Lavender & Epsom salts: An at home recipe

 
Epsom salts are medicinal and very different to your standard table salt. Made up of magnesium, sulphur and oxygen. Releasing sulphate ions and magnesium this will have so many benefits for your wellbeing.  We do not consume enough magnesium and this is one way for it to contribute to our wellbeing.
 

What can we learn from Magnesium?

A decent amount of magnesium is needed and is essential for sleep and stress. This is because magnesium helps the brain produce neurotransmitters. This induces sleep and reduces stress.
Remember our mention of the importance of sleep?  Magnesium can also help your body produce melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep. As you absorb the Epsom salts through your skin, you will inevitably absorb the magnesium. Having a bath also promotes relaxation, so there is no excuse!
