Magnesium sulfate

Magnesium + Sulfur + Oxygen = Epsom Salts.
Centuries of documented use as a bath salt to help ease muscle tension, pain and for general relaxation has Epsom Salt high up on our list of must-haves for the home clinic. 

Did you know that magnesium sulphate in its pure form (ie; no added essential oils or aromas) is also commonly used in the garden to help encourage chlorophyll and photosynthesis in plants that are lacking in magnesium, a vital nutrient in the growing process.

Believed by integrative medicine experts to help to calm the mind, stabilize moods and relieve depression. Physically, researchers are convinced that Epsom Salt has the ability to relieve migraine tension when applied topically or taken in a bath.

For bath use add 300gm or 1.5 cups of Epsom Salt to a running hot water bath and have a soak for a good 15 minutes. If you want to scent your Epsom to address specific complaints mix 6-8 drops of your chosen essential oil through the salt prior to adding to the bath. We recommend avoiding salt baths if you have open wounds or current skin inflammations such as dermatitis.

Some natural health therapists will suggest drinking Epsom Salt - we're not the expert here so before you go following any detox suggestions seek guidance from a specialist in this area. Consumption of Epsom Salts can cause upsets to the digestive system.
