How Does Epsom Salt Work?

Last Updated: September 8, 2023 by Joan Clark

How does Epsom salt work? Is it good for other things than soaking your feet?

Emily McFadden, Americus, Georgia

This popular home remedy is composed of two essential minerals: sulfur and magnesium. If you want to know how does Epsom salt work, check out this page:https://www.tipsbulletin.com/epsom-salt-uses-home-and-garden/In the meantime, I’ll give you a quick overview.

First, you’re right; it’s great for soaking your feet or for relaxing stiff muscles in a bath. Plus, Epsom salt can treat athlete’s foot as well as bruises and sprains. Moreover, it softens the skin to remove splinters with ease.

If you’re itching from psoriasis, try a lukewarm bath with Epsom salt. The magnesium blocks pain receptors. It can also help you exfoliate dead skin.

Some people like to use Epsom salt with egg white, honey, thyme oil, and aloe to serve as a purifying face mask. Others use Epsom salt mixed into their preferred face wash to perform gentle exfoliation and cleanse blackheads.

After that, you could try Epsom salt when you wash your hair to remove excess oil from your scalp and add volume to your hair.

While those are all common uses for Epsom salt, you can also employ it for cleaning the house. It gets rid of the gunky buildup in washing machine drawers. Plus, it makes a non-damaging scrub for bathroom tiles. Mix with water and vinegar for a great cleaner.

Next, if you have a garden, you’ll want to stock up on Epsom salt because it protects against slugs and raccoons that will eat your plants.

Furthermore, it acts as a herbicide for weeds, as you can make a simple vinegar and Epsom salt weed killer to get rid of crabgrass and other annoying plants, as well as eliminate unsightly tree stumps over time. However, in smaller doses, use Epsom salt for vegetables, fruits, and other ornamental plants. Epsom salt fertilizes tomatoes and peppers, in addition to roses and other flowers. Epsom salt is good for roses, in particular, and gives them the nutrients they need for bigger, healthier, and more abundant flowers.

Interestingly, Epsom salt can make the grass greener, and it helps roses thrive. Just be sure to follow the recommended doses. Epsom salt in large doses is an excellent tree root killer for those trees you chop down, although it does take a little time to work.

In summary, the inexpensive household product that is Epsom salt is all-around useful, inside and outside your home. I hope it helps you in many ways.
