13 Wonderful Ways to Use Epsom Salts
By Annie B. Bond
Remove excess oil from hair: Epsom salt soaks up excess oil from hair. Add 9 tablespoons of epsom salt to 1/2 cup of oily hair shampoo. Apply one tablespoon of the liquid to your hair when it is dry; rinse with cold water. Pour lemon juice or organic apple cider vinegar through the hair, leave on for 5-10 minutes, and then rinse.
Remove hairspray: Combine 1 gallon of water, 1 cup of lemon juice, and 1 cup epsom salt. Combine, cover and let set for 24 hours. The next day, pour the mixture into your dry hair and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then shampoo as normal.
Hair volumizer: Combine equal parts of deep conditioner and epsom salt. Warm in a pan. Work the warm mixture through your hair and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse.

add your comment »The reason she may have lost the weight is the fact that Epsom salt is used as a laxative when mixed with a glass of water. There would also be a valid concern of what that much salt could do to your stomach, and blood pressure. Frankly, I would be wary of doing that. Ask a doctor or pharmacist.

A friend told me that she read somewhere, if you take a tsp on epsom salts after your meal you could lose weight. This lady did this and lost 180 lbs in 18 mos. Does anyone know if this is safe? and does it really work?

Ana, I'm not a doctor, so you many need to consult one. Have you tried any creams you may get at the drugstore, or just ask your pharmacist about the epsom salt and blood pressure issue? Sometimes I think they know more than some doctors. Maybe just a small amount on a localized area.

Can somebody please tell me as to why one cannot take an epsom salt bath or any other salt bath when one has high blood pressure? I have severe ezcema and thought it might relieve the inflammation and agonising itchiness. Thankyou.

My mother told me epsom salt soaking was an old home remedy in the old days to cure blood poisoning if it was caught early and used right away! Wow! Good stuff! Sounds like that could still be useful today!

As a kid I remember my mother giving us kids epsom salts every school holiday like summer and Christmas time. we would take it in chocolate milk before bed and it was supposed to cleanse you all next day. I also remember it being bitter. But it worked. we also took some thing called Senna leaves which was made into a tea but it gave us kids stomach cramps.
