WHY IS EPSOM SALT CALLED EPSOM SALT?
One of the earliest discoveries of magnesium sulphate, the scientific name of Epsom salt, occurred back in Epsom, England, which explains the first half of the name. The term “salt” probably refers to the specific chemical structure of the compound, although many people mistakenly assume it refers to the crystalline structure of Epsom salt, which has an appearance similar to that of table salt. (Table salt, of course, consists of sodium chloride, so it’s an entirely different substance than magnesium sulphate.)
WILL EPSOM SALT DRY YOUR SKIN AND LEAVE A RESIDUE THE WAY SEA SALT DOES?
No. In fact, Epsom salt is widely reported to soften skin, and it rinses away completely. While we don’t yet understand precisely why Epsom salt has a softening effect, the results have been widely reported for hundreds of years.
I HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION. IS EPSOM SALT SAFE TO USE?
Please consult with your doctor first, just to be safe.
Caution! Bathing in Epsom Salts can lower your blood pressures, always consult your doctor if you feel faint after using Epsom salts as low blood pressure can be dangerous to your health
