Mud as a cure for skin diseases – is the mud of the Dead Sea enough?
The mud of the Dead Sea became a brand a long time ago.
Its medical and cosmetic qualities are well known all around the world.
There is a reason that there are, today, more than 70 companies which produce and export the Dead Sea products to every single corner around the world.
But do these virtues actually exist and work? So, that we can discuss.
When speaking to dermatologists it was revealed that it’s not exactly the case.
The Dead Sea indeed has healing qualities to a variety of skin conditions, they say, but it’s not necessary due to the mud.
The mud does relax and nurture the skin, there is no doubt about that.
But for skin diseases such as psoriasis and more, the treatment that the Dead Sea provides is in fact the radiation.
The exposure to ultraviolet light, so unique to the Dead Sea due to its low location, are the cure.
The Dead Sea sun rays enable long harmless exposure and thus enabling patients to treat their disease.
dead sea mud. Health from nature.
Not enough for you? No problem.
Studies have also shown that the water in the Dead Sea is useful when treating different skin conditions.
That water – thanks to the salts and minerals – penetrates the outer skin layer as well as the inner layers.
The water helps, and sometimes even cures, skin diseases such as psoriasis, skin asthma, or Vitiligo
But, to oppose these studies, we don’t know of studies about mixed water.
We don’t know of any studies which have proven that the quality of the minerals of the Dead Sea water doesn’t have damaging properties when mixed with other substances, packed, and moved to the shelves…
So what does it mean?
The ultraviolet sun rays, combined with bathing in the sea water, and using the black mud found at its bottom can definitely help and even cure different skin conditions.
The shelf products containing Dead Sea minerals could definitely assist with different conditions such as rashes, itches, etc.
Companies producing Dead Sea products claim that the products can definitely assist the skin, keep it looking young, and preserve it.
There is no possibility of knowing which precise element assists more and which less.
To conclude:
If you are truly suffering from a condition which requires treatment, improvement, and healing, it’s best to visit the Dead Sea.
Come down here and combine resting in the sun with dipping in the water and rubbing mud you pulled yourselves out from the bottom of the sea.
If you choose to purchase products, whether it is to soothe the skin or for cosmetic use, search for the standard seal of approval given to the products of the Dead Sea which were examined and proven effective.

Dead Sea mud, natural or industrial – which Dead Sea mud is better, natural, or industrial?
In the days when all the Dead Sea beaches were available for all visitors, it used to be very easy to reach the natural and original beach found on the bottom of the sea, rub it on your skin and lay on the beach to let the skin absorb it and let it do its magic.
Today, most of the Dead Sea beaches are closed due to the fact that it is drying out due to the sinkholes and to the large number of industrial factories lying along the shoreline.
In any case, there are less and less sources from which pure mud could be taken.
On the other hand, there are more and more products packed in jars, bottles, and marketed bags, and they can be found not only around the Dead Sea but rather all around the world.
But. And it’s one important but.
We all know the virtues of the natural mud, but the mud sold around the world as the Dead Sea mud does not always maintain its freshness.
In many cases, the manufacturers add additional materials to the pure mud, some of which are synthetic and may cause severe damage to the skin – especially in long term usage.
And so, instead of achieving the desired effect of renewing, firming, and refreshing the skin – we will achieve the opposite result.
Why? Because those materials speed up skin wrinkling and damage the skin.
So what do we do?
We take an extra minute to examine the ingredients of each product before purchasing it.
Read it carefully and examine the ingredient list written on the label and check: that it has the least amount of additional ingredients except for the mud itself, and
that the additional ingredients are entirely natural and do not include synthetic additives.
It’s best to not expect a miracle, and to rather step out of the luxurious pool and spa of your hotel and just come to one of the beaches which remain available.
There, you can enjoy the water the sun and the fresh, pure, and natural mud.
In the following link you can find a list of recommended beaches along the shoreline. Recommended Dead Sea Beaches

Cellulite and dead sea
It is important to note that cellulite is generally perceived as a problem of appearance and aesthetics, rather than as a medical problem.
