Magnesium sulfate, also known as Epsom salt, is used for both medical and personal care purposes. In medicine, it is used to treat magnesium deficiency, preeclampsia, and eclampsia, as well as to relieve constipation.

Magnesium sulfate is available as an injectable solution, powder, or crystals for external use. In personal care, it is often added to baths to relax muscles and reduce stress.

Although considered safe when used as directed, excessive use may cause side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, or electrolyte imbalances. It is important to consult a doctor before use, especially for individuals with kidney or cardiovascular conditions.
