Aches and pains Quote by Gina 'The Veggie Goddess' Matthews
““Epsom Salt - Don't underestimate the powerful healing effects of regular Epsom salt. Soaking in hot water infused with Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) boosts blood levels of the ever important mineral magnesium, by as much as 35% in just 1 week. Magnesium is a critical mineral that too many people are deficient in. If you suffer from muscle tightness, stiffness, spasms, aches and pains, then buying Epsom salt in bulk and adding it to a hot bath 3 times a week, will bring magical relief to your discomfort. The magnesium in Epsom salt will also bring much wanted relief to those who find themselves in a chronic state of tension, stress and anxiety. The human body requires magnesium to manufacture the 2 enzymes quinone reductase, and glutathione S-transferase, both of which assist in neutralizing and eliminating chemical toxins. Being deficient in magnesium, puts a significant damper on your body’s detoxification abilities. Magnesium also plays a critical role in regulating nerve and muscle activity, to help shield the body against the ravages and dangerous cumulative effects of stress. Add 2-4 cups of pure Epsom salt to a hot bath several times a week, and see for yourself the incredible difference it makes. Epsom salt baths can often turn even the most "bath-shy" guy, into a tub lover. Most people can enjoy these detoxifying baths as often as they like. The exception would be for those who suffer from any type of heart condition, epilepsy, narcolepsy, and pregnant women, all of whom, should only use bath therapy under the guidance and care of their health care provider.””
