A clean, uncomplicated essential for bath and foot-soak preparations, Epsom Salt is a familiar mineral ingredient used in traditional home bathing routines.
Also known as magnesium sulphate, Epsom Salt dissolves into warm water and pairs beautifully with suitable botanicals in simple DIY soak blends. Its place in Meadow Basics is practical rather than medicinal — a beautiful foundation for a quiet bathing ritual.

Meadow Ritual Idea — Botanical Foot Soak
Dissolve a suitable small amount of Epsom Salt in comfortably warm water and enjoy a brief foot soak. Add a separate cloth sachet of dried Lavender or Calendula if preferred, removing it after soaking.
Precautions
External use only; not a food or oral magnesium product. Do not ingest, use in the eyes or on broken, infected or irritated skin. Warm water may cause slipping or scalding. Consult a healthcare professional before use with a medical condition that affects skin integrity, circulation or sensation. Do not claim that bathing in Epsom Salt treats magnesium deficiency, pain or muscle injuries.
