Dead Sea Salts are unique in their composition of minerals. They have become well known for their natural therapeutic uses of treating and caring for the body.
Have you ever noticed that taking a nice warm bath helps to relieve tension and/or tired aching muscles? Dead Sea salts which are rich with many different minerals can add benefits to your bath. With stress being one of the main culprits in causing us health problems, finding a way to relieve that stress will help in keeping us healthy. You can also try adding some essential oil along with the salts for the added pleasures of the wonderful aroma. Lavender is a great choice because it too is known for its stress relieving principals.
The Dead Sea is 33% salt, ten times the amount of salt found in other seas. It is told that the Dead Sea contains all this salt because of Lot’s wife. If anyone is familiar with the story where they were fleeing from the city of Sodom and after being told not to look back, Lot’s wife did. Immediately she was turned to a pillow of salt. Today archaeologists have speculated the whereabouts of these two cursed cities of Sodom and Gomorrah based on the salt pillars in the area.
So how and why are the Dead Sea salts good for us? One of the main minerals in the salts is the magnesium. Many people are deficient of this mineral and it is one of the many important minerals needed for our health and in slowing down the age process. While we should be getting magnesium in our foods the processing of them now days leaves most of us lacking. In fact most of us are not even getting half of the recommended daily requirement.
Without enough magnesium our bodies can accumulate toxins which speed up the signs of aging. That is why it is said bathing in Dead Sea salts will help keep you looking younger. Today you can find many products for the bath that do have these salts in them.
Those of us today who have a deficiency in magnesium have experience many diseases such as heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, strokes, brittle bones, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, thyroid failure are just to name a few. A lot of today’s ills can be link back to magnesium deficiency.
Using these salts in our baths can actually help in reducing our deficiency in magnesium. It will help speed up the removal of toxins in our bodies such as the heavy metals like aluminum, cadmium, lead, mercury, and nickel. Removing these toxins can help give us relief from muscle pains and headaches. Relaxing in this salt bath water can help to lower blood pressure as well.
You may ask, “why not just take a pill?” The absorption of magnesium pills is slow and therefore you are not able to get the amount of this mineral needed before eliminating the pill from the body. These pills also contain something to bind them together and we don’t need that. The skin is the largest organ we have and the absorption of magnesium through the skin is a great way of mineralizing and detoxifying. Bathing in Dead Sea salts helps you to replenish the body in just minutes and can be done in comfort.
People suffering with arthritis, joint pain or inflammation or muscular pains have found relief by using these Dead Sea salts. If you would like to notice a difference in your body while getting the magnesium needed for better health, Dead Sea salts can be what you need.
