Unclogging a toilet can be done using common household ingredients such as table salt, baking soda, rock salt, or Epsom salt. By mixing these ingredients with hot water and allowing them to sit overnight, the clog should be loosened and easily flushed away. Rock salt is particularly effective due to its higher mineral content, while Epsom salt provides a quicker solution in just 20 minutes.
Epsom salt, a naturally occurring mineral salt made up of magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen, is often used in beauty products and as a soaking agent for bath water. While it is not a cure-all, it can promote relaxation and relief from muscle tension. Epsom salt baths can also be beneficial for migraines, headaches, arthritis, and fibromyalgia. When placed in water, Epsom salt breaks down and dissolves into magnesium and sulfate, which can be absorbed through the skin. However, it should not be ingested and should be avoided post-surgery or for those with skin conditions that have active inflammation, infection, or burn injuries.
