The Eco Bath - Epsom Salt Bath Soak

One of the best things you can do for your body, Epsom salts are remarkable. They have been used for many years as an antidote to relieve stress, and tired aching knotted muscles.

Epsom Salt was first discovered in the mineral-rich waters of Epsom in England, way back in the days of Shakespeare. When the main ingredient, magnesium sulphate, 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. It can even help to combat jet-lag! 

Both magnesium and sulfate molecules may have an ability to help extract excess sodium, phosphorus and nitrogenous toxins from the body. Its soothing action may help with troublesome muscle aches and pains.

Magnesium sulfate dissolved in water creates a static, unified, electrical field, and immersing your body in it helps to create a magnetic balance.
