Epsom Bath Salts
Epsom Salts are a compound believed to have great health benefits. Many people, including some healthcare professionals, claim Epsom salt is therapeutic and use it as an alternative treatment for several conditions.
These salts promote sleep and stress reduction. Adequate magnesium levels are essential for sleep and stress management, likely because magnesium helps your brain produce neurotransmitters that induce sleep and reduce stress. Magnesium may also help your body produce melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep. These salts are also great for reducing muscle soreness and relieving cramps. Grab some here.
