With symbol K (from Latin kalium, “alkali”) and atomic number 19, Potassium is a chemically reactive and extremely soft metallic elements placed in group 1 of the periodic table. The element’s name comes from the English word potash, a potassium compound originally obtained by soaking wood ash in a pot of water and allowing the water to evaporate. Most potassium occurs in the Earth’s crust as minerals, such as feldspars and clays. Potassium is leached from these by weathering, which explains why there is quite a lot of this element in the sea (0.75 g/liter). Minerals mined for their potassium are pinkish and sylvite, carnallite and alunite. The main mining area used to be Germany, which had a monopoly of potassium before the First World War. Today most potassium minerals come from Canada, USA and Chile. The world production of potassium ores is about 50 million tonnes, and reserves are vast.
In modern society, our health is becoming the focus of our attention and the use of natural, rather than chemical skin care products and treatments is becoming increasingly relevant as our awareness of the harm we can cause to our bodies through the use of chemicals and hormones increases.
With this in mind, results of a recent 12 month clinical experiment into the therapeutic effects of natural Dead Sea water, mud, sunlight and air on sufferers from psoriasis is especially interesting.
The Dead Sea
This form of therapy goes back to early civilisation and has rapidly evolved into the use of mud packs, saunas and steam baths, physical exercises, inhalation of water vapour, and drinking mineral water; all these come under the general name of balneotherapy [1].
The process involves particular types of water, which have healing properties; these include, sulphur springs and concentrated salty water, such as found at the Dead Sea. Hot springs, which are high in Radon (a radioactive substance) are also said to possess particular healing properties.
Mineral waters
Mineral waters are natural solutions, which are formed under specific geologic conditions and characterised by what is known as chemico-physical dynamism. Originating in springs, they are bacteriologically pure and have a therapeutic potential. In recent times, thousands of health resort areas have developed around hot springs, and each spa resort is differentiated according to location (sea side or mountain area) and the chemical composition of their mineralised water. Mineral waters may be classified in many ways according to their distinctive chemical and physical elements, such as temperature, molecular concentration, chemical composition, and mechanism of therapeutic action. Spa waters can be said to be salty, sulphurous, carbonic, arsenical, bicarbonated, sulphated, and ferruginous based on their chemical content. Water temperature is described as being cold (30°C-40°C), or hyperthermal (>40°C). According to Matz et al (2003) the waters used to treat dermatologic disorders have varying chemical and physical properties, but are generally rich in sulphur, hydrogen sulphide, and sulphates [2].
