Benefits of Magnesium Chloride/Epsom Salts Bathing

Updated: Dec 25, 2019

Stress drains the body of magnesium and increases levels of adrenaline. Magnesium ions found in Magnesium Chloride (or Epsom salts) relax the body and reduce irritability by lowering the effects of adrenaline. When dissolved in warm water, it is absorbed through the skin replenishing the level of magnesium in the body. The magnesium also helps to produce serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates feelings of calm and relaxation. Increased relaxation improves sleep quality which will help muscles and nerves to function properly, increasing energy and stamina.


Experts believe that bathing with Magnesium Chloride (or Epsom salts) at least three times a week helps you to look better, feel better and quite frankly function much better.
