Epsome salt is for soaking of sore, achy muscles, sprains and minor brusing. It can also be used for a short term saline laxative. I soak in it atleast 1time a month to help relieve some of the tightness in my legs and back. Salt is used as a seasoning for food purposes. It has iodine in it which is a nutrient that we need...
