In each pod we dissolve 500kg of extremely high quality Epsom Salt. Although there is contention in academic circles, numerous studies have shown that Magnesium and Sulfate are both absorbed through the skin, making soaking in Epsom salt an easy and ideal way to enjoy the amazing health benefits. Magnesium plays a number of roles in the body including regulating the activity of over 325 enzymes, reducing inflammation, helping muscle and nerve function and helping to prevent artery hardening. Sulfates help improve the absorption of nutrients, flush toxins and help ease migraine headaches.
Stress drains the body of magnesium and increases levels of adrenaline. The magnesium in Epsom Salt helps to produce serotonin, a naturally occurring ‘mood-elevating’ chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of calm and relaxation. Research shows that magnesium also increases energy and stamina by encouraging the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy packets made in the cells. Experts believe that soaking in Epsom salt at least three times a week helps you to look better, feel better and gain more energy. Magnesium ions also relax and reduce irritability by lowering the effects of adrenaline. As well as creating a relaxed feeling, Epsom Salts absorbed through the skin improve sleep and concentration, and help muscles and nerves to function properly.
The sulfates in Epsom salt help flush toxins and heavy metals from the cells, easing muscle pain and helping the body to eliminate harmful substances. Your skin is a highly porous membrane and adding the right minerals to your body triggers a process called reverse osmosis, which actually pulls salt out of your body, as well as harmful toxins along with it! Epsom salt absorption helps to ease pain and relieve inflammation, making it beneficial in the treatment of sore muscles, bronchial asthma and migraine headaches.
