For many years the Dead Sea salts were thought to contain healing
powers. Medical researchers in the Dead Sea area have proved this
ancient prophesy true. Dead Sea salts and minerals regulate and
activate cell functions. We age, we eat poorly, we suffer effects of
pollution, stress and our bodies soon lack the vital salts and
minerals. Without these we accelerate the aging process; we lack
hydration; are prone to infections and lack energy. Dead Sea salt
products replace these vital minerals through the skin. Dead Sea
salt products replenish cells, re-hydrate; re-stabilize and defy the
aging process. |

The waters of the Dead Sea have
been renowned for their therapeutic effects since ancient times. Two
thousand years ago, Flavius wrote that the salts from the Dead Sea
heal the human body.
The waters from the Dead Sea are unique in that they contain 27% of
various salts as compared to 3% in normal sea water. Further, while
sodium accounts for approximately 80% of the salt content of normal
sea water, it comprises much less of the salt total in water from
the Dead Sea. The balance of the salts in Dead Sea water are
magnesium, potassium, calcium chloride and bromides.
Why are these types of salts beneficial? Magnesium is important for
both combatting stress and fluid retention, slowing skin aging and
calming the nervous system. Calcium is effective at preventing water
retention, increasing circulation and strengthening bones and nails.
Potassium energizes the body, helps to balance skin moisture and is
a crucial mineral to replenish following intense exercise. Bromides
act to ease muscle stiffness and relax muscles. Sodium is important
for the lymphatic fluid balance (this in turn is important for
immune system function). So we can see that bathing in high quality
sea salt could replenish the minerals which are critical to our skin
metabolism.
Studies have been conducted on the health benefits of bathing in
Dead Sea salts. One such study was conducted by Dr. I. Machtey 1 on
103 patients suffering from osteoarthritis and tendinitis. Patients
were either treated with baths of 7.5%, 2% or 0.5% Dead Sea salt
concentration. Improvement was found after as little as 1 week of
treatment for those treated with 7.5% or 2% salt baths. By the
study's end, 80% of the patients reported less pain; 70% experienced
improved mobility and 60% were able to decrease their use of
analgesics. Dr. J. Arndt 2 studied the effect of Dead Sea salt baths
on psoriasis. Fifty patients were treated for 3 - 4 weeks, with 3 -
4 baths per week. In as little as 1 week, many patients treated with
a 10% salt concentration in their baths experienced marked
improvement. This improvement included relief from itching, sleep
disturbances, and skin scaling. Treatment with Dead Sea Salts is not
associated with any side effects. |
