Perimenopause can bring new layers of stress — from hormonal changes to disrupted sleep, muscle tension, and aching joints. Finding simple ways to relax and restore at home becomes essential. One timeless remedy that many women swear by is an Epsom salt bath.

Rich in magnesium sulfate, Epsom Salts are absorbed through the skin during a warm soak. For peri/menopausal women, this can provide:

• Muscle relaxation – easing tightness and tension after long days or workouts.

• Joint comfort – supporting mobility when stiffness or aches set in.

• Stress relief – calming the nervous system and helping prepare for restful sleep.

• Skin health – gently exfoliating and refreshing the skin.

Adding a cup to a warm bath a few times per week is a simple ritual to recharge body and mind.

Exercise also plays a vital role in reducing stress, supporting sleep, and maintaining muscle strength during perimenopause. Training at a supportive gym ensures your movement routine works hand-in-hand with recovery practices like Epsom salt baths.

Takeaway: Epsom salts are more than just a bath additive — they’re a natural, affordable way to soothe muscles, calm the mind, and restore balance in perimenopause.
