The global consumption of the Epsom salt is about 2.3 million tons per year. Most of it is used in agriculture. However, Epsom salt can also be used for a number of domestic uses. A few of these are discussed as follows:
1. Epsom Salt Foot Scrub
The Epsom salt is an excellent exfoliative. It would effectively remove any hard or dead skin. Soaking the feet in warm water before applying a handful of salts will do the trick. In addition, soaking for an additional 20 minutes will eliminate any foot odor and relieve off any aches and pains.
2. Sprains, Bruises and Aches
Epsom salts are very good at removing any toxins from the body. Adding two cups of Epsom salts to a warm bath would relieve you of any swelling, aches and bruises.
3. Sunburn
Applying a solution of one tablespoon Epsom salts in half a teacup of warm water, to the sun-burnt areas would sooth the skin immediately.
4. Greasy and Lank Hair
Epsom salts can also be applied to greasy hair to absorb all the grease out of it. Adding nine tablespoons of Epsom salt to half a cup of your shampoo and then using the solution would do the trick.
In addition, making a solution of equal parts of salt and conditioner, warming it and then applying to dry hair will also deal with the dryness. Only keeping it on for 20 minutes before rinsing can make them much bouncy and voluminous.
5. Weight Loss
Epsom draws out toxins and treat constipation and bloating. This will keep the bowels healthy, therefore speeding up the weight loss process.
Note: Use only the amount of salt suggested. Excessive use of the salt can cause side-effects.
