Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulphate) 500g

With the creation of new medicines, treatments, tonics, rubs, sprays, soaks and other aids, many people have lost sight of the fact that before all of the fancier products came along, the old-fashioned products did the trick for most people. The newer products might come in fancier packages, have added aromas or come with sparkles and colours, but stripping all of that away, you end up with the underlying ingredient which is one that works. Some of these main ingredients have been around for many years and in their plain form are all but forgotten by most people, but still work very well. Among these products are Witch Hazel, Isopropyl Alcohol and Epsom Salts. Did you know, for instance, that soaking a splinter wound in Epsom Salts can release the splinter and help the area to heal? Many people know that epsom salts works to relax tight muscles, and are found in many bath salt products, but Epsom Salts actually have dozens of healthful benefits. Epsom Salts - Magnesium Sulfate - are a natural way to treat skin problems, relax the nervous system, and draw toxins from the body.

- Soak aching, tired feet in a pan of water with half a cup of Epsom Salts and not only will your feet feel better, but they'll smell better too! Epsom salts work to neutralize odour and soften skin. Soak feet until they feel better then rinse and dry well. A full bath should contain 2 cups of Epsom Salts for relief of tired feet, back muscles, legs or just as a way to have softer skin.

- You can also rub Epsom Salts all over the body while wet, then rinse and towel off. Rubbing epsom salts directly on the body exfoliates skin and leaves it smooth and silky. The combination can be used on the face, as well as to treat dry skin problems.

- The salts do wonders for the hair, absorbing oil from problem hair by adding 8 tablespoons of Epsom Salts to hals a cup of shampoo thats formulated for oily hair. Put a tablespoon of the shampoo mixture on dry hair and work it in and around the scalp area, rinsing it out with cold water.

- For occasional constipation or irregularity, adults can mix 2 to 4 teaspoons into water until dissolved and drink. Kids 6 to 12 take half of that. Thid can be used twice a day by taking the first treatment, waiting 4 hours and then taking the second dosage if neccessary.

- Bruises, sore or strained muscles and sprained ankles recieve relief when soaking in Epsom Salts. Epsom Salts are safe to use but when applied directly to the skin or hair, rinse well. The next time you're shopping for bath, health or beauty products, pass by the fancy, expensive stuff and try Epsom Salts.
