Overview
Epsom Salt is magnesium sulfate, a salt compound that is time tested and safe. It has many uses. Epsom salt can help supplement your body with magnesium as a soak through the skin, or ease sore muscles, and can help you sleep better at night. It is also antibacterial and fungal, so soaking your feet can help with foot fungus or soaking your body can help with flus and colds. It can be used as a soak or compress to draw out a splinter. It can be added as an exfoliant in beauty products. It is also used in gardening as a fertilizer for plants.
