How to use Mamaearth Epsom Bath Salt:

My take on Mamaearth Epsom Bath Salt:

Packaging: As you can see it comes in a tub packaging similar to their Argan Hair Mask. The tub beautifully sits in my bath shelf with its attractive white and pink printing. The tub has an inner lid to secure the bath salts from spillage. Though it does not leak or spill while traveling, I find the tub to be bulky and heavy and it does occupy a lot of space in my travel bag.

Color, Fragrance & Texture : The bath salt looks beautiful with its lavender color and does not seem to have any lavender fragrance. It just has the fragrance of Epsom salt if you closely sniff it. The bath salt has a grainy texture and quickly gets dissolved in water. It turns my bath into an alluring lavender hue within a few seconds.

How I used it?

I’ve tried all the three methods mentioned in the usage instructions and here am sharing my experience.

As a warm soak : Adding two cups of the bath salt into a tub of warm water and then soaking in few a minutes truly gives you a relaxed feeling. Though the bath does not emit any aroma, the epsom salt infused water totally de-stresses my mind and body. And once I’m out of the bath, it feels like I had a spa session, so tranquilizing.

As a foot soak : My feet gets sore and tired almost everyday after running around my kid the whole day. So at the end of the day, I like to have my feet immersed in a warm foot soak. I usually add a tablespoon of the bath salt and rest my feet for atleast 15 minutes. It relieves aches, reduces soreness and relaxes my joints. It also removes dirt and callus from my heels.

As a treatment: I often suffer from shoulder pain, so I tried the third method once. I took a handful of Epsom salt, mixed with a little water to make it into a paste and then applied on my shoulders. And then covered with warm washcloth. Though messy, it was worth trying. It alleviated my shoulder pain to a great extent.
