What are they?
Epsom salts are a crystal form of salt formed in evaporated pools in the crust of the earth. They contain a very high concentration of 2 specific minerals – Magnesium and Sulfur each providing therapeutic benefits. Although the general composition of most types of Epsom salt is the same – there are several grades of purity. We sell only the highest purity (food/USP grade) Epsom Salt.
What are the benefits?
Magnesium and Sulfur – Both present in very high concentrations in Epsom Salt have been proven to:
Help the body eliminate harmful substances by flushing heavy metals and toxins from skin cells.
Helps relieve muscle aches and cramps and reduces inflammation.
Reduce blood pressure and increase circulation.
Relieve stress and improves focus and concentration. Excess adrenaline levels and stress reduce the amount of magnesium which is a natural stress reliever. Replenishing the magnesium levels helps the body re-balance chemicals that regulate positive mood and relaxation.
Softens and moisturizes skin.
Reduces itching from rashes or insect bites.
Improve the body's ability to use insulin, reducing the incidence or severity of diabetes.
Many foods and drugs can reduce the absorption of Magnesium via the digestive tract. By bathing in Epsom salts Magnesium is absorbed directly via the skin – providing a higher level of essential magnesium being delivered to the body.
