Natural Heroes 813. Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate)

Relax with Epsom salt

Epsom salt is also known as magnesium sulfate. Magnesium is an important mineral for many processes in our body, particularly the proper functioning of your nerves and muscles. Epsom salt baths are a solution! When Epsom salt is dissolved in water, the magnesium is easily absorbed through your skin and enters your body where it can fulfill its important task.

Especially for stiff muscles, Epsom salt in your bathwater can be a godsend! It relaxes and soothes your muscles. It also helps to support your skin. Don't have a bath? No problem, if you use Epsom salt as a scrub it also works, or you can use it in a foot bath.

How to use Epsom salt

For a wonderfully relaxing bath, add 300 grams of Epsom salt to a full bath. Stay in the bathwater for at least 10 minutes. Add a few drops of lavender essential oil for extra relaxation.

As a scrub in the shower, take as much Epsom salt in your hand as you think you need and scrub your damp skin with the salt. Pay extra attention to areas where your muscles are tired. Epsom salt is also suitable for gently scrubbing your face.

For a foot bath, add half a cup of Epsom salt to a foot bath with warm water. Let your feet soak in the water for 10 minutes and then dry them. Wonderful for tired feet!
