You just had the BEST “run” day ever.

The day has gone smoothly….there is a hot bath running.

You lie down and quickly fall asleep.

Perfect, right?

A BIG leg cramp hits and you bolt upright in response.

If you’ve been here for more than a hot minute, you know that no one loves a long, hot bath more than I.

I love the water HOT and the Epsom Salt plain…

Why Epsom salts?

Epsom salts do more than make your bath relaxing. Epsom salt is Magnesium.

Magnesium acts as a natural calcium blocker which enables our muscles to relax (or contract). When your body lacks adequate Magnesium, you get those awful cramps.

A few of the other benefits of Magnesium:

Supports a healthy immune system.

Keeps your heartbeat steady.

Helps keep your bones strong.

Aids in the production of energy & protein.

As always, if pain persists please contact your healthcare provider.
