Epsom salt is more accurately known as magnesium sulfate.
Magnesium is an essential mineral present in the body in the fourth highest abundance, only surpassed by calcium. Essential for over 300 biochemicial processes, many individuals fail to consume adequate amounts of magnesium. As opposed to other sources of magnesium supplements, some people suggest that Epsom Salt Baths are most effective for obtaining the mineral.
Adequate levels of magnesium are integral to maintaining good sleep and reducing stress. Magnesium deficiency can have an adverse effect on sleep and stress levels. Epsom salt baths can help alleviate these issues due to the absorbable magnesium through the skin.
Bathing in Epsom salts can reduce muscle pain and cramping, two key elements for peak exercise performance and recovery. It is common knowledge that an adequate amount of magnesium helps with physical activity since it increases the availability of glucose in the blood, muscles, and brain, and simultaneously decreases lactic acid buildup in the muscles. Hot baths also ease sore muscles and promote relaxation!
Many people report improved symptoms of fibromyalgia and arthritis upon taking Epsom salt baths, potentially because magnesium may help reduce pain and swelling.
