Epsom Salts for eczema
I've been reading a lot lately since I first started blogging about epsom salts for eczema but really had no idea what is was. Epsom salt is an inorganic salt otherwise called magnesium sulfate. It is named after an intense salty spring at Epsom in Surrey, England.
The hydrated type of magnesium sulfate is favored in therapeutic arrangements in light of the fact that without the particles of water, magnesium sulfate is a drying operator and, thusly, promptly retains water to frame hydrated salts, for example, Epsom salt.
A very good detoxing agent, the magnesium element of epsom salts has been shown to help with inflamed skin. The sulfate part of epsom salts can be used to promote skin detox. And help with magnesium uptake. More on that here.
Did it work for my eczema?
Quick answer - yes. But the relief was only short term. I had a bath with epsom salt and did feel a lot better after, but i would say an oat bath did a better job.
Other uses for epsom salt:
There are an assortment of uses for Epsom salt, yet it is most usually sold in stores as a range of restorative skincare products and bath & shower salts. Be that as it may, Epsom salt is also used orally in some cases.
As an oral medication, Epsom salt can fill in as a diuretic and a laxative. It is likewise used to treat indigestion. It can be used for pregnant ladies, whereby the magnesium sulfate is utilized to treat eclampsia.
This interesting salt can likewise be utilized as first line treatment of heart failure and to avoid seizures and cerebral paralysis, Though these studies probably need a lot more work.
Since Epsom salt is fundamentally magnesium sulfate, it can supply the body with magnesium and sulfate. In this manner, this salt can be utilized to treat hypomagnesemia.
It's hard to say if epsom salts really can treat eczema. My guess would be that it provides a soothing feeling and can help nourish the skin. A long term solution? Not in my experience.

Welcome to my new blog
Hi there,
Welcome to my new blog. I'm Jane and this is a blog about eczema. I've suffered from eczema for years but have finally decided to pursue only natural treatment.
When I'm looking at home remedies for eczema, the goal is to find things that won't suppress the eczema, but instead things that will treat the source.
I don't want to just treat the symptoms, but also to help actually fix the eczema. I've successfully gone a full year without any eczema, having suffered for years on harsh drugs.
Hope you enjoy reading this blog.
Jane!
