Botanical Name: Magnesium Sulphate
Description:
The salt in Epsom creates a high-mineral content that duplicates the benefits of a hot spring. It is a chemical compound containing magnesium and sulfur.
Epsom salt is said to have anti-inflammatory properties and when it is absorbed through the skin, such as in a bath, it draws toxins from the body, sedates the nervous system, reduces swelling and bruises and relaxes muscles.
Epsom salt can also be used for natural exfoliation to remove dull and dry skin cells, making the skin refreshed and rejuvenated. It is considered to do wonders for the hair, absorbing the oil from greasy hair.
Recipes:
Relaxing and sedative bath: Soak in warm water and 2 cups of epsom salt.
Foot soak: Soothe aches, remove odors and soften rough skin with a foot soak. Add 1/2 cup of epsom salt to a large pan of warm water. Soak feet for as long as it feels okay. Rinse and dry.
Face Cleanser: To clean face at night, mix a half-teaspoon of epsom salt with your regular cleansing cream. Just massage into skin and rinse with cold water.
