First discovered in the
town well of Epsom, England and patented in the 17th century for its healing and curative powers,
Epsom salt baths are the oldest and cheapest ways of relaxing muscles and settling nerves. Simply add two cups (1 pound, 454 grams, 16 oz., 1 pint, 1/2 liter, 500 ml) to your warm bath water to make a standard Epsom salt bath, and enjoy! To make a strong Epsom salt bath, double to quadruple the amount of Epsom salt. To make a VERY strong bath, double it again. Like our friend Teddy Bear here, Epsom salt baths have produced pleasure for millions for a very long time - at least three hundred and fifty years
