it depends on what you are using it for.its best to use sea salt no iodine..

Answer 2

both are good ,

Answer 3

They are two entirely different chemicals

Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate.

Common salt is sodium chloride.

Dunno what you want to do with it, but I don't think it would be advisable to swap one with another.

Answer 4

First of all regular salt is Sodium Chloride. Epsom Salts are made of Magnesium Sulfate.

Organic Sea Salt is best as it contains no iodine or Anti-Caking Agent(which is Aluminium)> The most common cause of Alzheimer's & Dementia among other brain disorders as it causes actual plaques in the brain, preventing messages to be transferred.

Sea Salt also contains many vitamins & minerals that are good for you.  

Magnesium Sulfate  or EPSOM SALTS as they are referred as have a strong laxative effect in large quantities are used mainly for constipation.

I don't recommend eating Epsom Salts.

Consume the Sea Salt over regular table salt, epsom salt & rock salt.

Salt is best consumed in moderation as large amounts of salt significantly increase blood pressure; thus increasing the risk of cardiovascular, liver & kidney damage among others leading to many lifestyle diseases.

Answer 5

The epsom salt has a drawer in it and regular salt doesn't work the same.
