Re: what is the differance between epson salts & water softener salts ??????

[Guest guest]

Heidi to my knowledge they are not the same. Water softener salt is salt, that has not been refined and cleaned for table use. It is mined in a mine. Epsom salt is chemically made, contains magnesium and a couple of other minerals. You can not only use Epsom salts for soaks, compresses, and as a laxitive, but also in gardening to add magnesium to plants to promote root growth. If you used water softner salt for this purpose you would kill all growth and end up with a sterile piece of ground that would not grow anything. Sandie -- what is the differance between epson salts & water softener salts ?????? One of my friends told me there is no difference between Epson salts and water Softner salts except the water softener salts arenot ground as finely as epson salts. She uses it to bath with as she has fibro,Lupus,Chronic fatigue. So i was just a wondering if any of yuo knew what the differance is beside we can use the epson slats as a laxtive if need be and water softner salts we cannot. But Viki swears that it works as good if not better fro people with fibro and chronic fatigue. so if any of yuo all know the differance please elt me know.I have been goggling it and found nothing yet. heidi ------------------------------------
