Health Benefits

Epsom Salts is once again back in vogue. And why not ! Countless generations have benefited from its therapeutic qualities. It was once common place to soak in a bath of Epsom Salt and feel the tensions evaporate. In our busy lifestyle we swapped baths for showers and did away with a truly natural detoxifier and relaxer. Many of us have come full circle, recognizing there are no short cuts to good health and wisely returning to some truly wonderful remedies of old! These Epsom Salts are a human grade product of excellent quality that we have being selling to naturopaths & triathletes for years now. 

Studies have shown that magnesium and sulfate are both readily absorbed through the skin, making Epsom salt baths an easy way to enjoy associated health benefits. Magnesium helps our bodies in a number of ways including regulating the activity of over 325 enzymes, reducing inflammation, helping muscle and nerve function, and helping to prevent artery hardening. Sulfates help improve the absorption of nutrients and flush toxins.

Epsom salt, named after a saline spring at Epsom in Surrey, England, but is not actually salt it's a naturally occurring pure mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate. Epsom Salts are also widely used in the horticultural and hydroponic industry as they greatly assist in the production of chlorophyll which in turn produces healthy green leaves. They aid in the uptake of nitrogen and potassium which are essential elements to the overall health and vigor of a plant. Most professional citrus growers use it. Roses, Gardenias and Peppers love it also.

Epsom Salt provides sulphates in an absorbable form helping the body to rid itself of waste products and toxins by making them water soluble and therefore easily excreted.

Magnesium is necessary for the body to bind adequate amounts of serotonin, a mood elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of well being and relaxation. Many people find they have a very relaxed sleep after using Epsom Salt. 

This is a human grade product. Which can also be used by dogs or horses.
