5 Benefits of Epsom Salt Baths

Looking for a way to unwind without the wine? I’ve got you covered!

One of my favorite ways to unwind after a long day is a nice hot epsom salt bath. This practice is incredibly healing and nourishing for my body and soul.

Epsom salts are a great addition to your typical bath routine, and can be incredibly soothing for the body. These salts help to alleviate aches and pain, perfect after a long workout or tough yoga class. Epsom salts also help to heal tired muscles and even promote recovery, sounds ideal for anyone who is active.

If you suffer from sore muscles, inflammation, sprains, stiff joints, skin irritations, or stress epsom salts bath may really help you heal and destress. I always feel more relaxed after a bath! I soften the lighting, sometimes I read or listen to music…I create an atmosphere of soothing and healing vibrations.

An added bonus…epsom salts are high in magnesium. Surprisingly, the majority of Americans are deficient in magnesium. This mineral is essential for proper functioning of the body and is vital in many energies pathways in body, epsom salts are an excellent way to boost magnesium levels in the body.

I typically add 2 cups of epsom salts to my bath, and soak for about 20 minutes.
