Epsom Salt 1Kg - Resealable Pouch of Magnesium Sulphate

Originally discovered in Epsom (Surrey), Epsom Salt has been traditionally used as a bath and spa mineral salt for centuries, for general health and to aid muscle relaxation and recovery.

Epsom salt is made of Magnesium sulphate. When dissolved in bath or spa waters it is believed to be partially absorbed through the skin, providing a means of natural mineral supplementation for both magnesium and sulphate. Magnesium regulates the activity of more than 300 enzymes in the body and sulphate is used within many biological processes.

The Magnesium sulphate used in this formulation is of food grade chemically pure (100%) quality, but is packaged for cosmetic use in a resealable. Store at room temperature away from moisture.

Some Traditional Spa uses for Epsom Salts include:

1. For summer ailments such as mosquito bites and mild sunburn, make compresses by soaking a cotton washcloth in cold water that has been mixed with Epsom salt (2 tablespoons per cup), then apply to the skin.

2. For sore muscles make compresses by soaking a cotton washcloth in cold water that has been mixed with Epsom salt (2 tablespoons per cup), then apply to the skin.

3. For relaxation, an alternative method for sore muscles and to help reduce bruising, take an Epsom salt bath by adding 2 cups of Epsom salt to the water in a standard-sized bathtub. The salt dissolves more quickly if you pour it under running water. Bathe 2-3 times weekly, soaking for at least 15-20 minutes each time.

4. Foot Bath - Soothe aching feet with a bath salt balm. Simply create an Epsom Salt bath by pouring 1 cup (100-250g) into a tub/bowl/foot spa of warm water.

5. Pedicure - Mix 1/2 cup of Epsom salt with warm, soapy water. Soak feet to soften skin. Remove polish, cut and file nails and calluses. Soak feet in an Epsom salt bath for 5 minutes.
