Why Epsom salt bath is good for us?

Epsom salt is a preparation of magnesium sulphate, named in 18th century for the town of Epsom in Southern England where the salt were originally obtained from a local mineral spring.
Epsom salts is widely used to ease stress, reduce headaches, improve sleep, decrease muscle tension and soreness, and detoxify the body. A large function component of Epsom salts is magnesium, an element that is vital to many of the body’s physiological functions.
Magnesium helps regulate electrolyte levels and is necessary for good cardiovascular and nervous system function. Its role in calcium regulation is not well publicized but magnesium is vital in skeletal and heart muscle contraction and in healthy blood clotting. It also plays a role in stress management and mental health, since it is important in the production and maintenance of serotonin (a neurochemical involved in a balancing mood).
