Soaking in Epsom salts using a bath or foot spa can be one of the most indulgent ways to improve your health. Not only is it a great way to luxuriate in some self-care, but it’s also a great way to top up your magnesium levels and support your detoxification pathways, all while relaxing. And if you’ve had a particularly arduous workout and your muscles are aching, an Epsom salts bath is one of the best ways to relieve some of the pain. Epsom salts can also help to relieve the itch from insect bites.
