Epsom Salt Baths For Lymph And Skin Detox

Epsom salt baths help increase lymphatic flow and improve drainage by increasing circulation. They also cause you to sweat which helps release toxins out your pores and promote clear skin.

Epsom salt contains magnesium and sulfates. Magnesium plays a critical role in over 325 enzymes, helps improve muscle and nerve function, decreases inflammation, and improves blood flow and oxygenation throughout the body. (1) Needless to say it’s important!

You can actually absorb and utilize magnesium from epsom salt baths. And since most people are deficient in magnesium, finding ways to get more can benefit most people.

Sulfates are necessary building blocks for healthy joints, skin, and nervous tissue. Sulfates can also be absorbed and utilized from epsom salt baths. (1)

Baths can also be very relaxing and de-stressing. And in a world with so much stress, finding ways to de-stress is one of the most important things we can do for our health, longevity, and vitality.

How To Do An Epsom Salt Bath

1) Fill the bath with the hottest water you can tolerate.

2) Add 1/2 cup – 2 cups epsom salts into the running water. Use less if you’re a beginner or are smaller.

3) Soak for at least 20 minutes. Get out before the water turns cold.

4) Rinse your body before getting out.
