History:
Magnesium Sulfate, commonly known as epsom salts was discovered in 1618 when a farmer in Epsom, England found that his cows were unhappy drinking the water due to its bitter taste. He noticed that the water healed scratches and rashes, and it didn't take long before local lore and word of mouth spread the word. Magnesium sulfate is found in a number of locations, primarily in the salt water of the oceans and within geological environments (i.e. mines). Magnesium Sulfate was originally prepared from mineral water in Epsom, England. Today it is obtained mostly from mining operations.
Uses:
Traditionally magnesium sulfate is used as a laxative, to ease stress, improve sleep and concentration, support muscle and nerve function, help prevent artery hardening and blood clots, make insulin more effective, reduce inflammation to relieve pain and muscle cramps, improve oxygen use, and to Improve energy levels as well as many other things. But recent medical studies have found that magnesium sulfate can also be nebulized or injected to treat severe symptoms of asthma.
