The health benefits of Dead Sea minerals on psoriasis in particular are widely acknowledged. The USA's National Psoriasis Foundation, on its web site, cites them as helpful in relieving redness and itchiness. A study conducted by researchers from the Dermatology Unit at St. Andrew's Hospital in London in 2005 also confirmed that Dead Sea minerals "reduced itchiness and irritation" – reaffirming the conclusions of research conducted in 1998 by researchers from the Department of Dermatology of Soroka University Medical Center and the Faculty of Health Sciences at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, in Beer Sheba, Israel.
Psoriasis is a skin condition characterized by overactive skin cells that rapidly divide. Cellular growth is directly influenced by high mineral and ion concentrations. Using an electron microscope, researchers have shown an increase in cellular mineral content of calcium and magnesium after topical exposure to Dead Sea salts and mud. The absorbance of minerals is believed to slow the accelerated cell division associated with psoriasis – with a cumulative effect, providing relief to those suffering from this disorder.
Recognizing the results of the above studies and many others, many European insurance companies, as well as some US health insurers, send psoriasis patients to the Dead Sea for treatment. The patients themselves – those suffering from psoriasis, as well as those diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, report remarkable improvement in their condition – not only during their stay at the Dead Sea, but also for weeks, and sometimes months, after returning home.
Research conducted in 2005 by researchers from the Department of Dermatology at the University of Kiel in Germany found benefits that included significant reduction of skin roughness and redness as a marker for inflammation and enhanced skin hydration among persons suffering from atopic dry skin.
The above research, as well as others, including those carried out at the Hebrew University School of Pharmacy in Jerusalem and at the Department of Dermatology of Soroka University Medical Center in Beer Sheba, Israel, among others, identify magnesium, manganese, bromides and K salts as particularly beneficial in the treatment of psoriasis.
While we can't bring you to the Dead Sea, we can bring the benefits of the Dead Sea to you!
Obey Your Body products include minerals such as bromide, magnesium, calcium, manganese, chromium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium and zinc, among others. Each of these contributes to skin health in its own way: by disinfecting and cleansing the skin; maintaining tissue elasticity; promoting blood circulation and cell regeneration; acting as an antioxidant and helping prevent the formation of free radicals; as well as by alleviating the discomfort associated with various skin conditions.
Our company's use of only the purest minerals excavated from deep within the sea bed is particularly important for these customers, who show their gratitude by repeatedly choosing us to meet their skin care needs.
