What is Epsom Salt?
In the early 17th century in the English town of Epsom, a naturally occurring magnesium and sulfate mineral compound was discovered in the water of an underground spring. This substance was named epsomite. It wasn’t long before the therapeutic properties of these minerals gained recognition and Epsom was dubbed a spa town. The minerals became popularised in the form of Epsom Salts and are used in beauty preparations and soothing bath soaks to this day.
