Benefits of Using Epsom Salts

by Dawn Moeller, LAc

When you come into our clinic, we often recommend taking an Epsom salt bath after your treatment. Here are a few reasons why:
– The sulfates found in Epsom salts can help flush out built-up toxins
– Magnesium in the salt acts as a muscle relaxer, breaking down the lactic acid caused by strenuous movement and exercise
– Soaking in an Epsom salt bath helps soothe tired muscles and reduce swelling

Just dissolve 2 cups of Epsom salts in warm water and soak for 20 minutes to feel all of these benefits. Give us a call to schedule a treatment, and you can pick up a bag while you’re in!

Some common conditions that Epsom salts can help alleviate:

• Sore muscles
• Sprains
• Stiff joints/arthritis
• Swelling
• Bruises
• Stress
• Sunburns
• Insomnia
