What are the benefits of Epsom salts?

People always use some special materials in their lives, most of which are chemicals. Various chemicals play an extremely important role in people's safe use, among which medical use is the most widespread. For example, Epsom salt is a commonly used chemical substance that plays a very good role in people's lives. Let's take a look at the effects of Epsom salt.

Epsom salt, whose chemical name is magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, is different from table salt or coarse salt in that it does not contain sodium and therefore cannot be eaten. In daily life, Epsom salt has many special uses, and runners can also use it.

1. Relieve pain

The magnesium in Epsom salts has anti-inflammatory properties and can help runners reduce muscle soreness. Take a warm bath after your run and put two cups of Epsom salts in the bathtub, which will release magnesium when it comes into contact with warm water.

2. Remove thorns

What should you do if you accidentally get your finger pricked by a splinter or other sharp object while cross-country running and you can't pull it out? Dip your fingers in a cup of melted Epsom salt and the wood splinters will soon become larger and easier to pull out.

3. Clean tiles and grout

Epsom salt has a coarse texture, so it is a great choice for cleaning tile and grout. Add some Epsom salt to the detergent, dissolve it for a few minutes, and then scrub the tiles. The decontamination effect is very obvious.

4. Clean the pot

Whether it is a frying pan or a baking pan, burnt parts often appear when cooking, which are generally difficult to clean. However, this problem can be easily solved with a mixture of dishwashing liquid and Epsom salts.

5. Wash your feet and exfoliate

In fact, not only washing feet, but washing any part of the body with Epsom salt can remove dead skin cells. When using, mix the Epsom salts and coconut oil to not only exfoliate, but also make your skin appear soft and smooth.

6. Create a long wavy hairstyle

This is more practical for women. Mix Epsom salt and aloe vera gel together to create a long wavy hairstyle. Add some almond oil to moisturize the hair.

7. Flower and grass fertilizer

Epsom salt is mainly composed of sulfate and magnesium. The magnesium is equivalent to organic fertilizer for flowers, plants and vegetables, promoting seed germination and chlorophyll production.
