The History of Epsom Salt:

A Tradition That Spans Centuries

Magnesium sulfate, commonly known as Epsom salt, takes its name from the town of Epsom, England, where mineral-rich spring water gained attention in the 1600s.

Over the centuries, Epsom salt became a familiar part of traditional bathing, personal care, and household routines. Its use also became well established in the horse world, where Epsom salt soaks and topical applications have long been part of equine care routines.

Today, magnesium sulfate is still used in a variety of medical, personal-care, and veterinary settings.

Dr. Milt’s draws on this long history, bringing the familiar Epsom salt tradition into convenient topical cream, gel, and spray formulas—no soaking required.
