The waters of the Dead Sea are unique, having a total salt concentration that
is 10 times higher than ocean water, reaching 33% versus 3%. The composition of the brines is also unique, comprising magnesium,
potassium and calcium chlorides, in addition to a high concentration of
bromides.
This extraordinary chemical composition has made the Dead Sea an ideal spot for
people seeking relief from skin and rheumatic disorders, and an equally popular
choice for vacationers seeking relaxation. In fact, these soothing
miracle-working waters have a reputation that dates back over 2000 years when
the Roman historian Flavius noted "The Dead Sea cannot be praised
too highly! Travelers take this salt home because it heals the human body
and is therefore used in many medicines."
Bringing the Dead Sea's properties right into the bathtub for relaxation and
relief, the widely reputed soothing effects of the Dead Sea can now be enjoyed
in the privacy of one's home. Now every bathtub, hot tub, jacuzzi and whirlpool
can be a private spa, brimming with the widely reputed therapeutic benefits of
the Dead Sea's life giving minerals, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year - whenever
anyone, anywhere wants relief or relaxation.
The Dead Sea is the most saline body of water in the world with far
greater concentrations of minerals than any ocean. Bromides and Iodine are present in Dead Sea Salt, including other
minerals in a dried form, such as Magnesium, Sodium, Calcium and
Potassium. All these minerals work together as regulators of cell
activity and daily functioning, relieving muscular pain and stabilizing
fluid levels in the body.
Our Fine Dead Sea Salt variety is white in color and has a consistency
similar to table salt. The rough nature of the salt lends itself to
skin scrubs (exfoliation) and can also be used with Epsom salts
(magnesium sulphate). We recommend you try Dead Sea Salt as a body
scrub, or just as a relaxing additive to your baths.
Instructions: Hop
into the bath water and wet your body (don't make the water too hot or
you will get sleepy and not refreshed). Stand up in the bath and take a
handful of the salt mixture at a time and scrub down your entire body.
Let the mixture fall into the tub. Soak for no more than 20 minutes as
this mixture is to refresh and rejuvenate.
