Epsom Salt: A Must-Have in Everyone’s Homes

For all those interested in gardening, agriculture and related categories, Epsom salt is a must-have for your home and vegetable garden. For those who may mistake it as some salt, I would correct that it is not really salt, but minerals that our body needs. It is made up of magnesium and sulfate which is highly beneficial for our health.

Magnesium helps regulate more than 300 enzymes in our body and lack of magnesium can cause us to have a high blood pressure, heart problems, hyperactivity and other serious health issues. According to the Epson Salt Council, “Sulfate is essential for many biological processes, helping to flush toxins and helping form proteins in joints, brain tissue and mucin proteins.”

All of these facts are pretty amazing for just a small crystalline substance. It is great for all sorts of muscle aches as well as for your dry and wrinkly hair. It is often used in hydroponics and agriculture as a fertilizer.

If you just want to relax, after a long tiring day, you can put some Epsom salt in mild war, water and put your feet in. It will help the ache greatly. You can use it for any foot and hand problems. Put 2 cups of the Epsom salt in tub and take a bath it in. The salt eliminated toxins by exfoliating the skin. It also helps cure conditions like athlete’s feet and toe fungus.

Moreover, believe it or not, It is a great cleaning agent as well. Use equal parts of the Epsom salt with the detergent to clean your bathroom and kitchen tiles. Add it to the soil in your backyard where you have your little vegetable garden.

So what are you waiting for? If you don’t have some Epsom salt at your home, you can run to the nearest grocery store and get your bag home so you can use it for all the things mentioned above!
