what IS the difference between Epsom salt and Table salt?

Epsom salt (MgSO4 7H2O) is composed almost exclusively of Magnesium Sulphate (>99%) with traces of other minerals (Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Iron, etc.). Table salt, Sodium Chloride (NaCl), on the other hand, is composed of 40% Chlorine and 60% Sodium. Table salt and Epsom salt have quite different chemical compositions and therefore different properties.  

Table salt is extracted from the sea, salt marshes or mines. It is obtained by sedimentation after water evaporation. Epsom salt is extracted from Dolomite, a carbonate sedimentary rock. It is obtained from natural minerals from underground deposits and purified.  Common salt is used as a food preservative, and spice, and prevents skin and cells dehydration. Epsom salt is not meant to be ingested without strict medical supervision (Powerful laxative).
