Magical salts

I am addicted to Epsom salts. They are magical salts that somehow make my tired, sore or aching muscles feel immensely better after a long, or hard, ride.

Epsom salts are named for the mineral rich waters of Epsom, England, where they were known at least as far back as Shakespeare's day. When bathing, the magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) is absorbed through the skin and is an inexpensive and natural way to reduce stress, treat skin problems, and draw toxins from the body.

It has been a long time remedy natural remedy for a number of ailments. An Epsom salt bath is known to relieve aching limbs, muscle strain and back pain. In addition, it has been known to heal cuts and relieve colds and congestion. Furthermore, Epsom salt will flush toxins and heavy metals from the body.

It is a natural stress reliever too. Stress drains the body of magnesium. An Epsom salt bath absorbs magnesium into our body thus helping to relieve stress. The magnesium helps to produce adequate amounts of serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of calm and relaxation.

If you have not tried Epsom salts, you should. Once you start using them you will become a believer, like me. There is nothing better to relieve tired or sore muscles. Trust me.
