Epsom salt, which is oftentimes sold in cardboard cartons in drugstores, can be applied for a variety of unexpected and clever uses ranging from removing splinters from your fingers to making your grass greener. The magical ingredient is the mineral magnesium sulfate, which naturally sedates your nervous system and draw toxins out of your body if applied to swollen muscles.
So the next time you want to give yourself a truly luxurious spa treatment without the price tag, simply add a cup of Epsom salt to your next hot bath. But that's not all—keep an Epsom salt carton handy for your next gardening project, household cleaning session or Christmas party when you want to add a fake snow-frost effect to your windows for some extra holiday cheer.
Magical.
