Extended data:
Glauber's salt storage:
Mirabilite should be stored in a cool and dry place.
Glauber's salt is naturally weathered or dried at high temperature, losing its crystalline state and becoming white powder. Weathered mirabilite, also known as sodium sulfate, is also used in medicine, and its effect is milder than mirabilite.
