Table salt is Sodium chloride whereas Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulfate and is composed of magnesium, sulfur and oxygen and unlike table salt, it has to be refined before it has any particular use. Table salt will not have the same muscle relaxing effect as Epsom salts, and you may find table salt more drying to the skin.
