The magnesium in Epsom Salt helps to regulate the activity of more than 325 enzymes and performs a vital role in orchestrating various bodily functions - from muscle control and electrical impulses to energy production and the elimination of harmful toxins. During your float, the magnesium is absorbed through skin due to natural molecular diffusion. Your body would optimize the levels of magnesium absorbed so there would be no overload effect from floating in the salts for extended periods.

 

Magnesium is the second-most abundant element in human cells. Our magnesium levels have dropped by half in the last century due to changes in agriculture and diet. Industrial farming has depleted the magnesium in soil and the typical diet contains much less magnesium than that of our forefathers. That said, it is no surprise that this low-profile mineral is extremely vital to good health and well-being. Epsom Salt also delivers sulfates, which are extremely difficult to obtain through food but can easily be absorbed through the skin.

 

瀉鹽所含的鎂，於人體內扮演著重要角色，它有助控制體內超過325種酵素，協調肌能的正常運作－如由肌肉控制、脈衝至產生能量及排毒等。於漂浮式水療期間，皮膚會適量地透過分子傳播而慢慢吸收鹽水中的鎂，即使進行長時間療程，大家亦無須擔心吸收過量的情況。

 

鎂，無疑是身體維持健康的基本重要礦物，它是人體細胞組成的第二大基本物質。不過，現代人吸收到鎂的機會卻愈來愈少，其中因為過度耕種，已經虛耗了土壤中大部份的鎂，農作物所含的鎂因而大大減少；加上都巿人的快餐飲食文化，亦是我們比前人吸收得更少鎂的其中一項成因。浸於瀉鹽水中除了可以透過皮膚吸收到鎂外，亦可吸收另外一種重要而難以透過食物吸收的礦物－硫酸鹽，為健康補充一下。
