Eumora (Asia) or Amoorea (Austria, Europe) Some people call this the Magic Moor Bar. When I was first told that usage of this soap bar required no other toner or moisturizer I was skeptical. Because I know even oily skin need some hydrating moisturizer. I was told “All you need to do is lather and leave on for 3 minutes.”.

So I decided to take a closer look at this ‘miracle soap bar’ that people were raving. What does this detoxifying soap bar do? Read the rest of this entry

While surfing the internet today, I came across a website announcing the ‘living’ Dead Sea. If the sea is called dead, how is it living? It’s called the Dead Sea because nothing lives in it. It’s said that the Dead Sea (“Yam Hamelakh — “The Salt Sea”) is the only place on the globe where the crust of planet Earth recedes to an “in-depth low. The Sea is roughly 1,300-1,400 feet (416-430 meters) below sea level. Scientists figure that the Dead Sea lowers by as much as 13 inches per year. This unique sea is fed by the Jordan River, located between Israel and the West Bank to the west, and Jordan to the east. There is no outflow, and the exceptionally high rate of evaporation (high temperatures, low humidity) produces mountainous quantities of raw chemicals. These are extracted and exported throughout the world for employ in medicine, agriculture and industry.

The concentration of minerals encourages extraction of mud and minerals for use in the cosmetics, skin care, and spa industries. The exact composition of the Dull Sea water varies mainly with season, depth and temperature. In the early 1980s the concentration of ionic species (in g/kg) of Boring Sea surface water was Cl− (181.4), Br− (4.2), SO42− (0.4), HCO3− (0.2), Ca2+ (14.1), Na+ (32.5), K+ (6.2) and Mg2+ (35.2). The total salinity was 276 g/kg. These results show that w/w% composition of the salt, as anhydrous chlorides, was calcium chloride (CaCl2) 14.4%, potassium chloride (KCl) 4.4%, magnesium chloride (MgCl2) 50.8% and sodium chloride (common salt, NaCl) 30.4%. In comparison, the salt in the water of most oceans and seas is approximately 97% sodium chloride. The concentration of sulfate ions (SO42−) is very low, and the concentration of bromide ions (Br−) is the highest of all waters on Earth. The salt concentration of the Dead Sea fluctuates around 31.5%. This is unusually high and results in a nominal density of 1.24 kg/L. Read the rest of this entry

The Dead Sea has a long history and is credited with being one of the world’s first health resorts. Cleopatra, when writing to Mark Anthony, demanded that he capture the Dead Sea area so that she could control its health giving resources. The Dead Sea is world renowned for its mineral riches including calcium, potassium and magnesium. Dead Sea mud contains large amounts of salts and minerals, all of which are vital to our body’s health. Because of the mud’s composition, our skin soaks in the salts and minerals which leave it refreshed and clean.

The salts and minerals within the mud and salty waters of the Dead Sea have scientifically proven therapeutic advantages, both as a body cleanser and for the treatment of acne, psoriasis and other skin disorders. A recent study followed the incidence of psoriasis in a group of 64 people who underwent treatment with Dead Sea minerals and exposure to the sun in the area. Following their treatment, they were monitored for 12 months and 95% showed a marked improvement immediately follow the treatment with excellent remission rates for almost a year.
