Soothe the Body, Mind, and Soul

I told you sometime ago that I would give you some information about the benefits of Epsom salt.

So what is it and where does it come from?

Epsom salt is named for this bitter saline spring at Epsom in Surrey, England.

Although it is not actually salt but a naturally occuring pure mineral compound

of magnesium and sulfate. It has long been known as a natural remedy

in many ailments. I am told that not only can it be used for health benefits, but

also for beauty, household, and gardening-related uses; which the last three

can be talked about in a later post.

 

Many studies have shown that magnesium and sulfate are both

readily absorbed through the skin. Putting some Epsom salt

into your bath is an easy and ideal way to enjoy the amazing

health benefits. 

 

Studies have shown that magnesium

plays a number of roles in the body including regulating the activity

of over 325 enzymes, reducing inflammation, 

helping muscle and nerve function 

and helping to prevent artery hardening.

There are COUNTLESS health benefits of Epsom salt:

relaxing the nervous system, curing skin problems, soothing back pain

and aching limbs, easing muscle strain, healing cuts, treating colds

and congestion, and drawing toxins from the body. Also

for easing bronchial asthma and migraine headaches.

Proper magnesium and sulfate levels increase the effectivenss

of insulin in the body, helping to lower the risk or severity of diabetes.

For improving the absorption of nutrients, flush toxins and help

ease migraine headaches - that's what sulfates are for!

Many, MANY powerful, healthful benefits of magnesium and sulfates!

Since I have been dealing with adrenal fatigue and I am exhausted 

most of time, I have been searching ways to ease stress and to

relax my body. Stress DRAINS the body of magnesium

and increases levels of adrenaline. So you just fill your tub 

with warm water pour in a litte Epsom salt and soak your worries away...

The Epsom salt is absorbed through the skin and replenishses 

the level of magnesium in the body. Research shows that magnesium 

helps to produce serotonin, a mood elevating chemical within the brain

 that creates a feeling of calm and relaxation. Now THAT'S easing stress!

Not only does it make you feel relaxed but it helps to lower blood

pressure, improves sleep (which I am in need of), concentration,

and help muscles and nerves to function properly.

Experts believe that bathing with Epsom salt at least three times

a week helps you to look better, feel better, and gain more energy.

After you relax for a while in the nice warm tub, expholiate

to give your body good circulation and a nice warm glow.

You'll LOVE yourself for it!!

Here's to your health!
