Epsom in Surrey is the historical source of Epsom Salt — magnesium sulphate — whose discovery in the early 17th century from a local spring made the town one of the most fashionable spa resorts in England, attracting Samuel Pepys, Daniel Defoe, and aristocratic society from London. The Epsom spring water, unusually rich in magnesium sulphate, has a powerful laxative and anti-inflammatory effect that gave Epsom Salts their enduring medical reputation and made them a household name worldwide. Today Epsom is best known for its famous horse racing course, but its historical spa heritage remains a fascinating chapter in the story of British balneology.
