactic acid.
Epsom can also reduce muscle pain, cramps, and headaches by flushing toxins and heavy metals from the cells, thus easing muscle discomfort and assisting the body in eliminating harmful substances.
