Epsom Salt uses prepping health beauty cleaning garden hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper in
one of my recent hauls I stocked up on Epsom salt which is magnesium sulfate it's good to
have epsom salt in your prepper Pantry I prefer to have unscented epsom salt just the natural
just magnesium sulfate plain Epsom salt you can do so many things with it I thought it
would make a video and share with you some of the ways that I use epsom salt and maybe there's some
ways that you want to use them too the first thing I use epsom salt for is to put into the
bathtub I stored in a covered container right next to my big bathtub and I scoop epsom salt
in I use my bathtub all the time and it's very relaxing refreshing and it the minerals in it can
help relax your body it can help soothe aches and pains and it just feels really nice hot baths are
relaxing they're soothing and boy we need a lot more natural ways to relax and soothe ourselves
if we pay any attention to what's going on in the world today if you've ever made a sugar scrub to
exfoliate your body you could also use epsom salt stir together equal parts of liquid body wash
and epsom salt stir it all together and then just take a little scoop epsom salt when you're in the
shower and rub it around on your rough skin that you want to exfoliate but do it gently especially
if it's the first time because you don't want to overdo it anytime you use something the first time
be gentle so that you don't scratch yourself in any way do you have sore or stinky feet
fill up a dish pan with some hot water and add a few tablespoons of Epsom salt stir it around
to dissolve the Epsom salt allow your feet to soak and then dry them well make sure you get
in between all those little toes to get them clean and dry do you want beachy waves in your hair it's
simple to do stir together one cup of hot water two tablespoons of Epsom salt and then you need
the hot water so that the Epsom salt will dissolve then add one teaspoon of aloe vera gel and one
half teaspoon of your favorite hair conditioner then you stir that all together pour it into a
clean spray bottle this is how I get my beachy waves as soon as I wash my hair I just blot it
with a towel don't comment or brush it put a few spritzes of your beachy wave solution and then
just shake your hair tip your hair it over scrunch it a few times and then leave it alone just let it
air dry that's what I did it helps if it's a humid day because my hair is a little naturally curly
anyway and so that accentuates how wavy it can be you don't want to comb it or brush it you just
want to leave it alone yeah put in the comments below what you think about my beachy wave hair
there are a lot of ways to use epsom salt for cleaning you can add a little bit of it into
your laundry just do your laundry the regular way include this and it works as a fabric softener if
you ever make your own laundry detergent make sure that you include Epsom salt I'll put a link to a
video I made about how to make your own laundry detergent one of the ingredients is Epsom salt
it's made of natural ingredients that are easy to have on hand and even add to your stockpile
so you can make your own if you needed to looking for a way to clean your tile stir together equal
parts of liquid dish soap I like to use Dawn and equal parts of Epsom salt stir that together and
take a nice brush and scrub it around over your tile and rinse it well and that should help get
your tile nice and clean dish soap is designed to break up oils and scummy things and so it's a
great ingredient to have for all kinds of cleaning purposes not just doing dishes if you ever get bug
bites mosquito bites little itchy rashes dissolve two tablespoons of Epsom salt into a cup of warm
water then take a compress moisten it in that mixture and then hold it against your bug bite
