What is Epsom salt?
Epsom salt is also called :

- English salt.

- Bitter salts.
In 1618, an English farmer living in Epsom discovered a water hole in which his cows refused to drink. He received the intuition that it was medicinal water. The inhabitants began to dip their wounds and aching limbs in it, with success. Epsom became famous for its thermal spring enriched with magnesium sulfate.
The salt is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water.
This mineral is made up of 3 essential trace elements:

Epsom salt crystals are extracted from underground deposits, before being purified and recrystallized.
