Dead Sea salts are minerals dissolved in the Dead Sea, an ancient mineral bath situated in Israel. The water from the bath is used to bath and cleanse a person. Many different therapeutic benefits have been realized by those who take advantage of the benefits of Dead Sea salts. Here are some of them.

It has been found that using bath salts can help eliminate problems associated with the feet. It helps cleanse the skin and treat dry and itchy feet. In fact, it is one of the most important components that should be used when preparing a complete foot bath and shower scrub. A foot soak and shower scrub should contain essential oil to ensure the best benefits from using bath salts.

People who have high levels of stress, depression, and anxiety can also benefit from the use of bath salt. Stress is known to cause changes in the body including the rise of heart rate, blood pressure, and the release of certain chemicals in the brain. When the heart rate rises, it increases blood pressure, which in turn increases the force of the muscles around the heart. This can cause sensations of dizziness, nausea, headaches, insomnia, trembling, and feelings of hopelessness, depression, fear, confusion, and other unpleasant feelings. Negative reactions to stress can produce a feeling of euphoria, which can make a person feel irritable and even irrational.

Apart from helping alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, salts can also help reduce the level of the stress hormone cortisol by balancing the production of the hormone in the body. Cortisol is responsible for the fight or flight response that is triggered in the body when faced with a threatening situation. When the fight or flight response is released too much, a person can experience extreme responses such as an increase in body temperature, sweating, rapid pulse and breathing, numbness and tingling sensations, and the sensation that everything around them is unreal. These symptoms are usually present when a person is stressed, upset or fearful. By using bath salts to dissolve cortisol, people are able to lessen the effects of these negative reactions.

In a study conducted by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, it was found that bath salts contain trace amounts of the same chemical compounds that are found in high doses of cocaine and other psychoactive substances. It has been reported that there are over 1800 different chemical compounds within bath salts. These chemical compounds have not been positively identified as being the active ingredient in any one of the bath salts. However, there have been several cases where people have had near-death experiences after taking these drugs.

Because bath salts may act as a sleep aid, there are also cases where people have passed out or suffered other fatal drug side effects while they were sleeping. There have even been reports where bath salts have killed children and adults while they were sleeping. Although bath salts may not be classified as legal substances, there is no law against buying and using them. Many people who use bath salts find that they are a comfortable and harmless way to relax. When used correctly, bath salts may help relax the body, relieve stress and reduce anxiety. When taken incorrectly, bath salts can lead to serious and potentially life threatening problems.
