Most people have heard it at least once in their lives. They are complaining
that their back is hurting, and a friend or family member responds, “Why
don’t you go take a bath? Throw some Epsom salt in it, too. It will
help you feel better.” Although some have already tried it, many
don’t why it actually works. We are here to explain just that.
How Epsom Salts Work
When a person uses a bath as a way to treat their bodies, they are actually
participating in a
hydrotherapy treatment. Although a normal hot or warm bubble bath can help release
tension from tight muscles, you can get more out of your bath by adding
Epsom salts in the mix.
Some studies show that soaking in a warm bath with Epsom salts can provide
the following benefits:
- Help you detoxify
- Help you recover from minor injuries, pains, and aches
- Reduce inflammation of the joints
Science shows that this salt, which is actually made of magnesium ions,
disintegrates in water and relieves stresses and pains by increasing the
production of serotonin and decreasing the effects of adrenaline. Additionally,
the magnesium sulfate, also found within Epsom salt, can help regulate
the fluid retention of cells and assist the body’s use of calcium.
Although Epsom salts can offer a temporary remedy for those suffering from
minor back pains, it is wise to visit an experienced chiropractor if you
are suffering from chronic discomfort of the back or neck. A skillful
chiropractor will be able to assess your condition and determine what
treatments can be most useful for you.
