Epsom Salt Story

MAGNESIUM

Epsom salts provide many health benefits. When added to water, the minerals are easily absorbed through your skin. Which is the best way to boost your magnesium (aside from through food). Sometimes getting the magnesium transdermally can be a good way because it is less affected by activity in your gut, from things like stomach acids and digestive enzymes. When the liver and stomach are bypassed more of the magnesium can go directly into the bloodstream.

Most of us need to increase our magnesium because it is estimated that 70 to 80% of Americans are deficient in this mineral. Magnesium gets depleted whenever we are under stress or have anxiety too.

One study found that a daily 20 minute foot soak resulted in a significant increase in individuals overall magnesium level in 4 weeks.

Since Epsom salt increases your magnesium, it has also been found correspondingly helpful in increasing the level of serotonin in your brain, which is a “happy” chemical and this helps make your feel good and relaxed!
