Properties and Applications of Dead Sea Salt:
- The minerals present in the salt have a therapeutic effect on the skin. They promote skin reconstruction and hydration, alleviate symptoms of dryness and redness, and support regenerative processes. Salt baths help reduce inflammation and support the treatment of psoriasis and eczema.
- Baths with added salt aid in relaxation, help combat muscle pain, rheumatism, and swelling. Dissolving the salt in a bathtub creates a mineral-rich solution that relaxes the body, lowers blood pressure, and supports recovery after physical exertion.
- Dead Sea salt used in hair care reduces excessive oiliness of the scalp, helps remove dead skin cells and impurities, and strengthens hair follicles.
- The salt can be used as a natural face and body scrub. It helps exfoliate dead skin cells, unblock pores, and give the skin smoothness and radiance.
- Foot soaking with added salt has antifungal and antiseptic properties, and strengthens nails. Additionally, such baths provide relief to tired feet.
Natural Dead Sea salt contains 53% magnesium chloride and 37% potassium chloride, as well as bromides, which have a calming effect on the nervous system and improve well-being. Studies have confirmed that salt baths strengthen the skin’s protective barrier and increase hydration of its stratum corneum.
