Is it safe to use Epsom salt for gargling? A lot of my friends keep saying it's helpful in different situations, but I'm worried if it might harm the body in some way. Are there any precautions I should take if I decide to use it?
Epsom salt, when dissolved in water, can be used as a gargle to help relieve sore throat and mouth sores. It is generally safe for gargling when used in appropriate concentrations. However, it is important to note that ingesting Epsom salt can lead to magnesium toxicity, so it should not be swallowed. To gargle with Epsom salt, mix about half a teaspoon of Epsom salt in a glass of warm water and gargle with it for a few seconds before spitting it out. There is no need to cover up after gargling with Epsom salt.
