Epsom Salts



This will work for your own aging body and for your pets creaks and groans.  Fleas are in the grass here so itchy skin becomes chronic in spite of medications and this is what sent us looking for a solution to stop the dogs constant itching.  Epsom salts are toxic to insects so they will boost the flea medication and detoxify the animal from flea medication's lingering in their body.  Or so I guess.

This is interesting because Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulfate and is one of the most effective ways to make Magnesium available from your system.  Magnesium is necessary for your body to bind Serotonin.  Serotonin is a mood altering substance which creates feelings of well being and relaxation, naturally created in the brain but through circumstances such as medication, illness, addiction,  the creation of Serotonin becomes compromised. Epsom salt also regulates the electrolytes in the system, calcium being a main electrical conductor and magnesium is necessary to maintain good calcium levels in the blood.  Epsom salt also delivers 'sulphates' through the blood which are difficult to get through eating.  This is important for brain tissue, joint proteins and mucin proteins that protect digestive tract.  They also stimulate the pancreas to generate digestive enzymes and help detoxify the body residue of medicine and environmental contaminants.  As a last benefit, Epsom salt also reduces swelling, relaxes muscles and flushes heavy metals from your cells.  All round a pretty big and inexpensive, easy to do a benefit to yourself!
