{"product_id":"gen-pack-epsom-salts","title":"Gen Pack Epsom Salts","description":"\u003cp\u003eEpsom salts is magnesium sulfate, and in a stable it earns its place mostly for external use - hoof soaks for abscesses, drawing poultices, and soaking bruised or filled legs. It is also fed as a magnesium source, though at feeding rates the sulfate has a laxative effect that limits how much you can use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 1kg and 5kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor an abscess, an Epsom soak helps draw and soften but it does not replace having the foot looked at - a foot that is not improving in a couple of days needs a farrier or vet, not more soaking. Fed internally, magnesium sulfate loosens manure well before it delivers much magnesium, so it is a poor choice if magnesium supplementation is the real goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it is used\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHoof soaks\u003c\/strong\u003e - dissolved in warm water, foot soaked in a bucket or boot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrawing poultices\u003c\/strong\u003e - mixed to a paste, applied under a bandage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeg soaks\u003c\/strong\u003e - for filled or bruised legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eDissolve fully in warm water.
