Health benefits of epsom salts

In the earlier years, American used to eat too much sugar, salt and fat. They used too much chemicals in their agriculture. The soil where they grew plants is now depleted. All these things created more and more diseases among people. These illnesses include heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, arthritis, digestive maladies, chronic tiredness etc. Most of these conditions are actually caused by stress on one hand and the loss of magnesium on the other hand.

Epson salt is magnesium sulfate and thus can help us increase magnesium levels in our bodies. Stress causes our body to produce too much adrenaline and this process then causes depletion of magnesium. Magnesium aids our body in binding serotonin which then help us feel happy and relaxed. If one has got enough magnesium in body they will less suffer from heart and circulatory problems. Magnesium will help our bodies to use insulin and thus prevent diabetes ( if one has diabetes it will help easing it too). Magnesium will aid in having enough calcium in the blood thus it is essential for our bones, too. Epsom salt can also treat gout inflammation of our feet and joints (addsome to your bath tub and soak affected parts in it for about half anhour). Epsom salts are known to improve nerve function (they regulate electrolytes).
