Epsom salt got the name from a salty, bitter spring in Surrey, England and it’s formed from magnesium sulfate and 7 water molecules.
Epsom salt is simply miraculous and it can be used for almost anything. You can use it for sore muscles, to treat small wounds, dry skin, for inflammations and even for some illnesses. It’s also the best natural exfoliant.
