A salt detox isn’t the same as pouring table salt into your bathtub. Salt detox baths are usually made of Epsom salt, which allows for minerals to “draw out” toxins from the body. Supporters may claim that soaking in an Epsom salt bath can remove harmful toxins and balance the body. They may also say that it helps with:
weight management
gaining relief from sore muscles
increased health
relaxation
Epsom salt has reportedly been used for over 400 years, ever since an English farmer discovered that the “bitter water” in his wells had remarkable healing properties on skin rashes and injuries. Read on to learn about the benefits of Epsom salt and how to use it in a bath.
What are the benefits of an Epsom salt detox?
Magnesium absorption is the biggest benefit of an Epsom salt bath. There needs to be more studies to confirm that your body can absorb magnesium across the skin, but one 2004 study looked at 19 participants and found increased levels of magnesium and sulfate in the blood after the baths.
Benefits Method How it works:
*softer skin 20-minute bath soak may soften skin, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the skin barrier to keep skin hydrated.
*muscle soreness and pain 12-minute bath soak reduces inflammation, muscle aches, and tension; there’s moderate evidence that magnesium can reduce muscle cramps.
*relaxation and anti-stress 1-hour bath soak can help relieve stress (magnesium deficiency may induce anxiety, depression, and stress)
*magnesium balance 12 to 20-minute soak might restore magnesium (this may benefit people who are at risk for low levels, including those with fibromyalgia)
