Answer 3

I know my granny used to use it when she soaked her feet

Answer 4

It can be used for sore muscles and tissues (like sore feet), but it helps for any overall skin health (when used externally) and as a laxative (when taken internally).

The major "dangers" are if you swallow too much of it at a time because it can give too much of a laxative effect. Also, if you took too much externally and internally combined, the extra minerals in it could be too much for your body to use and process out. All things in moderation  ;-)

Answer 5

Epsom salt is excellent for soaking in to relieve sore muscles. It can also be used as a laxitive to clean out your body. Just mix 1 tablespoon in a glass of warm water, just be sure to be near a toilet.

Some people say it makes the stalks of tomato and pepper plants stronger and healthier.
