What is Epsom Salt & How to Use It?

What is Epsom Salt & How to Use It?

Hello Friends,

Hope everyone is doing great!

Today I would be sharing something which I have recently discovered and amazed by the number of benefits it offers.. The product I am talking about is "Epsom Salt"

Although Epsom Salt and its skin and health beneficial properties are nothing new and is hundreds of years old, but I never paid attention and read about it before.... Recently only when I came across Epsom Salt from an Indian skin care brand "Organix Mantra", that I researched on it and was totally surprised and excited to know about its N number of benefits and uses!!


What is Epsom Salt?

Epsom Salt basically contains Magnesium and Sulphate and both of these nutrients gets absorbed into the skin readily. Magnesium helps to reduce inflammation, relax muscles. Epsom Salt is very helpful to reduce stress and tension in the muscles, reducing foot aches, healing cuts,improving sleep and concentration, Exfoliating skin in the shower, in the garden for plants and many more.
One of the best way to use Epsom Salt is to soak in a tub full of hot water with 2 cups of Salt. You can also just soak in your feet in a small tub with 1/2 to 1 cup of Epsom salt, that also works great to relax your feet and calm your mind & body.



We girls often love to wear heels and come back home with foot aches!! :) Well! this is the perfect remedy....Soak your feet in hot water with this salt for about 15-20 minutes and you will feel a big difference... It is also known to soften the skin and remove any sort of Odors...

Epsom Salt also helps to control any kind of fungal infection or inflammation on the skin. Mix it with Olive or Jojoba Oil and make a great exfoliator out of it and use in it shower to remove all the dead cells.

Epsom Salt is also great for the health of plants. You can use it in your garden as well.. All plants needs Magnesium and Sulfur to be strong and healthy.

I would highly like to recommend  you guys to try using Epsom Salt at least once. It is all natural..No chemicals!! It acts as a very nice pain reliever. It has really helped me relax after a very long tiring day. Not always, but yes sometimes I do like to just put my feet inside a tub of warm water with the salt and few drops of my favorite essential oil, Lavender Oil to add a bit more aromatic feel to it. Also, Lavender essential oil is a great way to relax your nerves too...So, it is a kind of dual benefit and more of a spa feel at home! :)  :)
