Oh the Wonders of Epsom Salt

I can find humor in just about everything! The other night my feet were really hurting so I decided to try soaking them in Epsom Salt. I had never used this natural wonder and just assumed it was for sprained, tired muscles & joints. Well I start reading the directions and find out that you can drink the stuff to relieve constipation! I never would have imagined this. So off I go with a towel & tub of hot water, just sitting there soaking my feet watching tv.....and as usual my mind starts to wander and I start laughing so hard that my daughter thinks I am totally nuts. You see, I'm a morning person, I have no problem what so ever leaving dirty dishes & junk on the table & getting up early in the morning & cleaning up. I am very cheerful in the morning. Well, I'm sitting there thinking, you know I don't feel like cleaning this up, maybe I'll leave it for in the morning. Then I think of our dogs! Although they are small, I'm sure there would have been a huge mess in the morning because I know they would love to drink my stinky feet water! There would have been land mines everywhere! Once I shared this thought with Rachel, we went through a bunch of what ifs & laughed hysterically. Yes, we're definitely a goofy family but we seem to laugh alot!
By the way, I had to read up on this Epsom Salt, come to find out it is high in magnesium which so many of us lack. This stuff is unbelievable. You can soak in it & it is absorbed through the skin. Just a few things that it does: softens your skin, lowers your blood pressure, helps the circulatory system, lessens the severity of diabetes & helps with calcium levels in your blood--you see, if you take calcium tablets & are low in magnesium, it defeats the purpose. They even had alot of facial scrubs that you can make. Pretty cool stuff, this Epsom Salt! Oh yeah, it was discovered in Epsom, England.
