Epsom Salt Cure-All - Insomnia/ADD/Arthritis

I had trouble sleeping for a few months and it was starting to get ridiculous. I hold a professional full time job and only getting 20-25 hours of a sleep per week was starting to affect my life in a serious way.

My mom suggested I take a bath in epsom salt before going to bed to relax my muscles. I figured why not....so I went to Kroger and bought a big bag of Pepsom Sports, a spearmint scented epsom salt and started soaking before bed. Within a week I was sleeping 6-8 hours a night like a normal person. Plus I really enjoyed the baths as a way to de-stress from the daily grind. It not only helped me sleep but relieved muscle aches and surprisingly the pain in my knee that has persisted since an accident a few years ago.

Then my sister called to complain that her son who has ADD wasn't sleeping through the night. I of course suggested Pepsom Sports since it worked for me. She was worried that it wouldn't be safe so I did some research and discovered that many people with ADD and ADHD have magnesium deficiencies and that taking epsom salt baths is one of the most effective ways for the body to absorb magnesium into the blood stream. She tried Pepsom on her son and presto he started sleeping through the night which needless to say was a god send to her.

Considering that we both had such a great experience we cornered my poor old grandmother who has been suffering with arthritis and made her give it a try. She was very skeptical having already used epsom salts in the past for a variety of ailments but she kept saying that the pain hurt too much for a natural remedy to take care of it. But we thought it was worth a try so I bought her a 3lb bag (its only $6) and made her try it. She called me after the very first bath and told me how shocked she was that her joints felt looser and that she had been able to walk around her house afterwards for a few hours with very little pain.

I just wanted to share this amazing product with everyone because everyone in my family has found a use for it. Plus epsom salt is 100% natural and is a cheap alternative to pricey prescriptions that most doctors suggest.
