Benefits of Epsom Salt

- Exfoliant

Due to its coarse texture, Epsom Salt is great for use as a scrub. You can use it on the lips and body to slough away dead cells. Epsom salt is excellent as a foot scrub too.

- Reduces Pain

Magnesium in Epsom Salt is absorbed into the body through the skin and helps in relieving muscular pain. That’s why you love to soak your feet in warm water filled with Epsom Salt after a long and tiring day. You can also try this relaxing foot spa procedure to unwind after a long day.

- Relieves Stress

Epsom Salt is known to have a soothing effect on the mind and body. Bathing in a tub filled with Epsom Salt is an amazingly relaxing experience and also promotes better sleep.

- Besides this, Epsom Salt is used for volumizing hair, improving circulation, regulating blood sugar levels and other benefits.
