DEAD SEA SALTS

Mineral salts from the Dead Sea are an oasis of relief for aching muscles. This month we are using pure Dead Sea Salts, as a salt scrub, and by blending up to three essential oils into the products you can come up with not only a soothing remedy but also a smell pleasing to more than one of your senses.

MAIN BENEFITS:

The basics for an effective detox programme are plenty of water, a healthy diet, plus lots of fresh air and regular exercise. Toxins describe the waste products formed as our bodies create energy, digest food, transport blood and we use our muscles. These by-products are processed and eliminated by organs such as the liver, kidneys, intestines, lungs and skin. Sometimes there are times when our body feels overwhelmed by its task, and this is where it is good to detox not only from the inside but also on the outside of our bodies too.

USEFULNESS:

Salt scrubs generally dry out the skin and is therefore best for oily skin and acne. They do however help to restore your alkaline/acidity balance using 1-2 times per week.

To assist Dead Sea Salts you can also use the following tools in ensuring your body really gets its reward, and improve circulation.

These increase blood circulation to vital organs and tissues and kick-start a sluggish lymphatic system. Using one of the above helps to buff the body smooth and softens the skin by sloughing away the dead, flaky cells. At a deeper level it stimulates the blood circulation, giving the skin a healthy glow. Firm, sweeping strokes boost the flow of lymph, carrying excess fluid away from the tissues. Try this with a dry natural brush, loofah or mitt and work over your body towards the heart. Then use the detox blend in the bath, shower, sauna or steam. Discover the art of switching off at will – it’s the key to restoring your energy reserves whenever they are running low.

SAFETY WARNING:

Avoid juniper, black pepper, peppermint and rosemary if pregnant or have epilepsy.
