The Story of Epsom Salt

The name Epsom salt came from the town Epsom, England where in 1618 a farmer's cows refused to drink the local water because of its bitter taste. Besides the taste, the farmer also noticed that after applying the water to scratches and rashes they healed quickly. The taste of the water, and the healing powers, proved to be the result of its natural Magnesium Sulfate content. Word spread and over the course of time magnesium sulfate has proven to play an important role in soothing muscle aches and pains, exfoliating dead skin cells, relieving sore feet, improving sleep, and reducing stress.
