People today are busier than ever, and often they overlook health problems because they don’t have time to go to the doctor. Some claim that there is an easy, at-home remedy that doesn’t take much time to administer. Dead Sea salts have been found to be effective in the treatment of a variety of disorders, such as rheumatologic conditions and skin conditions, and may even help to reduce stress.
Rheumatological Conditions
According to Saltworks, rheumatologic conditions such as arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, back pain and psoriasis have all been effectively treated through the use of Dead Sea salts. Most individuals find that soaking in a bath or applying the salts in a mud form is effective in reducing soreness and stiffness. In addition, the minerals in the Dead Sea salts have been found to improve blood circulation, thereby minimizing the inflammatory response of these conditions. Other beneficial responses include a muscle relaxant property—and when heated, the ability of the Dead Sea salts to penetrate and be absorbed into the system is increased.
Skin Conditions
Skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema, dandruff, scabies and seborrhea have all been effectively treated through the use of Dead Sea salts. Research by the National Psoriasis Foundation has found that soaking in Dead Sea salts can provide relief from these conditions without any potential side effects; in fact, they recommend the use of Dead Sea salts to treat the disorders. Sea salts also have the ability to treat cosmetic skin conditions such as dryness, by moisturizing, detoxifying and softening the skin. Dead Sea salt has also been found to promote cell regeneration, and can reduce fine lines and wrinkles by 40 percent.
Stress Reduction
Dead Sea salts also have the ability to reduce stress. Soaking in a bath with these salts causes a drop in blood pressure and muscle relaxation. Dead Sea salts have also been found to increase circulation and remove toxins from the body, thereby allowing increased levels of relaxation. By allowing the body to become more relaxed, insomnia levels decrease and allow users to be more rested and rejuvenated.
Other Benefits
In addition, Dead Sea salts have been found to be effective in the treatment of hair loss, and can help strengthen teeth and bones. It may also be beneficial for individuals who suffer from metabolic conditions.
