You may have heard of the benefits of incorporating Epsom salts into your lifestyle, but what is it that they actually do?\u00a0We’ve got the rundown of all things Epsom salt, and how you can start using them too.<\/p>\n
If you’ve never heard of the humble Epsom salt, get ready for your mind to be blown.\u00a0Known scientifically as hydrated magnesium sulfate, Epsom salts contain high amounts of both these minerals as the name suggests. But why does this matter?<\/p>\n
It has been found that our magnesium levels have dropped by half in the last 100 years due to developments in our agriculture and diet, which leaves many people in danger of having a magnesium deficiency. This can create issues such as weakness, muscle cramps, tremors, dizziness, a bad memory and even poor heart health!\u00a0A lack of magnesium can also lead to the calcium in our body not being able to do what it is supposed to, as calcium works best when there is enough magnesium present.<\/p>\n
Therefore, as magnesium is not absorbed very well through the digestive tract, we have to look to other options. Fortunately enough, studies have found that having an Epsom salt enriched bath does actually result in higher magnesium levels!<\/p>\n
So what other benefits do Epsom salts provide? Here are some benefits as listed by the Epsom Salt Industry Council:<\/p>\n
With all these amazing added benefits, the real question is how much will it cost to get your hands on these life-changing minerals?\u00a0On average, Epsom salts retail for around $8 for a kilo, but this price can definitely vary depending on where you are buying them from.<\/p>\n
Epsom salts can be found in your local drugstore, but for more Epsom salt products, the best place to find a large variation would be to look online.
