Epsom Salt

Nutritional Benefit: Epsom is a great supplement of magnesium which is a major requirement by the body for many processes. People suffering from diabetes and PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) usually have low magnesium levels due to which sugar cannot enter the cell.

Therapeutic Benefit: Magnesium sulfate in epsom improves insulin secretion and relieves gout-related aches and pain by relieving muscle tension in people who regularly performed Epsom salt bath.
