Epsom salt has been used for centuries as cure-all. It is made up of magnesium and sulfate and is recognized as a natural source of this vital mineral combination. While magnesium and sulftate are not absorbed well in the digestive tract when used as supplement, they are both readily absorbed through the skin. A relaxing Epsom salt bath is an ideal and easy way to replenish the levels of magnesium and sulfate in the body. Physicians widely acknowledge that increasing the level of magnesium and sulfate in your body can have numerous therapeutic health benefits.
