Epsom salts, also known as fig salts or by their chemical name as magnesium sulfate, are a natural remedy and exfoliant used to treat multiple pains and organic problems.

Since they contain magnesium, they can help in the treatment of diseases caused by the lack of this mineral.

Having adequate levels of magnesium promotes good overall health. In fact, one of the most common medical problems is magnesium deficiency or hypomagnesemia, which can be the result of alcohol abuse, malnutrition, severe diarrhea or high levels of calcium, resulting in heart disease, chronic fatigue, digestive disorders, osteoporosis and psychological problems.

The magnesium that is part of these salts can be absorbed through the skin, either by putting your feet in water with Epsom salts or taking a relaxing bath.

Good levels of magnesium in the body allow more than 300 fundamental enzymes that are behind organic functions and good muscle control to be correctly synthesized.
