Do Epsom Salts Help?
Discussion
Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate. It is named Epsom from the town in England, close to London where it was supposedly discovered.
Magnesium is an important trace element. It is a co-factor for ATP metabolism, DNA and RNA synthesis and regulation, and multiple other enzymatic reactions.
Hypermagnesemia is quite uncommon and usually would occur because of renal insufficiency or being iatrogenically produced. Hypomagnesemia is a serum concentration of < 0.75 mmol/L.

Without Roe v. Wade, U.S. Maternal Mortality Rates May Get Even Worse
The United States is a surprisingly dangerous place to be pregnant. The U.S. maternal mortality rate—nearly 24 deaths per 100,000 live births, as of 2020—is far higher than in comparable developed nations, and research shows it has gotten worse in recent years, not better.
