The Dead Sea is the lowest point on the surface of earth, and it is a lake full of history and healing powers thanks to the most unique thing about it - it's high concentration of minerals. The Dead Sea is so full of minerals that it is impossible to drown in it, and you can float at the surface of the water with no help. These
Dead Sea minerals are varied and natural, and they can cause all kinds of health benefits to your skin and muscles, which is why the Dead Sea has been renown for all of history to be a healing place, a source of treatment for all kinds of ailments. The body needs
minerals to conduct its functions properly and stay in its best health, and the Dead Sea provides more than enough to cleanse, detoxify, and treat its ailments.
One of the minerals found in the Dead Sea is Magnesium. This mineral is known to promote quick healing of skin tissue and soothing damaged skin, an effect I have experienced myself. It is also essential for cell metabolism, and is an anti-allergic element on the surface of the skin, protecting it from allergenic microbes.
A second mineral found in the Dead Sea is Bromide, which relaxes and calms cramps in the muscles and the nerves, and soothes the skin, repairing skin cells and revitalizing the complexion as well.
Third comes Iodine, a unique mineral that aids the function of the thyroid gland and improves the body's metabolic exchanges.
Next, Sulfur is the mineral responsible for the unique, pungent smell the Dead Sea has. It may not smell sweet, but it is essential to the body. A natural disinfectant, it has powerful detoxifying effects, and works with the liver to get rid of the toxins in the body. It also purifies the skin and promotes hair growth.
Potassium reduces water retention, balances moisture in the skin and body, nourishes cells, and regulates the nervous system. It reduces skin puffiness, and balances all of the body's moisture.
Calcium strengthens bones and teeth and cell membranes, and clears the skin's pores, enhancing the skin's hydration and balancing the sebum levels. Calcium promotes cell renewal, preventing wrinkles and lines, and reducing risk of skin cancer.
Next is Sodium, an essential mineral for reducing cramps and muscle stiffness, giving relief from soreness and cleansing the skin. It also protects against free-radicals which degenerate the skin,
and it exfoliates and detoxifies the skin, helping cells keep nourished and expel their waste.
Zinc protects the skin from sunburn and windburn when applied topically, and boosts the immune system, fighting off acne and aiding in enzymatic regulation of cell proliferation.
These are the minerals from the 21 found in the Dead Sea's waters that benefit our skin and body's health. They have anti aging properties and keep you in peak skin health. Happily, you can get the same effects at home as you would by visiting the Dead Sea in person, by using Dead Sea cosmetic products,
Dead Sea bath salts and products, and Dead Sea spa products. Therefore, there is no need to schedule a trip to the Middle East just for this natural fountain of youth.
Beyond its general health benefits, the Dead Sea also is effective at curing or improving the symptoms of certain skin conditions and diseases. Clearing up the skin and giving it all the balance, nourishment and relief it needs, God's gift of a skin treatment is helpful for a multitude of common or rare skin problems.
Dead Sea minerals are great against acne, zinc and sulfur applied topically are highly effective at clearing the acne away.
The Dead Sea aids in clearing dermatitis, and dandruff is a thing of the past after the scalp cleansing provided by the zinc and sulfur.
Eczema can be treated using Dead Sea minerals, and it exfoliates the dead cells and flakes, disinfecting eczema patches and relieving the skin of pain. Warm baths with Dead Sea bath salts are recommended. Dead Sea minerals are effective treatment for scabies and seborrhea too.
