What is Epsom Salt?

Epsom salt is made of magnesium and sulfate. These two nutrients are not found in other salts, so there is no substitute for Epsom salt.

Epsom salt has been used for agriculture, food preparation, chemistry, aquatic life, and for holistic healing.

When it comes to the effects of these salts, they actually have a lot in common. They are much more similar than they are different, but the small differences they have make Epsom salt the better choice for holistic healing.

These other ingredients can be anything and often include perfumes and lotions. Epsom salt does not contain any additives. One of the primary reasons for floating in Epsom salt is to raise magnesium levels. This effect cannot be gained from ordinary bath salts.
