never going back

Once upon a time I got a bad case of the stomach flu and my body ached all over as it tried to fight it off. I noticed I had some Biofreeze on my counter. The package indicated that this was for “sore and achy muscles” so I decided to give it a try. Turns out, this super-strong muscle relief cream is not designed to be used on the entire body! Instead of achy muscle relief, I got whole-body chills for an hour. Not so fun!

Muscle relaxer

I always thought my mom was kidding when she said use Epsom salt after a long day, but am I ever glad I listened to her. After a long day of work and the gym, an epsom salt bath is definitely the way to go. It helps to relax every part of you.

Epson salt baths!

I’m always using epsom salt in my bath mixed with some essential oils! Nothing is more relaxing after a long day. I notice when I do have epsom salt baths my skin isn’t near as dry either.

This is great in so many ways!

I love putting this in my bath. It feels great on my skin and does make you feel calm and ready for bed. I have added this to my son’s bath and he feels it too. It is also great as a gentle exfoliater. I also add it to my hair to cleanse it gently. Try it as an exfoliater for your lips too especially for chapped lips. I know there are many more uses for it that I still haven’t tried.

Great for Sore Muscles

I suffer with chronic pain, so sore muscles are pretty normal in my life. I love to soak in a hot bath with epsom salts after a physio appointment or just on a bad pain day. It's even better in the winter when it's cold and damp.

These Epsom Salts from Shoppers Drug Mart (LIFE Brand) work just as they should..

They dissolve fast under running hot water.. if you just pour them in your tub without water running and just agitate with your hand, they don't totally dissolve.

Them being scent free is perfect for allergic skin. Since they are LIFE Brand they are a lot cheaper. I find Epsom Salts can get pretty expensive. The LIFE Brand price stays the same even for the ones with lavender or eucalyptus.

They are the exact same main ingredient as any other Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate)
Relaxes tired achy muscles, good for migraines. reduce inflammation and the "sulfate" helps absorb the magnesium into the skin.

I love these a lot. I use them for foot baths.
