The Dead Sea’s salt concentration is 33%, 10 times greater than the ocean. Also, Dead Sea salt is uniquely constituted—chemically composed unlike any other salt in the world—which is why people have sought it out for so long. In fact, over 2,000 years ago, the Roman historian Flavius wrote, “The Dead Sea cannot be praised too highly…travelers take this salt home because it heals the human body and is therefore used in many medicines.” When I visited the Dead Sea in 1977 and actually swam in it, there weren’t dozens of ultra-luxury resorts like there are now to cater to the zillions of tourists from just about everywhere who “take the waters” and plop the salty mud all over their bodies. Nope, it was just 16 year-old me, my friends, seven elderly ladies from New Jersey and a ramshackle kibbutz.
You don’t have to travel 6,000 miles to benefit from these storied waters and their healing salts. Lots of people sell them, but few are scented only with pure essential oil, and no one else has our custom Spa scent, a fresh, clean mélange of California lemon, Australian eucalyptus and Washington peppermint. Perfect for after-sport or anytime you feel sore, in need of solace or restoration.
Compare our 100% Dead Sea salts to Molton Brown’s Thermal Salts Muscle Soak at $32 for 10 ounces, which don’t contain any Dead Sea salt and are artificially scented.
