Elixir Gardens Organic FCC Food Epsom Bath Salts | 10KG Bucket/TUB | Magnesium Sulphate

I wanted to make sure I had plenty of this so ordered the 10kg tub, knowing it would be large. I just didn’t fully appreciate how large! Amazing value for the amount, I just need to find somewhere to keep it now. Very useful to have the sealed tub rather than just a huge bag of it. The salts inside are sealed in plastic as well so can’t get damp or spill in transit or if you don’t use it straight away.The actual product is as described, very relaxing for both mood and muscles in a bath.As I have plenty, I am going to try doing some DIY bath salt bags based on some I’ve had in the past. Apparently you can pop some in little muslin bags with essential oils, citrus peel or petals etc and they can be put straight in the bath to dissolve without making a mess. As it is unscented, it should be perfect to use for this.

Godsend whilst i suffered with Sciatic pain and back and leg spasms for 6 weeks.I just filled the bath with hot water, added the salts ( about half a pint ) nothing else was added. Got in when right temp! Soaked for 25 - 35 mins. Wow! What a relief !! Helped me overcome debilitating spasms. Used every other day for about 5 weeks. Help speed up my recovery as im 57 years old. I slept better the days i used it, but didnt want to over do it!Not easy to recover from sciatic pain in 8 weeks at my age.Best Product I bought this year on Amazon, Because i felt it working from the very first bath soak. Got another tub, but for a weekly soak, cos i love it, and so does the missus and her daughter to de-stress after the gym.Natural Minerals are Gods Gift!

These Epsom salts are terrific value. I am now on my second 5KG bucket and since I use two cupfuls in my bath I do tend to get through them farly quickly (although I only bath twice a week - don't panic, I shower on the other days). Epsom salts are called after a spring in Surrey, England. The chemical name is magnesium-sulphate and they are useful for all sorts of things. There is nothing like a blissful soak to ease the aches and pains of everyday life, but Epsom salts do far more than just that. A quick look on the web will list tons of benefits, but here's just a few. They aid with reducing water retention and are a good aid to weight loss. Since the skin is porous one of the best way of getting magnesium into the body is directly through the pores. They act as a kind of detox drawing out all sorts of impurities, whilst bestowing all the benefits of the magnesium. The magnesium ions break apart from Epsom salt molecules and begin to relieve stress by promoting the production of serotonin and reducing the effects of adrenaline. They make a terrific muscle soother and can also help lessen inflammation, soothe headaches and help with absominal craps. Use as a foot soak (great for Gout) or facial scrub (if you mix them with your favourite cleanser). Importantly, Epsom salts also aid in many enzymatic functions and facilitate the body’s use of calcium to transmit chemical signals throughout the nervous system.There are different grades of Epsom Salts, some of which (not these) can be taken internally and can be used as a liver flush or a laxative. It doesn't taste very nice, but nothing that's good for you does! These should be a staple in any household. They're completly natural and nature has a habit of knowing best.

This magnesium salt is fabulous for bathing, to rid muscle pain after work outs, after a long day to relax in a warm bath, can also be used as a salt scrub mixed with a carrier oil. Bargain price too, it'll last me a while. Really does the job well. I'd highly recommend

Be careful how much you buy i've bought enough to last me a lifetime

This is a white plastic bucket with a re-sealable lid, filled with 10kg of Epsom Salt, generically organic magnesium sulphate (MgSO4). As such it’s a large, heavy item and you will need sufficient space to store it in the bathroom or other location. You scoop the magnesium flakes into the bathwater and then soak in it.The bio-science is inconclusive, but it’s accepted that magnesium is a vital mineral for health and especially for good immune system function. Modern city lifestyles, stress and processed food can lead quickly to Mg depletion. Soaking in Mg flakes is certainly therapeutic & relaxing and leaves your skin feeling rejuvenated and fresh. Since we started using it a few weeks ago, we both sleep more soundly and wake up refreshed and full of energy.One caution: if you leave the lid off the bucket, the MgSO4 flakes absorb moisture from the atmosphere (especially in a bathroom where the air often fs full of moisture) and go hard as a rock, sitting in a pool of milky-coloured liquid. This doesn’t affect the MgSO4 chemically but changes its consistency when handling it.Also be aware that if you use this product regularly, then over time you’re going to accumulate a collection of empty, lidded plastic buckets!Verdict: good product and very good value.

Worth the buy if you have magnesium baths or use in your garden. Must more economical than buying a small pack.

At the moment I’m soaking my feet in Epsom salts & I find this relaxing & helpful for sleeping
