I need Low Soduim mineral sea salt for use in A detox spa. Is there a difference between dead sea salts?

Question

Hi

I bought a Detox foot spa and with it came "Low Soduim Mineral Sea Salt which you have to add to the water. This could be a long story so be prepared ;-) I have psoriasis and found that the p on my feet disappeared when having about 4 weeks of treatment. Yet When i use to soak in dead salt in the bath for half an hour 3 times a week over a long period it didn't seem to do much for my p. My questions is simple. Is there a difference between dead sea salts. The type i bought to bathe in came from isreal which is suppose to be the real thing. I have thought of just ordering the type for the detox but i would have to order a vast amount for bathing and that would cost a fortune. The dead sea salt i bought for bathing wasn't exactly cheap but i bought it from a health shop which came in bigger bags. Im just trying to find out if there are differences. Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

I looked at a couple of the "low-sodium" salts (So-lo & NutraSalt) and they have potassium chloride in place of the usual sodium chloride. You might see if a pharmacist can get you plain old potassium chloride for your psoriasis.

Now Foods also makes it in an 8 oz container. Check w/ your health food store to see if they can order that in bulk quantities of 5#. http://www.nowfoods.com/?action=itemdeta...

Answer 2

While sea salt contains approximately 97% sodium chloride, Dead sea salt contains less than 20% sodium chloride.

A low sodium sea salt is PURE Dead Sea salt. Some salt manufacturers sometimes replaces Dead Sea salt with something else since Dead Sea salt is more expensive than ordinary sea salt.
