At COW Home & Body, our Epsom Bath SaltsĀ are crafted to do more than just dissolve in warm waterātheyāre here to help youĀ dissolve the stress of the day, ease sore muscles and recharge your mood, all from the comfort of your bath.
šæ What Are Epsom Bath Salts?
Epsom salt isn't actually salt at allāitās a naturally occurring compound made of magnesium sulphate. And itās this magnesium that makes it a bit of a self-care superstar.
When added to warm bath water, the magnesium is absorbed through the skin to help:
Ease muscle tension
Soothe aches and pains
Support relaxation
Promote better sleep
Gently detox the body
⨠Basically, itās your go-to for when your body (and mind) need a little extra love.
š§ How to Use Epsom Salts for the Best Results
Using Epsom salts couldnāt be easierābut a few small tweaks can turn your bath into something magical.
1. Run a warm bath
Fill your tub with warm (not boiling) water. You want it hot enough to relax muscles, but still comfortable to soak in.
2. Add your salts
Sprinkle in 2ā3 handfulsĀ (or around 1ā2 cups) of COW Home & Body Epsom Bath SaltsĀ as the water runs. This helps them dissolve evenly.
š” Want a more intense soak? Add a little extra after a workout or long day on your feet.
3. Soak and unwind
Ease into the water and soak for 15ā20 minutes. Breathe deeply, let your shoulders drop, and give yourself permission to pause.
