The waters from the Dead Sea are unique in that they contain 27% of various salts as compared to 3% in normal sea water. Dead Sea salt contains magnesium, potassium, calcium chloride, and bromides. Magnesium is important for both combating stress and fluid retention, slowing skin aging, and calming the nervous system. Calcium is effective at increasing circulation, and strengthening bones and nails. Potassium energizes the body, helps to balance skin moisture. Bromides act to ease muscle stiffness and relax muscles. Sodium is important for the lymphatic fluid balance. Dr. J. Arndt studied the effect of Dead Sea salt baths on psoriasis. Fifty patients were treated for 3-4 weeks, taking 3-4 baths each week. In as little as one week, many patients treated with a 10% salt concentration in their baths experienced marked improvement. This improvement included relief from itching and skin scaling. Treatment with Dead Sea salts is not associated with any side effects. Activated charcoal works because it chemically binds other substances to its surface and can absorb thousands of times its own weight. It also has an incredibly large surface area due to all of its pores - one cubic inch of charcoal has the surface area equivalent to a 150,000 square-foot field. This is why just a bit of charcoal can absorb so many toxins, atoms, and ions.
