Because there is no cure for psoriasis at this time the sufferers are constantly looking for new or different ways in which to treat and manage the pain related to psoriasis. There are many treatments that show up from time to time. This new psoriasis treatment is completely natural and has been around for thousands of years.
The good news for psoriasis sufferers is that a very popular TV news channel recently ran a special about the healing properties that were found to be in the Dead Sea salt and how a lot of people had found relief by using these natural salts. Studies that were recently conducted showed that the use of Dead Sea salt in Balneotherapy treatment eased sufferer’s pain. Some 50 or so psoriasis patients were brought together to take part in a study by an Israeli dermatologist.
Although it has been known for many years that people that had skin complaints found relief from bathing or even just visiting the Dead Sea it has never been determined whether it was actually the salts or other reasons such as atmospheric conditions or elevation changes. The Israeli dermatologist deemed that his study would focus on the salts only with this set of long-term sufferers. It was found that 47 of those taking part in the experiment showed increased levels of pain relief plus the lesions on the skin had improved from using Dead Sea bath salts. The biggest improvements were noticed when the patients used the salts three times a week over 6 weeks by putting three pounds of salt in their baths.
This Dead Sea salt is now available for use in the home, but you must be cautious when purchasing it, be sure that it’s from a recognized supplier who can provide you with a certificate of authenticity proving that it’s not just some expensive table salt.
