Within Dead Sea Salt, magnesium plays an important role for combating stress and fluid retention, slowing skin aging, and calming the nervous system.
Calcium is an effective mineral at preventing water retention, increasing circulation, and strengthening bones and nails.
Potassium within the body, energises and helps to balance skin moisture. Potassium is a crucial mineral to replenish following intense exercise and thus make Dead Sea Salts ideal for use after exercise and strenuous activity.
Bromides act to ease muscle stiffness and relax muscles.
Sodium is important for the lymphatic fluid balance (this in turn is important for immune system function).

EPSOM SALT:
Therapeutically cleansing and rejuvenating Epsom salts are often used as bath soak due to their amazing natural mineral properties.
Did you know that Epsom salt got its name from an English town in Surrey, Epsom. Epsom salt’s scientific name is Magnesium Sulphate.
Health benefits:
Epsom salts are easily absorbed into the skin where the magnesium ions in the salt break apart and begin to relieve stress by promoting the production of serotonin and reducing the effects of adrenaline. Magnesium can give the feeling of rejuvenation, without restlessness and anxiety.
Relieve Pain and Cramping - Because the magnesium is absorbed by the skin, magnesium helps reduce inflammation in muscles and joints. It can be useful in dealing with tension headaches and cramps. Tired, sore and weary feet will benefit from Epsom Salts. The anti-inflammatory effects can be useful in dealing with Sprains and Bruises.
Improve Circulation - Magnesium helps improve circulation and prevent serious cardiovascular illness by decreasing inflammation and protecting the elasticity of arteries.
