Epsom Salts
Magnesium is a natural muscle pain reliever, and since epsom salts are made out of magnesium sulphate it will be a wonderful bath to help relax your body. In addition, it helps produce cellular energy that controls blood sugar levels - an essential balance for a better night of sleep.
Bonus:
Epsom salts baths are the best bubble bath for men too! That’s because it doesn’t have any fragrance and helps them relax.
