There are no definitive studies showing that magnesium can be absorbed through your skin in sufficient amounts to address potential deficiencies of the mineral.
Epsom salt may help your bath become even more relaxing by soothing tired muscles and easing stress.Even though magnesium sulfate has been used intravenously to treat muscle spasms and tetanus (a disease that causes muscle contractions), the million dollar question for runners is: Can the active ingredients in Epsom salt penetrate your skin and aid in muscle recovery?
Still, we know that people deficient in magnesium can experience painful muscle cramps and chronic inflammation. Taking this type of bath probably won't hurt you, but if you have health concerns, check with your doctor first.
If you choose to use bath salts, it is recommended to select a high-quality, natural product and follow the instructions on the packaging carefully. This warming, stimulating blend combines 100% natural pure essential oils of pain-relieving Eucalyptus, invigorating Peppermint, warming Black Pepper and uplifting Rosemary to help soothe the discomfort of overworked, tired muscles.
