7. Make a Relaxing Sleep-Boosting Bedtime Soak
Epsom salt can provide relief for minor skin irritations and insect bites. Dissolve 2 tablespoons of Epsom salt in a cup of warm water to create a soothing solution. Using a clean cloth or cotton pad, apply the solution to the affected area for a few minutes. The anti-inflammatory properties of magnesium sulfate help to reduce itching and swelling.
For more persistent irritations, you can also create a paste by mixing Epsom salt with a small amount of water and applying it directly to the skin. Allow the paste to dry before rinsing off.

Epsom salt can help eliminate odors from towels and workout clothes. Add 1/2 cup of Epsom salt to your washing machine along with your regular detergent. The salt helps to neutralize smells and soften the fabric.
For an extra boost, you can also add a few drops of essential oils such as lemon or tea tree oil to the wash. This will leave your laundry smelling fresh and clean.
