Tis the season to be merry… But first we have to hurdle over the final stretch to Christmas and finally the New Year. If you are like me, some much needed down time is required at least once a week. So, why not try an Epsom Salt relaxing bath or foot spa – I do the latter after each Market Day.
Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulphate) are known for it’s muscle and nerve relaxing properties, as well are treating skin conditions like acne. Sulphur seems to have anti-bacterial effects, as well as loosening up of dead skin. But did you know that Epsom Slats are adaptogenic? If the body needs stimulating – the Sulphate acts on the body instead. AfriClarity have created a unique blend of Epsom Salts and Mustard to stimulate and open the pores allowing for better absorption of these adaptogenic ingredients. For your total relaxation – Rosemary, Lavender, Wormwood and Cape Geranium have been added. Wormwood is said to be a “love charm” in African Folk law. You can tell why I look forward to this ritual…
Epsom Salts are also good for our gardens – making seeds germinate and plants to grow bushier and with more flowers. Plants also need nutrients like Magnesium and Sulphur – think of them as building blocks. Although Magnesium and Sulfur occur naturally in soil, they can be depleted by various conditions. But unlike most commercial fertilizers, which build up in the soil over time, Epsom Salt is not persistent so you can’t overuse it. With take being said, after every foot spa, I throw the “grey water” onto the grass making it greener and saving on water usage. We are living in a water scarce country after all.
Everything we aim to do at AfriClarity is for the greater good of the individual and environment… Our 2020 vision is still set on sustainability!
