The recommended usage is to soak in a bath with two cups of Epsom salts and a few drops of essential oil for at least 15 minutes. There are also recipes available for making mini bath salts as gifts. The main ingredient in Epsom salts is magnesium sulfate and it is not recommended for use during pregnancy or on open wounds or burns.
Epsom salts have wonderful health benefits that can enhance the detoxification capabilities of the body. They extract harmful toxins from the body and allow the healing properties of magnesium and sulfates to enter.
Why we love it: a source of magnesium for tired muscles, an Epsom salts bath or foot soak is the perfect way to relax and absorb its healing properties.
