All these minerals, combined with the natural benefits of salt (sodium chloride) and the rejuvenating qualities of a warm bath, have a range of benefits for your feet. Exfoliate: Dead Sea salt is a great natural exfoliator. While soaking your feet, grab some fresh salt and gentle scrub problem areas, like your heels. The high sodium content helps slough off dead skin cells and flakes, leaving you with fresh, revitalised skin. Calm skin allergies: If you suffer from skin allergies such as eczema, or fungal condition like athlete’s foot, a Dead Sea salt bath can work wonders. It has wonderful anti-fungal, antimicrobial, and antibacterial properties that help cleanse and detoxify. Magnesium is also a natural anti-inflammatory, and will help calm and soothe inflamed skin. Deodorise: The antifungal, detoxifying effects of a Dead Sea salt bath are a great way to naturally deodorise feet. Relieve arthritis: Dead Sea salts have shown to have wonderful therapeutic benefits for rheumatoid arthritis. Relax and Revive Sore Feet and Aching Joints: A long soak in Dead Sea salt water is a brilliant way to soothe those aching joints and muscles in the feet. Bromide helps ease muscle cramps, while the anti-inflammatory and detoxifying agents help reduce joint swelling, soreness and stiffness.
