Remember the old "Milk of Magnesium", used to clear up constipation? Epsom salts is also magnesium. Soaking in epsom salts helps remove the toxins from the body, and can be absorbed into the body through the skin. helping to replenish magnesium.

I just sent a list for foods high in magnesium.

I have tested out as being very low in magnesium!
