Epsom salt is a chemical compound that has proven itself for having many uses. One such use that people have discovered for this salt is for promoting good health. Why has it come to be associated with healthy living? That is because it has magnesium, and magnesium is a very important element in making sure that our bodies are functioning as they should.
By what ways can we use this salt to help keep our bodies in tiptop shape? Here is a list of a few things we can do with Epsom salt for our health. As bath salts. It was first used as bath salts. A good soak in a tub filled with warm water and mixed with two cups is great for detoxifying the body and relieving stress.
Stress often reduces the level of magnesium in the body, and soaking in water mixed with Epsom salt restores the lost magnesium. It can also help in flushing out the toxins from the body and relieve muscle pain.
As a facial scrub. It can be an effective agent in cleaning and exfoliating the face. Exfoliating the face is necessary because it sloughs away the layers of dead skin cells from the face and allows newer, healthier cells to emerge. This is easy to do; all that needs to be done is to mix a pinch of Epsom salt with the facial scrub and massage it onto the face. Afterwards, rinse it off.
As a body scrub. Just like the skin on the face, the skin on the body also needs to be exfoliated. But other than that, massaging with it all over the body can also promote better blood circulation, soften the rough parts and help in making the skin tone look more even. Just rub this salt on your skin and rinse.
As a hair cleanser. The shampoo, conditioner and styling products that we use on our hair often leave remnants on each strand, leading to product buildup. When product buildup happens on the hair, it can be hard for the nutrients supposedly supplied by shampoo and conditioner to be absorbed by the hair.
As a constipation relief. Constipation is not just uncomfortable but painful. It is proven that drinking water mixed with a teaspoonful or two of Epsom salt can relieve a person of constipation.
These are just some of the uses Epsom salt has that can help promote bodily health. Having some this salt at home is always handy.
