Miracle from the dead!!, July 23, 2007
This review is from: Natural Dead Sea Salt - Unscented, Treat Psoriasis - 10 Pounds (Health and Beauty)
The dead sea salt at the awesome price I paid for it did wonders for my husband's ailing skin. He has had rashes in several different areas of skin that would come, go and get progressively worse over the last 3 years. He saw 4 dermatologists and a dermopathologist to try to get to the bottom of it. We gave up, instead of trying to find out what was causing it we focused on how to treat it and through some study found that the miracle minerals from the dead sea were not only the solution to his dermatitis ( also been called atopic, sebhorric, & contact dermatitis ) but also the answer to toned, moisturized healthy looking skin! His skin looks amazing and his problems are minimal and manageable.

More effective, way cheaper solution, December 24, 2009
This review is from: Natural Dead Sea Salt - Unscented, Treat Psoriasis - 10 Pounds (Health and Beauty)
This may be a nice product for the powder room but the price is prohibitive if you want to soak in conditions even remotely approximating the Dead Sea (30% salts). The active ingredient for psoriasis in Dead Sea salt is magnesium, which is 50% of the salt composition. If I read Wikipedia correctly, commercial Dead Sea salt, which is derived from the mineral rich mud surrounding the Dead Sea, has 4.5% magnesium.
You can buy a 50 lb bag of magnesium chloride, which commercially is a gentler form of rock salt for de-icing, at Amazon for $70 with shipping. During the winter months, you can get magnesium chloride from a hardware store for $25 per 50lb bag. I bath in 6-7 pounds of magnesium chloride at a time, as often as I can. With the addition of Oxipor coal tar lotion, you have an important first step in getting aggressive psoriasis under control without resorting to steroids and the rest, which I've never found to work.
By my calculations, the product advertised here delivers magnesium for $66.67 a pound. Versus magnesium chloride based rock salt which is $1.40 a pound if shipped by freight and $.66 a pound from your local hardware store during the winter months. Interestingly, the same companies provide both the fancy and the hardware store versions of magnesium chloride.

Works Great, We are Dead Sea salt converts!, July 29, 2008
This review is from: Natural Dead Sea Salt - Unscented, Treat Psoriasis - 10 Pounds (Health and Beauty)
My husbands Psoriasis has dramatically improved after bathing in these dead sea salts (and using a mud soap we also got here on amazon). Just a 15-20 minute bath every other night has helped relieve symptoms that serious steroid creams could not help! It really is amazing. I like these salts too because they are relaxing and have a lot of good minerals, but I prefer the scented versions. He cant have anything with fragrance due to the psoriasis so he really prefers this unscented version. I also like the resealable bag they come in it's really convenient.
