Bathing in Dead Sea salts infused with essential oils can help restore your body and replenish your soul. For centuries, people have traveled to the Dead Sea to benefit from its healing mineral enriched waters. Legendary historical figures like King David, the Queen of Sheba and Cleopatra have found refuge and rejuvenation in the waters of the Dead Sea.
The Dead Sea, bordering Jordan to the East and Israel and the West Bank to the West, has one of the highest salinity rates, making it one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. In addition, it also possesses very high mineral contents which science has proven to help heal many health conditions.
You are probably wondering how bathing in sea water can help promote good health and well-being.
Scientists believe that there is a similarity on a physiological level between our blood plasma and sea water. Human blood contains minerals such as potassium, sodium and chlorine in the same proportions as sea water. The main difference is that there is much more salt in sea water than in human blood plasma and there is much more pure water in blood than in sea water. This information has led to the use of sea water in therapies for various ailments. It is believed that by bathing in sea water warmed to body temperature (98 degrees F/37 C), negative ions are activated, penetrating our skin via the pores and bringing elements of the ocean to our internal organs. By doing so, health conditions including allergies, bone-related diseases, circulatory, respiratory, and skin problems can be alleviated.
Dead Sea salt in particular has a very high mineral content when compared to other salts and is known for treating skin conditions and improving the body's internal processes. The minerals found in Dead Sea salt are known to heal skin tissue, aid metabolism, balance moisture in the skin, reduce water retention, remove toxins, relax muscles and relieve muscle stiffness and cramps. Doctors agree that people with skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis have benefited from therapy involving Dead Sea salt baths.
Adding essential oils to a warm bath with Dead Sea bath salts turns this already therapeutic practice into a luxurious aromatic and some say, spiritual experience. Plant essential oils too have properties that aid in good health and emotional well-being. Aroma-therapists believe that using essential oils properly can help restore the body and soul by improving one's health and vitality. For example, lavender helps treat depression and sleep disorders, citrus scents are uplifting and patchouli is a known aphrodisiac. The benefits of using natural Dead Sea bath salts infused with essential oils for good health and emotional well-being are limitless.
