Health benefits of Epsom salt: 1- Treating constipation: Epsom salt has a laxative and anti-constipation effect, as it stimulates bowel movements, making stool easier to pass, within 30 minutes of taking it with water, and its effect lasts for 6 hours afterward. Mix an amount of 2-6 teaspoons of Epsom salt in a quarter liter of water, and lemon can be added to improve its bitter taste. Drink it twice a day only. You can take the salt twice daily without worry. But leave at least 4 hours between the two doses. You can continue taking the solution for up to four days. If you do not feel the need to defecate after four days or if constipation persists, consult a doctor. 2- Increasing relaxation of the body: Some people suffering from stress and muscle tension may benefit from taking an Epsom salt bath. 3- Improving sleep quality: Low magnesium levels are associated with increased anxiety and inability to sleep. Epsom salt increases magnesium levels in the body, which in turn leads to a desire to relax and sleep. 4- Relieving muscle pain: Epsom salt helps eliminate toxins that worsen inflammation, and also helps reduce tension and pain associated with many conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and others. Taking an Epsom salt bath also helps relieve muscle cramps after exercising. 5- Skin exfoliation: Taking a 20-minute bath with Epsom salt helps exfoliate dry skin cells and makes the skin less thick, which may help reduce the symptoms of inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. 6- Improving foot health: Soaking the feet in water with Epsom salt for 12 minutes can help treat athlete’s foot and ingrown toenails. The water and Epsom salt soak can also help reduce foul foot odor. 7- Pain relief: Epsom salt can be used topically to relieve irritation and pain caused by sunburns and insect bites.
