11 Benefits Of Taking Epsom Salt Baths
Never consume it
While a doctor may administer Epsom salt intravenously, and it has some possible topical uses, it should not be consumed. Some make the mistake of consuming it to alleviate constipation, but this can lead to dangerous side effects, including severe diarrhea and dehydration. Even in your bath, do not use more Epsom salt than recommended by your healthcare professional, as side effects can occur such as dizziness, slow heartbeat, or skin rash.
