Link to download list of benefits of Epsom SaltsEpsom Salts possess an enormous array of health benefits and applications ranging from the treatment of arthritis pain and swelling, bruises and sprains, insomnia, sore muscles, sunburn, and tired swollen feet.
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body, the first being Calcium. It is involved in more than 325 biochemical reactions that benefit your heart and nervous system.

Many people do not consume enough magnesium. Even if you do, factors such as dietary phytates and oxalates can interfere with how much your body absorbs. While Magnesium Sulfate has value as a Magnesium supplement, some people claim that Magnesium may be better absorbed via Epsom salt baths than when taken by mouth.

Clean detergent build-up on washing machines - Fill the machine tub with hot water, add Epsom salt, and run an agitate/soak/agitate cycle to dissolve detergent build-up (please consult your machine's instruction manual for specific instructions).

HEALTHY PLANTS
Prevent slugs - Sprinkle Epsom salt on or near interior entry points to prevent slugs.
Fertilize your houseplants - Most plants need nutrients like Magnesium and sulfur to stay in good health and Epsom salt makes the primary nutrients in most plant foods (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) more effective. Sprinkle Epsom salt once weekly to help nourish your houseplants, flowers, and vegetables.
Keep your lawn green - Magnesium Sulfate crystals, when added to the soil, provide vital nutrients that help prevent yellowing leaves and the loss of green colour (Magnesium is an essential element in the chlorophyll molecule) in plants. Add 2 tablespoons of Epsom salt to a ~4 liters of water and sprinkle on your lawn to keep the grass healthy and green.
Insecticide spray - Use Epsom salts on your lawn and in your garden to safely and naturally get rid of plant pests.
