Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulphate) Soaks can be extremely
helpful for many muscular conditions and are often recommended.

Amongst many other functions Magnesium helps

• keep heartbeat steady
• regulate blood sugar levels
• maintain proper blood pressure
• nerve and muscle function
• bind serotonin (mood-enhancing factor in the brain) which
  results in a feeling of wellbeing.

Similarly Sulphates are required amongst other things for

• joint health
• digestive processes
• connections in brain processes

An Epsom salt soak

• helps to reduce swelling / pain of muscle strain
• relaxes
• can be mood-elevating

Soaking in a warm (not hot) bath containing 1 - 2 cups of Epsom Salts
once or twice a week can be an excellent aid to easing aches and
pains.   If you do this last thing before going to bed you may have a
better night’s sleep.

Feet / hands / elbows can be soaked in a bucket of warm water
containing a cup of Epsom Salts if bathing is a problem.
