THERAPEUTIC BATH SALTS

As an Aromatherapist, I am a firm believer in the infinite support and nourishment a bath provides. The ability to influence the body through its largest organ the skin, is a huge advantage. A relaxing bath stimulates blood circulation, promotes absorption of nutrients and boosts your metabolism. It eases tension, inflammation, soreness, congestion, and enhances digestion and healing.

 

Epsom salts also known as magnesium sulphate, is a compound made of magnesium, sulphur 

and oxygen. Magnesium is an important micronutrient essential for more than 325 biochemical reactions in the body. Transport of magnesium ions across the protective barrier of the skin is contentious.

In my experience Epsom can support magnesium levels in the body. Regular Epsom baths promote, support and supplement our mineral deficient modern lifestyles. Magnesium is essential for people, animals and plants. It exists in the blood, body, cells and bones. Epsom salts are a very easy, economical and nourishing way of providing the body with magnesium for relaxing the nervous system and the myriad benefits that come with a balanced nervous system. Magnesium deficiency has been linked to several inflammatory conditions. Adequate magnesium levels are essential for sleep and stress management. Epsom salts have a long history of therapeutic uses, some of which are listed below. 

 

Eases strain and relaxes tired, stiff or aching muscles

Reduces pain and swelling

Relieve pain and muscle cramps

Aids exercise performance and recovery

Promotes sleep and stress reduction

Soothes nervous and digestive systems

Helps to eliminate toxins from the body

Extremely effective for many skin problems

 

Many oncology treatment side effects and indeed illness in general, benefit from a foot bath. The foot bath gently cleanses and softens the skin, helps to relax the mind and influence the body. 

 

I DO NOT advocate internal usage of Epsom. Internal Magnesium supplementation should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
