What are Epsom salts?

Epsom salts are compounds of magnesium and sulfate and is found in crystalized form as well as in powder form. The lack of this compound in our bodies is creating a lot of health issues. The lack of Epsom salts occurring due to the excessive leaching of minerals from agriculture lands due to the use of modern agriculture technologies. Due to this our bodies are not able to consume important salts like magnesium and other related trace elements, which are casing different complicated diseases. The consumption of processed foods is another reason for the lack of magnesium in our bodies.

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.[2]
