The origin of Epsom salt dates back to the 17th century, when people went to drink the waters of Epsom, which was the first spa in England. These mineral-rich waters were reputed to be purgative.
Commonly called Epsom salt, it is also known by its chemical name: magnesium sulphate. The term Epsom is a tribute to a village with exactly the same name in England, where it was once used in harvesting.
The antiseptic and fortifying qualities were not yet known, but it was understood that it was somehow beneficial to health and promoted longevity. It was later discovered through various uses and experiments that Epsom salt could also be used to prevent sclerosis, kidney problems, rheumatism and also overweight. Today it is most often used outdoors, in a hot bath, to eliminate toxins and relieve certain pains due to an imbalance of acidity in the body. A good bath is therefore very beneficial in the recovery process after physical exertion!
Nowadays, it is obtained from natural minerals, coming from underground deposits. Purification is carried out by a physical process followed by recrystallisation. Epsom salt has antiseptic properties that accelerate healing, restore tired muscles and promote general relaxation.
