5 Reasons Why You Should Use Epsom Salts in Your Bath

Epsom salts are a real game changer to your bath-time routine. This is especially true if you exercise regularly and intensely. The team here at Westlab are proud to be the leading Epsom salt brand in the UK. Which is why this blog post is dedicated to the benefits of our well-loved Epsom salts and why you should use them in your baths!

Epsom salts have a wide variety of benefits to your mind, body, and well-being.

1. Baths support muscle recovery

If you’re someone that works out a lot, and notice you have sore and aching muscles quite often then Epsom bath salts are perfect. These salts provide relief from delayed onset muscle stiffness (DOMS), a pain that regular gym goers and athletes know all too well. 

Soak in a relaxing bath combined with the effects of Epsom salts is the ideal way to prevent DOMS. We recommend pouring around 2-4 cups into a warm bath and relaxing for around 20 minutes. 

2. Relaxes your body

Epsom salts are made of magnesium sulphate in its purest form. Bathe in magnesium to soothe aching muscles after a busy day, and relax your whole body. With Epsom Salts, you can ensure total relaxation when you sink into your bath. 

3. Bath Salts calm your mind

If you’ve had a long day and just want to relax, unwind, and forget about your worries for a while, Epsom salts provide a solution. Magnesium doesn’t only relax the body, its essential for the regulation of your wellbeing hormones related to stress and happiness. So, give your bath a regular magnesium boost to help improve your mood.

4. Aids a good night's sleep 

Our Epsom salt can also help you get a good night's sleep? Magnesium is known to promote better sleep and aid in relaxing body and mind. Magnesium plays a role in the production of melatonin (the sleep hormone) crucial to getting a good night's rest.

5. 100% natural, cruelty-free and vegan

Our Epsom salts are made from pure magnesium sulphate with nothing else added. So trust the purity, as we have our salts independently tested to ensure they’re guaranteed free from any heavy metals. We will always be 100% cruelty-free & vegan.
