Relax Your Body

Epsom salts are easily absorbed into the skin where the magnesium ions in he salt break apart and begin to relieve stress by promoting the production of serotin and reducing the effects of adrenaline. Magnesium can give the feeling of rejuvenation, without restlessness and anxiety.
