Epsom salts are made up of the compound Magnesium Sulfate, and they got their name because one of the earliest discoveries of Magnesium Sulfate took place in Epsom, England.

Magnesium and Sulfate both play essential parts in the ways in which our bodies function including formation of brain tissue and joint proteins, and it can strengthen the walls of the digestive tract. Taking an Epsom salt bath helps restore the levels of these essential minerals in your system because they can be absorbed directly through your skin.

What DOES MAGNESIUM DO?

Many are unaware of magnesium’s crucial function within the body. It regulates more than 325 enzymes and supports vital processes including energy production, electrical impulses, and the removal of toxins. In recent times, there has been a rise in magnesium deficiency, attributed largely to dietary shifts and modifications in industrial farming techniques. This deficiency contributes to an increased prevalence of conditions such as arthritis, heart disease, hypertension, joint pain, and chronic fatigue.

ORAL MAGNESIUM VS MAGNESIUM SULFATE BATHS

While oral magnesium supplements might seem like an easy fix, the body struggles to absorb magnesium through the gastrointestinal system, with only about 40% absorption rates, and in some cases, as low as 20%.

This leads us to the benefits of Bath Soaking. For people looking to replenish magnesium levels, skin absorption, or transdermal magnesium therapy, proves significantly more efficient.

When magnesium sulfate is absorbed through the skin, such as in a bath, it draws toxins from the body, sedates the nervous system, reduces swelling, relaxes muscles, is a natural emollient, exfoliator, and much more.
