🛁 Benefits of an Epsom Salt Bath for Mental Health and Wellness

Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) baths have been used for centuries to promote relaxation and support well-being. Here are some commonly reported benefits:

✅ Relaxation & Stress Relief

Magnesium may help the body produce serotonin, promoting a feeling of calm and well-being.

✅ Soothes Sore Muscles & Joints

Ideal after physical activity or a long day, the warm bath combined with magnesium may help ease muscle tension and reduce inflammation.

✅ Improves Sleep

Soaking before bedtime can help calm the nervous system and support a more restful night’s sleep.

✅ Skin Health

Epsom salt may help exfoliate the skin and ease irritation from conditions like eczema or psoriasis.

✅ Detox Support

Some believe Epsom salt baths help draw out toxins through the skin (though research is limited).
