• Magnesium: aids sleep and relaxation, promotes quick healing of skin tissue and provides the skin’s surface with anti-allergic elements, essential for cell metabolism.
• Bromide: soothes skin, relaxes body muscles and calms nerves.
• Chloride: combines with hydrogen in the stomach to make hydrochloric acid a powerful digestive enzyme.
• Sodium: relieves stiffness and muscle cramps. Also a detoxifying agent, helping cells retain nourishment and expel waste.
• Calcium: an essential mineral known to strengthen bones and teeth and cell membranes. Also cleanses pores.
• Potassium: helps balance moisture in the skin and body, aiding in the reduction of water retention and in the nourishment of cells. Also regulates the nervous system.
• Iodine: important for the correct function of the thyroid gland and aids metabolic exchanges

• Zinc: when applied topically zinc is known to boost the immune system.
Benefits of Dead Sea Salts
Unsurprisingly, given the number of people who have sung the benefits of the Israeli beach vacation cure, the benefits of Dead Sea salt have been the most scientifically researched and tested of all the bath salts. And, the results have meant that the cynics have had to cast their cynicism to one side as studies from across the globe have demonstrated the positive effect that Dead Sea salts can have on inflammatory diseases, including eczema, psoriasis and arthritis. Indeed, many hospitals, health bodies and dermatologists are advocates for Dead Sea salts as a natural remedy for these conditions. So, sceptics – beware! Our Dead Sea goddess is not just a pretty face. Dead Sea Salts can soothe, nourish AND assist with a number of ailments.
Inflammatory diseases (eczema, psoriasis, allergic reactions, rashes, dry and ageing skin) Dead Sea salts have been linked to successfully reducing the effects of inflammatory diseases such as eczema, dry skin, roughness and skin redness. This is thought to be linked to the high magnesium content in Dead Sea salts which binds water, influences epidermal proliferation and differentiation and enhances permeability barrier repair. The high bromide and magnesium in Dead Sea salt can relieve allergic reactions by cleansing.
Interestingly, one study into Dead Sea salt benefits has shown a 40% reduction in the depth of wrinkling. However, this is one you will have to prove yourself as it isn’t backed by enough independent scientific studies … We know bath salts are good, but even we can’t claim that they can turn back the clock.
Rheumatic arthritis Dead Sea Salts are known to assist with rheumatic arthritis. Studies in Germany and Israel have proven that bathing in a 2% bath solution at home can deliver significant benefits to sufferers of arthritis. These include reduction in morning stiffness, improvement in walk time, hand-grip strength, activities of daily living, circumference of proximal interphalangeal joints, number of active joints and serum levels of amyloid A, rheumatoid factor, sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium.
Stress and insomnia A good old soak in Dead Sea salts (we recommend 20 minute plus) is an excellent way to achieve deep relaxation. The combination of the warmth of the bath and the Dead Sea salts (which are a feast of minerals for the skin) assists with reducing stress, calming the mind and balancing emotions. A relaxation solution that is cheaper than a massage, a yoga or meditation session … what is there not to love?
Muscle aches and pains The minerals from Dead Sea salts can help improve blood circulation which reduces inflammation and serves as a general muscle relaxant – this is mainly due to the potassium and bromide in Dead Sea salts. So for your sporty ones out there – it may be worth incorporating a salty bath into your regime. Hey – you may even become the next Hussain Bolt (or maybe not).
Autism People with autism, and parents of children with autism, have offered anecdotal support to the benefits of bath salts (both Dead Sea and Epsom) to help relax their children. This is due to the sulphur and magnesium contained in these salts which help relax and promote calmness.
Benefits of Himalayan Salts
Improve the quality of skin Himalayan salt is said to clean and purify pores and make skin smoother and more supple.
Inflammatory diseases (eczema, psoriasis, allergic reactions, rashes, dry and ageing skin) Like Dead Sea salts, Himalayan salts are also said to have a positive effect on common skin conditions such as dry skin, psoriasis and acne, as well as heal rashes, blisters and insect bites.
Prevent muscle cramping and soreness Soaking in warm salty water can sooth cramping aches and pain. Like Dead Sea Salts, the minerals from Pink Himalayan Salts can help improve blood circulation which reduces inflammation and serves as a general muscle relaxant – this is mainly due to the potassium and bromide. Interestingly, Himalayan Salts are said to alleviate the symptoms of PMS (we told you this salt keeps on giving).
Regulate sleep and decrease stress Like other bath salts, Himalayan Salts are linked to better sleep and reduced stress. Bathing in warm, salty water (we recommend 20 minutes plus) is an excellent way to achieve deep relaxation. The combination of the warmth of the bath and the Himalayan Salts (which are a feast of minerals for the skin) assists with reducing stress, calming the mind and balancing emotions. A relaxation solution that is cheaper than a massage, a yoga or meditation session … what is there not to love?

Our skin is amazingly complex and, by weight, the largest organ of the body. It covers some 22 square feet and weighs around nine pounds (roughly 7% of body weight). Its integumentary system provides the front line of defense for the body, as well as being expressive of physiological conditions and emotional states. Skin is the extension of our nervous system to the outside of the body. It is involved in processes of exchange between the internal and external environments respiration, absorption and elimination.
