Salt baths help keep toes pretty! How? By preventing toenail fungus! "Fungi love heat and humidity, which Epsom salts counter by acting as a powerful drying agent," says nutrition researcher Ray Sahelian, M.D.
Everyone's heard that soaking in an Epsom salt bath can help relieve sore muscles. But isn't that just an old wives' tale? NO! New research reveals that magnesium from the salt is absorbed from the bathwater through your skin. That's exciting news for 2 reasons: First, magnesium relaxes muscles throughout the body, and second, statistics show that 75% of us don't get enough of this critical mineral!
HOW TO DO IT: Add 1-2 cups of Epsom salts to warm bath water and relax in the tub for at least 12 minutes.
