Epsom Salt is a natural stress reliever.  Soaking in Epsom
Salt baths can also relieve muscle and joint pain.  It can
flush toxins out of your body, and much more.  Just add two
cups of Epsom Salts to warm bath water to take advantage
of the benefits of
Epsom Salt.

What is Epsom Salt? Magnesium and sulfates are the
major components in Epsom Salt, and major elements in all
human cells.  According to the National Academy of
Sciences, most Americans are deficient in both magnesium
and sulfates, and studies have found that this lack
accounts for the high rate of heart disease, arthritis, joint
pain, osteoporosis, chronic fatigue and stress-related
illnesses in our population.  Studies also found that men
receive 80% of the magnesium and sulfates needed for
good health, and women receive only 70% of their daily
requirement.
Epsom Salt
Why are you so depleted of magnesium and sulfates?  It's no surprise that the
American diet lacks basic daily nutrients. Marketed food products are heavily
processed to prevent spoilage, and are saturated with sugar, fat, protein and
salt.  All processed foods lack magnesium and actually accelerates the
depletion of magnesium in your body.  No wonder you feel completely
stressed out.  Researchers have found that raising magnesium levels in your
body can benefit your health in the following ways:

Improve heart and circulatory health by reducing irregular heartbeats,
preventing hardening of the arteries, reducing blood clots and lowering
blood pressure.

Flush toxins, harmful substances, and heavy metals out of your system
thereby easing muscle and joint pain.

Improve nerve function by regulating electrolytes, and help maintain
proper calcium levels in the blood.

Magnesium is a natural stress reliever.  Excess adrenaline and stress
are believed to drain the body of magnesium.  Proper amounts of
magnesium help the body bind adequate amounts of serotonin; a mood-
elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of well-being
and relaxation.

While increasing your magnesium levels, Epsom Salt also delivers sulfates to
the body, which are difficult to get through food, but are readily absorbed
through the skin.  Sulfates are also very important to our body’s functions,
and are said to benefit joint and digestive tract proteins, brain tissue, stimulate
the pancreas to generate digestive enzymes, and helps to detoxify the body of
medicine residue and environmental contaminants.

Magnesium:
    •        Reduces stress and improves sleep and concentration
    •        Reduces muscle inflammation, pain and cramps
    •        Improves muscle and nerve function
    •        Improves the bodies use of oxygen
    •        Regulates enzymes
    •        Prevents hardening of the arteries and blood clots
    •        Helps insulin perform more effectively

Sulfates:
    •        Flush toxins from the body
    •        Eases migraine headaches
    •        Improves the absorption of nutrients
    •        Improves the formation of joint and digestive tract proteins and
    brain
             tissue.

Use of Epsom Salt for Stress Relief
The most effective way to receive the benefits of Epsom Salt is to absorb it
through your skin, and soaking in an Epsom Salt bath is said to be the most
effective means of delivering magnesium and sulfates to your body.  Add two
cups of Epsom Salt to warm water in a standard-size bathtub, more if it’s
larger.  Soaking in an Epsom Salt bath once a week for at least 15 minutes is
good to receive the stress relieving benefits from the magnesium and sulfates,
but if you are trying to ease muscle or joint pain, bathe in Epsom Salt at three
times a week.

Epsom Salt can also be ingested and used as a laxative.  Epsom salt is an
FDA approved laxative.  The Epsom Salt package provides directions on how
to ingest it, but it is always good to consult your doctor before ingesting any
substances, especially if you have any medical conditions or are taking any
medications.

Additional Uses for Epsom Salt
When magnesium sulfate is absorbed through the skin it sedates the nervous
system, reduces swelling, relaxes muscles, relieves stress, and is also a
natural emollient and defoliator.

Compresses:
Use 2 cups of Epsom Salt per gallon of water to relieve sore muscles,
bruising, swelling or bug bites.

Foot Baths:
Use a cup of Epsom Salt in a container of warm water to soothe aches,
remove odors, pull out toxins and soften rough skin.

Skin Exfoliation:
Massage a handful of Epsom Salt over wet skin on any area to exfoliate an
area of your skin.  Rinse very with warm water.

Experience the wide-ranging benefits of Epsom Salt.  It's been used as a
home remedy for years.  The benefits of Epsom Salt are not folk lore, or just
an old wives tale.  The benefits and uses of Epsom Salt is backed by scientific
studies and years of research.  You can find more information on the benefits
of Epsom Salt at the
Epsom Salt Industry Council.
