Epsom salt is the common name for the mineral compound magnesium sulfate, which is a chemical composed of magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen. Despite the name, it is not the same as table salt (sodium chloride) and is most commonly used by dissolving it in a warm bath to soothe muscle aches, reduce stress, and soften skin. It was discovered in the town of Epsom in England, which is how it got its name.
