Salt
Amazing Benefits and Cost Effective Treatments

Salt is the only mineral that people commonly eat and it’s been sought after by animals and humans which reaches far back into the distant past. Much like today, salt was popular in antiquity as a food preservative and an ingredient in snacks. In some ancient societies, sodium was even used as a form of currency.
Ancient records show that people traveled many miles to bathe in salt waters. Mineral-rich, salty waters have been known to help alleviate skin disorders, stimulate circulation, hydrate the skin, increase moisture retention, promote cellular regeneration, detoxify, and help heal dry, scaly, irritated skin. They reduce inflammation, relax muscles, joints and relieve pain and soreness. Important minerals are readily absorbed into the skin when we bathe in a warm sea salt bath.

Numerous therapeutic effects of bathing in the salt waters of Dead Sea were well known in times of antiquity.  According to the book of Samuel, King Solomon presented the Queen of Sheba with Dead Sea salts upon her visit to the Holy Land. The Empress Cleopatra, who was an ardent user of Dead Sea beauty potions, was presented the entire region by Mark Anthony after he had conquered it.

The mineral is a vital component of all bodily fluids often working in combination with other minerals such as potassium, sodium which helps to manage the distribution and pH balance of these fluids inside the body and plays an important role in blood pressure regulation. Sodium is referred to as an electrolyte because it possesses a mild electrical charge when dissolved in bodily fluids. Due to this charge, sufficient amounts of the mineral are necessary for the normal functioning of nerve transmissions and muscle contractions.   

People who suffer from low sodium levels may experience a wide range of bothersome or serious health problems, including digestive disorders, muscle twitching or weakness, memory loss, fatigue, and lack of concentration or appetite. Arthritis may also develop. These problems usually occur when fluids that belong in the bloodstream take a wrong turn and enter cells.

While sodium deficiencies are rare, supplementation may be required in people with certain medical conditions such as Addison's disease, adrenal gland tumors, kidney disease, or low blood pressure. More sodium may also be needed by those who experience severe dehydration or by people who take diuretic drugs.

Few people haven't heard about the miraculous results obtained by using the Dead Sea muds, salts and clays to treat such conditions as psoriasis, eczema, acne, dermatitis, as well as arthritis, rheumatism, other musculo-skeletal problems and disorders of the genito-urinary and other body systems.

The use of Dead Sea products brings excellent results. The effectiveness of Dead Sea salts is so obvious that many natural health clinics have been using them to treat their patients with various problems.

A number of medical studies in people suggest that soaking in water from the Dead Sea may be beneficial in the treatment of various diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and osteoarthritis of the knees. Located in Israel, the Dead Sea is many times saltier than ocean water and rich in other minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and calcium

 

Halite, better known as rock salt is found in many current evaporative deposits such as near Salt Lake City, Utah and Searles Lake California in the U.S., where it crystallizes out of evaporating brine lakes. It is also found in ancient bedrock all over the world where large extinct salt lakes and seas have evaporated millions of years ago, leaving thick deposits of salt behind.

Healing with Rapan Salt

Rapan is a Natural Salt that is produced on the basis of ecologically clean, certified deposit of the Ostrovnoye Lake in the Novosibirsk region.

The original raw material, brine (or “rapah” in Russian) has a number of microelements diluted in the lake, with practically no harmful bacteria. Natural antiseptic properties of the water and mud represent a natural health enhancing complex.

In autumn, October-November, when the temperature of the lake goes down, the surface of the lake becomes smaller, which means that the concentration of salt in the lake rises. Natural crystallisation and sedimentation of naturally clean large salt crystals occurs. Immediately, Rapan salt is harvested, tested for safety and packaged. Because of the non-thermal method of crystallisation, all the natural ingredients are preserved in the resulting product. The salt also appears wet due to a high content of what is called 'crystallohydrate' - the product of the binding of water by inorganic substances in the cold conditions of Siberia. The water in this 'bound' state plays a very important role as far as therapeutic properties of the salt are concerned, and here is why:

• It acts as a moisturiser for skin cells
• It stimulates skin cell growth and regeneration
• It promotes regeneration of skin collagen
• The water in the crystals is 'living' water, since it forms the basis of life of the peptides in the salt.

The therapeutic properties of peptides in Rapan result in pain relief, stimulation of antioxidant and adaptogenic regulatory systems,
and general cell regeneration (anti-aging properties).

Try a healing salt bath and you will feel the benefits immediately.
