Dead Sea Minerals

The Dead Sea contains 21 minerals including Sodium, Magnesium, Calcium, Bromine, Bitumen and Potassium. Twelve of these are found in no other sea or ocean and some are recognized for imparting a relaxed feeling, nourishing the skin, curing skin diseases, activating the circulatory systems and for easing rheumatic discomfort and metabolic disorders. The Dead Sea contains 10 times more salts and minerals than the Mediterranean Sea.

  • Sodium ions remove skin scales and improve its penetrability. After penetrating into the skin, they bind the water and generate a feeling of suppleness, ideal for very dry skin.

  • Magnesium concentrations found in the Dead Sea are fifteen times higher than salts in other seas. Magnesium is essential for cell metabolism. For instance, a significant deficit in Magnesium has been discovered in skin scales and serum of patients with psoriasis. Magnesium supposedly affects the ripening of skin cells of psoriasis patients. Moreover, in cases of bronchi, Magnesium works as an anti-allergic agent.

  • Potassium improves the oxidation and regulates the electrical process of the muscles and the nervous system. Asthma patients achieve good results from inhaling the salt vapors.

  • Bromide concentration is 50 times higher than common salts. Thus having a very relaxing effect.

  • Bitumen Besides other Dead Sea Minerals found in smaller amounts, the salt contains a natural tar called Bitumen which acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.

  • Chlorine is necessary to maintain the correct balance of alkaline and acid in the body, together with being vital for cell metabolism. Iodine is necessary for the production of the hormone thyroxin, and is also vital for both energy and cell metabolism.

  • Calcium is necessary in strengthening cell membranes and cleansing the pores. In addition it is vital for production and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones, together with regulating the heart muscles and nerves.

  • Zinc plays a role in enzymatic regulation of cell proliferation.
