Salt will kill your lawn! Some people use salt selectively to kill weeds, in fact. Salt sucks up water and starves whatever plant you put it on of moisture. It's actually great to sprinkle around to kill weeds on patio stones. But salt on your lawn will kill your lawn!

Epsom salt will not harm your lawn if used in low ammounts. It should help the lawn if used in low doses, but will kill beneficial fungi if over used.
