Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate in Epsom Salt, Studies have shown that magnesium and sulfate are both readily absorbed through the skin, making Epsom salt baths is an easy and ideal way to enjoy the associated health benefits.
Magnesium plays a number of roles in the body including regulating the activity of over 325 enzymes, reducing inflammation, helping muscle and nerve function, and helping to prevent artery hardening. Sulfates help improve the absorption of nutrients, flush toxins, and help ease migraine headaches.
When dissolved in warm water, Epsom salt is absorbed through the skin and replenishes the level of magnesium in the body. The magnesium helps to produce serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of calm and relaxation.
