 The
Dead Sea black mud that is found in abundance on the shores of
the Dead Sea has been shown to contain healing properties that
are ideal for the treatment of a wide variety of joint diseases
and skin conditions. The writings of historians and doctors,
dating as far back as the 1st century AD, speak openly of its
near mystical, curative qualities. Today, countless visitors
from all over the world visit the resorts and spas lining the
Dead Sea and generously apply black mud to relieve arthritic
pain, soothe chronically irritated and dry skin and treat a
variety of skin conditions.
The medicinal natural black mud is a homogeneous mixture of
Dead Sea minerals, organic elements retrieved from the shoreline
as well as mixed with earth. When applied to the skin, the Dead
Sea mud improves and stimulates blood circulation in affected
areas of many types of joint diseases, due to its thermopexic
properties. Medicinal black mud is also useful for cleansing and
softening the skin.
