Hi Hove
I started bathing in dead sea salts a few months ago.  For about three weeks nothing happened, then my p (guttate and plaque) got much worse.....then, it just started clearing.  I couldn't believe it.  4 months on, my skin is still much, much better.  I have the odd flare, but then it calms down again.  I buy the salt from it from You are not allowed to view links.

The macrobiotic theory about the sun and sea salt helping P is that since P is an expansion and acceleration it is primarily a YIN cause and as Salt and Sun are the 2 most YANG things possible that letting them on the P neutralises the acceleration.

Hi eveyone. I can't try the dead sea salt baths as I have R.A. and can't get up and down in the bath but I do use the dead sea salt moisturiser. It's called ' spa  Dead Sea Majik ' and you can get it from Holland and Barrats for about £6.  It does help to keep the scales softer and I think it could help to improve the P with very long term use, especially if you can bathe in the sea salt as well. There is also a dead sea shampoo available but I haven't tried that yet.
Cheers. Carol.

Hi Minx - like the sound of the salts - 2 questions,
how much is delivery? and -
what is the make up of the salts? eg. magnesium etc.
The Yarden J Malki stuff i get has written on it
Magnesium Chloride min47%
Calcium Chloride max 2.2%
Sodium Chloride max 0.8%
Potassium Chloride max 0.5%
water of crystallization up to 100%
Not sure what it all means!!! but it sounds like some of the minerals are present from water analysis I have seen for the dead sea on the internet. Dont know the quantities though.
Paying £6.99 a kilo so happy to buy bulk if cheaper!
3 baths last week next planned tonight - will update changes!

Hi,
i've just started using dead sea salts (from holland and barrett).  These are £3.99 per kg bag.  I have looked around quite alot on the internet, but this seams the cheapest.  I use the whole bag in a bath then moisturise with boots aqueous cream (cheaper and better than e45).

Just a thought, and I stree that I have not tried it, but does anyone think that it would be worth trying domestic water softener salt?

It is not dead sea salt (what is the difference?) but at least softener salt does not have the additional chemicals which you find in domestic granular salt - which contains free flowing agents etc.

Just a thought

Plus, softener salt is about £5 for a 25kg bag

I have a UVB311 hair wand, which gets right down to the scalp.

Alibird, can you tell me any thing more about this?? sounds interesting, but what is it??

I have read somewhere before that the water hardness in some areas aggrivates P.  However when I looked into this myself I found that where I live (Edinburgh) has soft water.  Apparantely, the further south you live the harder the water is.  There has been reports of p sufferers using water softners in their baths (and you can get something to attach to the shower) and this has shown an improvement.
