Why Does It Work?
Epsom salts deliver sulphates, which medical research indicates are needed for the formation of brain tissue, joint proteins and the mucin proteins that lie in the wall of the digestive tract. Studies have shown that sulphates also stimulate the pancreas to generate digestive enzymes and help detoxify the body of residual medicines and environmental contaminants.
Sulphates can be absorbed through the digestive tract, from many foods, however drugs, and medical conditions can interfere with the effectiveness of the delivery method. Studies indicate that sulphates are easily absorbed through the skin. Therefore, soaking in Epsom salts is one of the most easily available means of meeting your bodies needs.
