The Healing Power of the Dead Sea
The Dead Sea (Al Baḥr Al Mayyit) is a salt lake that lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and sits about 430 meters below sea level, considered the lowest point on earth. With a salinity of 34.2%, it is one of the world's saltiest bodies of water, ten times as salty as the ocean and the Dead Sea has more than 45,000 million tons of salt and minerals.
The Dead Sea contains 26 essential minerals (magnesium, calcium, potassium, bromine, sulfur- to name a few!), and twelve of the Dead Sea mineral do not exist in any other sea or ocean. Some of the Dead Sea minerals are known to have unique qualities, giving a feeling of relaxation, activating the blood systems, nourishing the skin, and healing rheumatic diseases and metabolic disorders.
Dead Sea Salts heal cuts and are recommended for such skin conditions as:
- Eczema
- Psoriasis treatment
- Scaly skin
- Allergic irritations
- Seborrhea
- Skin rashes
- Rheumatologic diseases (include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and knee osteoarthritis)
Dead Sea Salts can help to soothe swollen feet and relieve athlete's feet. In addition, the salts relieve muscle tension in the bath and leave the body feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The beneficial effects of Dead Sea minerals therapy on dermatological diseases have been amply documented in a multitude of scientific publications over the past half-decade.
