No, Epsom salt and Glauber's salt are not the same. Epsom salt, chemically known as magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄·7H₂O), is often used for its therapeutic properties in baths and as a magnesium supplement. Glauber's salt, on the other hand, is sodium sulfate decahydrate (Na₂SO₄·10H₂O) and is primarily used in the chemical industry and as a laxative. Their chemical compositions and uses are distinct.
