If you've ever floated in the Dead Sea, you'll probably remember the 'texture' of the water -- a water that almost feels slightly oily against the skin, but it's not -- it's the unique, dense mixed mineral profile, and quite unlike ocean water. I've never found that in other brands of Dead Sea salts, but one good handful of Minera in a tub of warm water brought that memory right back -- it feels so much like the real thing that I was looking around for the mud!
You might also remember that half an hour soaking in the Dead Sea can make you feel like you just took a couple Xanax -- that's partly the greater oxygen at that low altitude, but partly breathing the mineral-rich air. I never expected to get THAT from mere bath salts, but a long soak using Minera was extremely calming and relaxing, and definitely unlike the other brands I've used.
Finally, and the reason I bought it -- a recurring contact dermatitis problem cleared up after soaking the area with Minera-salted water for a few minutes twice a day for just 3 days. It is very drying, like the Dead Sea, but also healing.
I was a skeptic -- how different can one brand of Dead Sea salt be from the others? I didn't think any of them could capture the real qualities of the Dead Sea. Now I'm a believer -- Minera is as close as you can get, and is the only brand I'll use from now on.
Last thing -- if you've ever soaked in the Dead Sea, you remember being cautioned: DO NOT get it in your eyes or your mouth! That's good advice with Minera, too. It's not 'Sea Salt,' folks, and it's not going to make 'salt water.' Use it sensibly.
