Mineral composition
Dead Sea mineral composition varies by season, rainfall, depth of deposit, and ambient temperature. Most ocean salt is about 85% sodium chloride (the same salt as table salt) while Dead Sea salt is only 30.5% of this, with the rest composed of minerals and other dry salts. The concentrations of major ions in Dead Sea water have yielded the following results (which do not necessarily reflect the Dead Sea salt ):
The major minerals present in Dead Sea mud - the runoff stream flowing into the Dead Sea and carrying large sediments during the Holocene era - has been proven as follows:
- Expressed in an equivalent oxide, as appropriate; such as neutral sodium sulfate (Na 2 SO 4 ) will be analyzed as basic sodium oxide (Na 2 O) and sulfur trioxide acid (SO 3 ), which does not occur in free form in this mud.
Therapeutic benefits
Dead Sea Salt has been claimed to treat the following conditions:
Rheumatologic Conditions - in balneotherapy rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and osteoarthritis. Minerals are absorbed while soaking, stimulating blood circulation.
Common skin diseases - to treat skin disorders such as acne and psoriasis that can be lost by routinely immersing the affected area in water by adding Dead Sea salt. National Psoriasis Foundation recommends Dead Sea and Dead Sea Salt as an effective treatment for psoriasis. High concentrations of magnesium in Dead Sea salt can help in improving skin hydration and reduce inflammation, although Epsom salts are much cheaper salts that also contain large amounts of magnesium and therefore may be equally useful for this purpose.
Allergies - High concentrations of bromide and magnesium in Dead Sea salt can help relieve skin allergic reactions by reducing inflammation.
Skin aging - Dead Sea salt can reduce the depth of skin wrinkles.
