BENEFITS OF MINERALS
The salts and minerals contained in the waters of the Dead Sea help to counteract the skin’s natural degenerative process, stimulating and invigorating it.
The presence of volcanic thermal sources enriches the qualitative composition of the water, which contains almost all the elements present in nature (37 trace elements) and makes it different from all other seas, making it richer in magnesium and potassium rather than in sodium. The special feature, which makes this sea unique in the world, is the high concentration of salts and minerals, which have been used over the centuries as cosmetics for the beauty and well-being of the whole body.
Dead Sea mud has therapeutic powers and functions:
They help in the case of:
Sodium
Sodium ions remove skin scales and improve skin permeability. After penetrating the skin, they generate a sensation of softness. Ideal for very dry skin.
Magnesium
The concentrations of magnesium found in the Dead Sea are forty times higher than the salts of other seas. Magnesium is essential for cellular metabolism. For example, a significant magnesium deficiency was found in the skin scales and serum of patients with psoriasis. Magnesium presumably affects the skin cell maturation of psoriasis patients. Also, in cases of bronchial problems, magnesium works as an anti-allergic, and is also important for bone building, protein production and vitamin D fixation.
Potassium
Potassium improves oxidation and regulates the electrical process of muscles and the nervous system. Asthmatic patients get good results from inhaling salt vapors.
Bromide
The bromide concentration is 50 times higher than common salts. The presence of this salt allows to obtain a very relaxing effect.
Bitumen
In addition to other Dead Sea minerals found in smaller quantities, the salt contains a natural tar called bitumen that acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.
Chlorine
Chlorine is needed to maintain the correct alkaline and acid balance in the body, as well as being vital for cell metabolism.
Football
Calcium is needed to strengthen cell membranes. It is also vital for the production and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones, along with the regulation of muscles and the heart nervous system.
ZINC
Zinc plays a role in the enzymatic regulation of cell reproduction.
LITHIUM
It is a mood stabilizer and an antidepressant.
