They won’t fix all your problems, but they might soothe some of them.
One legit use for Epsom salts when it comes to skin care: Using them to exfoliate facial and body skin, especially if you have mild acne. “Epsom salt may be helpful for acne by helping slough off dead skin cells that can clog pores,” Dr. Hollmig explains. Other exfoliators can work just as well, so it comes down to personal preference.
Aside from baths, another way people use Epsom salt is as a laxative. In fact, some bags of Epsom salts are labeled specifically forrelief and the instructions advise mixing it with water and drinking it to get your plumbing going again. And while there is some evidence that drinking magnesium-sulfate water can help ease constipation by possibly increasing gut motility and softening the stool , it’s generally “not recommended,” Dr. D’Adamo says.
But that hasn’t stopped some people from drinking Epsom salt. In fact, you can find case reports of people ingesting too much, sometimes to deadly consequences.For instance, one woman regularly gargled with Epsom salts for bad breath and the gargling increased her blood levels of magnesium so high that she went into a coma and died. A family member revealed that the woman had used an entire box of Epsom salt in the two days before she was found unconscious.
