An Alternative Way to Cure Psoriasis
The
Dead Sea is located at the lowest place on earth, at 200 feet below sea
level. The bottom of the sea riches deep layers in the earth's core,
accessing some of the highest concentration of minerals available. The
high levels of salt in its water prevent any living creatures to sustain
in it, hence the name the Dead Sea. But ironically, it has been
improving people's health for centuries, since the ancient days of Queen
Cleopatra and King Herod.

has the perfect conditions to help treat skin ailment, body aches and
poor blood circulation:

- The water is different from any other sea on the planet, with about 10 times the amount of salt than regular sea water. Also, the water is naturally enriched with hydrogen sulfide gas. In addition, the water is rich in vital minerals like magnesium, potassium and calcium.
- The Dead Sea Black mud from the bottom of the sea is rich in all the minerals found in the water, and also contain silica, an important mineral that hardens when it dries. All the minerals get absorbed into the skin, and when the mud is washed away it extracts all the impurities and dead cells from the top layer of the skin.
