Epsom Salts

Hydrated magnesium sulphate, used as a relaxant and laxative and added to baths to soothe the skin. The name is derived from a bitter saline spring at Epsom, Surrey, England, which contains the salt in solution.

Epsom Salt Baths are an excellent way of combating stress and alleviating aches and pains. The high magnesium content in Epsom Salt Baths facilitates the removal of acids through the skin. They are therefore a wonderful natural treatment for sportsmen and women as well as patients suffering from arthritis and rheumatism.

Take 2 small cups of epsom salts and pour into a hot bath. Place a cold damp towel around your neck and soak in the bath for 20 minutes. If you have any medical conditions it is important you seek advice from your Doctor.
