The Benefits of Dead Sea Salt

Dead Sea Salt contains 10 times more minerals than normal sea salt. Minerals which can assist in cleansing, detoxifying, and restoring a healthy status quo to the body, especially the skin and muscles. Dead Sea Salt is rich with essential minerals like magnesium, calcium, sulfur, bromide, sodium, potassium, and iodine, which have been proved in research as beneficial to the body, skin, hair and nails. These minerals include:

• Magnesium – Magnesium is great for detoxifying and cleansing the epidermis. It promotes the cell metabolism, and in turn helps heal damaged or inflamed skin.
• Calcium – Calcium also promotes skin growth and regeneration, moisture retention through the production of sebum, and stimulates the production of antioxidants.
• Sodium – Sodium helps cleanse and exfoliate the skin, neutralise free radicals which can degenerate skin cells, and relieve sore muscles.
• Zinc – Zinc also helps heal and rejuvenate skin, ward off acne, and protects the skin’s lipids and fibroblasts cells that create collagen.
• Potassium – Potassium is great for keeping skin moist and plump, and for reducing puffiness.
• Sulphur – Sulphur helps decongest pores. It also has powerful healing, antifungal, antimicrobial, and antibacterial properties.

Dead Sea Salts have properties which are utilised in beautification and detoxification. One way Dead Sea Salts can be used is to add them to a balm or oil and exfoliate problem areas. Whether that be dry skin, small bumps or cellulite, the high sulphate levels of these natural salts can detoxify, while the grainy texture can shift blemishes and stimulate blood flow.

The high concentration of bromide and magnesium in the Dead Sea salt may help relieve allergic reactions of the skin by reducing inflammation.

Scientifically, a pubmed study concluded Dead Sea treatments are beneficial in several rheumatologic diseases and psoriasis and have a good safety profile.
