Overview

Epsom salt, or magnesium sulfate, can be effective for several specific applications. Topically, a 3% Epsom salt gel has shown promise in reducing osteoarthritis pain. Orally, it can help correct magnesium deficiencies, contributing to benefits like improved muscle function and nerve function, though this use can lead to GI issues. Overall effectiveness greatly depends on the route of administration (topical vs. oral) and whether an individual has a pre-existing magnesium deficiency.
