And Let There be......Salt!
"The Dead Sea can not be praised too highly...travelers take as much of this salt as they are able to home with them because it heals the human body and is therefore used in many medicines."
-Flavius, Jewish Roman historian
Unlike regular salt, Dead Sea salt is not edible and is only used for therapeutic properties that have been used for centuries because of the low sodium content and the high presence of other minerals. The minerals present in the salt are also naturally present within skin cells but commonly get depleted which can cause severe dryness, wrinkle development and dull looking skin. When Dead Sea bath salts or products made with minerals extracted from the salt are used, they feed those essential minerals back into the skin cells improving the overall health and vitality of the skin.
Some of the healing properties in Dead Sea Salt are:
Potassium-Sodium: Supplies energy to skin cells
Magnesium: Activates enzymes to accelerate cell regeneration
Bromide: Soothes and treats skin ailments
Chloride: Helps balance body's minerals
Calcium: Strengthens cell membranes and eases pain
Home Spa's Dead Sea Salt Soaks can be used for full bathing or just for soaking your feet after a long, hard day.
