The Reason It Works

Epsom Salt is made up of crystalline magnesium sulfate that gently exfoliates skin and smoothes rough places. Mix with a conditioner, to help add body to hair. Dissolve in a bath to be absorbed into the skin to restore magnesium to the body. Research shows this compound reduces stress by:

• Increasing serotonin, a neurotransmitter responsible for feelings of well being and relaxation.
• Lowering excess adrenaline caused by stress, resulting in relaxed feelings and reduced irritability.
• Aiding regulation of electrical nerve function.
• Lowering blood pressure.

Research also indicates magnesium elevates energy and stamina by encouraging adenosine triphosphate or ATP production, the major energy -transfer molecule within cells. Soak in Epsom Salt a minimum of three times a week to look and feel better as well as to increase energy.
