<\/h4>\n<\/h4>\nFoot soaks, containing salts and minerals, are so fun to make. Not to mention, they offer instant relaxation. Many who use mineral salts for detox baths, report relief from aches and pains, reduced inflammation, improve circulation and healing of a variety of ailments. Epsom and Himalayan Sea Salts have been used for centuries for different health remedies. \u00a0However, I wanted to take a deeper look at how a simple foot detox can be beneficial.<\/p>\n
The three ingredients I like to use in my foot soaks are Epsom Salt, Magnesium Flakes and Himalayan Sea Salts. I like to combine them together as I believe they all offer benefits in a different way. Epsom salts<\/strong> are crystals of hydrated magnesium sulfate used for sore muscles, body aches, laxatives or medical use. Magnesium flakes (or salts) <\/b>are\u00a0Magnesium Chloride. Even though Epsom salts are a form of magnesium, the magnesium flakes have a different molecular structure. Magnesium Chloride is able to be absorbed into the body much easier than Epsom salts, making the effects much more intense.\u00a0Himalayan sea salt<\/strong> is a red rock salt mined in Pakistan. The red rock salt contains a great amount of natural minerals that the body loves to soak up. Soaking in these salts can help balance the body\u2019s PH levels and aid in detox.<\/p>\n Magnesium deficiency in the body can often lead to foot and leg cramps. These muscle spasms can be annoying and painful. A refreshing detox foot bath allows for magnesium absorption through the skin. Topical magnesium has personally helped my own aches and pains. I often use detox bath salts<\/a> for my whole body, especially if I have sore muscles or am fighting a cold. In my opinion, the bath salts and foot soaks relax muscles and lessen discomfort. For that reason, I use them often.<\/p>\n<\/section>\nTHE BENEFITS<\/h4>\n
